    Association of risk factors with the presence of IgG antibodies ANTI-Toxoplasma gondii in students with eye problems at the University of Santander-Cúcuta. Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most common parasitic infections in humans and other warm-blooded animals. It has been found throughout the world and almost a third of humanity has been exposed to this parasite and in most adults, it does not cause serious diseases, but it can cause some adverse effects in children with congenital infection and devastating diseases in immunocompromised individuals ; hence the importance of conducting this study in which we sought to determine the risk factors that are associated with the presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies in individuals with eye problems at the University of Santander, Cúcuta; this research intends, in addition to contributing objective results, to make an initial diagnosis that can serve as a starting point for other deeper research works, which manage to consider a greater quantity of both qualitative and quantitative variables. An instrument previously validated by an expert was applied to 120 students from the University of Santander, Cúcuta. After that, samples of peripheral blood were taken to each of them, which was centrifuged for the extraction of the serum, which was stored at -20 ° C for further processing. The ELISA was carried out in order to determine the presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies in the samples taken from the target population. In the tests carried out, a percentage of prevalence of infection by T. gondii of 18.3% was determined. On the other hand, with respect to the results obtained through the survey, the existence of a significant association between seropositivity and three risk factors studied was demonstrated, such as the socioeconomic stratum, the habit of fruit consumption and the frequency of food consumption for sale on public roads.
