    <abstract language="eng">Circulating immune complexes(CICs) play an important role in many diseases in human. They can cause damage to kidney , joints, skin, and CNS through complement activation with or without local deposition.They can also modulate humoral and cellular immune response through binding to surface receptors of lymphocytes &amp;phagocytes.CICs like activity has been reported in sera from patients with variety of infectious diseases caused by viral, bacterial, protozoal&amp; helminthes. Total 25 patients with different problems of kidney and abortion history (14male&amp;11female) and 25control groups(13 male&amp;12 female).The CICs  was detected by platelets aggregation test (Pl.A.test) and polymorphonuclus (PMN)  were counted automatically. Polymorphonuclear cells  depleted in number in patients with Toxoplasmosis 63.9 percentage and 77.4% percentage in control group ,there is no relationship between  age and % of PMNs (P&gt;0.001) in patients and control group ,13% of patients had CICs detected by PL.A. test and 4% of control group had CICs , There were no of patients had IgM of <em>T.gondii</em> and 8(32%)of them had IgG of <em>T.gondii </em>and 3(12%) of  control group with IgM of <em>T.gondii</em> and 8% of them with IgG of <em>T.gondii</em>. PMN play an important role in the defense against toxoplasmosis and the clearance of CICs from circulation. Most of CICs formed in the circulation contained IgG of <em>T.gondii</em>, since most patients group of the present study did not have IgM of <em>T.gondii</em> but those with  IgG of <em>T.gondii </em>containing IC and the number of PMNs was decreased in large number after <em>T.gondii</em> invasion.</abstract>
