Aim: To determine the correlation between serum prolactin levels and Toxoplasma infection. Methods: The Department of General Medicine performed a prospective research. A total of 200 blood samples were taken from people who had been sent to medical diagnostic labs for PRL assessment. The ELISA test was developed to detect anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies in blood serum. Results: The overall number of participants was 140 (70 percent) women and 60 (30 percent) males. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were found in 46 (32.86 percent) of 140 female serum samples and 24 (40 percent) of male serum samples. In total, 102 (51%) of 200 blood samples were determined to be in the normal range of PRL, whereas 10 (5%) and 88 (44%) were considered to be in the hypoprolactinemia and hyperprolactinemia, respectively. In this research, the total anti-Toxoplasma IgG prevalence was 35%. Toxoplasmosis seroprevalence in women was 32.86 percent, while it reached 40 percent in males. Conclusion: The present study's findings corroborated earlier research based on PRL's immunoregulatory function, indicating that high levels of PRL may be associated with T. gondii sero-negative women.
