Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence of acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant patients who are monitored in our hospital and to provide insight into screening and management options by assessing maternal and fetal outcomes.
Methods: Pregnants between the ages of 18-49, who were followed up in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic/Clinic and Infectious Diseases Polyclinic/Clinic of a Training and Research Hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021, were included in this study. T. gondii IgM, IgG and avidity tests which were performed for pregnant women were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: The study consisted of 7480 pregnants. Three hundred eighty-six (%5.16) of the pregnant women tested positive. Anti-T. gondii IgM seropositivity was found to be most common in the 18-28 age group (7.82%), and this frequency gradually decreased as age progressed. Two of the 122 patients whose polymerase chain reaction for T. gondii was examined from amniotic fluid at the outer center had congenital toxoplasmosis, and these pregnancies were terminated.
Conclusions: Pregnant women continue to have a considerable risk of developing acute toxoplasmosis. For this infestation, which still remains on the agenda as a public health problem, every individual who is planning a pregnancy and has not had a serological test before should be screened before pregnancy. Pregnant women should continue to be informed and educated about this parasite, in our opinion.

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı hastanemizde takip edilen gebe hastalarda akut toksoplazmoz prevalansını belirlemek, anne ve fetus sonuçlarını değerlendirerek tarama ve yönetim seçeneklerine ışık tutmaktır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 1 Ocak 2010 ile 31 Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında bir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Polikliniği/Kliniği ve Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Polikliniği/Kliniğinde takip edilen 18-49 yaş arası gebeler dahil edildi. Gebelere yapılan T. gondii IgM, IgG ve avidite testleri geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışma 7480 gebe içermektedir. Gebelerin 386'sının (%5,16) testi pozitif çıktı. Anti-T. gondii IgM seropozitifliğinin en sık 18-28 yaş grubunda (%7,82) görüldüğü ve yaş ilerledikçe bu sıklığın giderek azaldığı görüldü. Amniyotik sıvıdan, dış merkezde T. gondii için polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu bakılan 122 hastanın ikisinde konjenital toksoplazmoz tanısı konuldu ve bu gebelikler sonlandırıldı.
Sonuç: Gebe kadınlarda akut toksoplazmoz gelişme riski önemli ölçüde devam etmektedir. Halen bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak gündemde olan bu infestasyon için gebelik planlayan ve daha önce serolojik test yaptırmamış her bireyin gebelik öncesinde tarama yaptırması gerekmektedir. Bizce gebe kadınların bu parazit hakkında bilgilendirilmesi ve eğitilmesi devam etmelidir.
