Out of 102 BOH pregnant women with single miscarriage, 43 (42.2%) and 2 (4.9%) were seropositive for anti T. gondii IgG and IgM, respectively, 89 (87.3%) and 17 (16.7) were seropositive for anti CMV IgG and IgM, respectively, 63 (61.8%) and 3 (2.9%) were seropositive for anti Rubella IgG and IgM, respectively and 63(61.8%) and 14(13.7) were seropositive for HSV-2 IgG and IgM, respectively. Regarding women with twice miscarriage, 1 (2.0%), 14 (28.0%) were seropositive for T. gondii anti IgG and IgM, respectively, 16 (8.0%), 43 (86.0%) were seropositive for CMV anti IgG and IgM, 29(58.0%), respectively. The IgG of anti Rubella was recorded in 29 (58.0%) no any case for anti IgM. and 29 (58%) and 3 (6.0%) were positive for HSV-2 anti IgG and IgM, respectively. The number of cases with triple miscarriages, 8 (11.1%) were seropositive for anti T. gondii IgG antibodies, while no any case was found against IgM antibodies. Only, 3 (4.2%), 22 (30.6%) were seropositive for anti CMV IgG and IgM respectively. The seropositivity of anti Rubella, anti HSV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in group with triple miscarriages were recorded in 12 (16.7%), 10 (13.9%), 0 (0.0%) and 3 (4.2%) respectively. The number of cases with four and more miscarriages, all (100%) were seropositive for CMV anti IgG and IgM, and one (20%) for T. gondii anti IgG and IgM, while 2 (40%) and 4 (80%),were seropositive for anti Rubella and anti HSV-2 IgG, respectively.
