    Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between toxoplasmosis and cryptogenic epilepsy (CE) by comparing the rate of Toxoplasma gondii seropositivity identified in CE patients with those without any neurological disorder.

T. gondii seropositivity was studied in individuals Results: The study found T. gondii IgG in 15.50% of CE patients and 28.66% of individuals without any neurological disorder.
