Toxoplasma and cytokines

Dataset for study which assessed whether pregnant women in the first trimester infected with <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> have different cytokine levels than uninfected women. This study also examined whether women with discordant test results for toxoplasmosis represent a distinct group or a mixed group composed of infected women with unusually low levels of anti-<i>Toxoplasma</i> antibodies and uninfected women with high levels of cross-reacting antibodies. The dataset contains variables age, method of conception, parity, child sex, pregnancy length, toxoplasma status, and cytokine levels.本数据集用于一项研究，该研究评估妊娠首三个月感染刚地弓形虫（Toxoplasma gondii）的孕妇与未感染孕妇的细胞因子水平是否存在差异。本研究同时探讨了弓形虫病检测结果不一致的女性，究竟属于一个独特群体，还是由两类人群混合组成：一类是抗弓形虫抗体水平异常低下的感染者，另一类是存在高浓度交叉反应抗体的未感染者。该数据集涵盖以下变量：年龄、受孕方式、产次、胎儿性别、妊娠时长、弓形虫感染状态以及细胞因子水平。
