Objective: Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection spread worldwide caused by Toxoplasma gondii. The evolution of the disease in immunocompetent individuals is benign, however, pregnant women and immunocompromised require special attention with regard to the early diagnosis of the infection. These factors are higher for the risk of congenital of transmission and of serious manifestations, such as the cerebral toxoplasmosis. The objective of this study was to trace the serological profiles for toxoplasmosis of patients seen in a laboratory of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil in the year 2013. Methods: This is a population study, epidemiological and cross-sectional conducted after approval of the Ethics Committee of the Faculdade União de Goyazes. We performed a retrospective analysis of data of 1476 patient charts with serological tests for the detection of IgG and IgM anti-T. gondii. The verified data were analyzed with the BioEstat program 5.3. Results: The analysis of serological profiles showed that 476 (32.2%) records have presented for immunity for T. gondii, 986 (66.8%) for susceptibility to the pathogen, and 14 (1%), suggesting phase of acute or recent infection. The percentage values of serological profi les for toxoplasmosis found in the study population showed an increased susceptibil ity to infection when compared with others study. Conclusion: Thus, it is important serological monitoring, especially pregnant women, so that in case of exposure to the parasite, vertical transmission is avoided, a situation which is related abortion or clinical manifestations in children with severe evolution after birth.
