Therefore, 314 children with lymphoma and 314 healthy children, age- and gender-matched, were recruited to estimate the seroprevalence of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> in the participants and identify the risk factors of infection. Blood samples from all participants were collected and examined for <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> IgG and IgM antibodies using ELISA. The results showed that the overall seroprevalence of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> antibodies (including IgG and\/or IgM) in ML patients and healthy controls was 19.8% and 9.9%, respectively. Contact with the cats, consumption of oysters and history of chemotherapy were estimated to be the risk factors for <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection in children with lymphoma by multivariable logistic regression analysis, whereas in healthy children, contact with cats and consumption of oysters were the risk factors. Moreover, among various histological types of lymphoma, individuals with NK\/T-cell lymphoma, B-small lymphocytic lymphoma, marginal zone B-lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma had a higher seroprevalence than healthy controls (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). These findings indicated the high prevalence of <jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic> infection in children with lymphoma, and hence, efforts should be performed to evaluate the effect of the infection further in lymphoma patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268819001869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,26]],"date-time":"2019-11-26T03:56:31Z","timestamp":1574740591000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["<i>Toxoplasma
