Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii among Pregnant Women in Isparta Province, Turkey

Öz

Toxoplasmosis infection is a common zoonotic disease caused by the compulsory intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Infection is generally asymptomatic. It can cause congenital anomaly when infected during pregnancy, it can also cause stillbirth, miscarriage, and preterm labor. The aim of this study is detection of Toxoplasma IgG and Toxoplasma IgM prevalence in first-trimester pregnant women. Pregnant women admitted to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of Isparta Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital between January 2013 and December 2013 have been included to this study. Results of Toxoplasma IgM and IgG were analyzed retrospectively. Serum specimens were studied by the method of macroelisa. Frequency, percentage, mean±standard deviations of data were calculated with SPSS 18.0, and the relationships between variables were evaluated by Chi-square test. In our study, 3140 serum specimens in total have been analyzed. A total of 1937 serum specimens were analyzed for Toxoplasma IgM and positivity was detected in 1.8% (n=34). For toxoplasma IgG also 1213 serum specimen were analyzed in total and the ratio of seropositive cases were detected as 28.4% (n=344). Toxoplasma gondii seropositivity has been detected at a considerable level in the region where we did our study. Pregnant women and mothers who consider planned pregnancy should be evaluated for Toxoplasmosis. Serology in pregnancy should be tested, and acute infection should be diagnosed and treated. Seronegative pregnant women should be controlled periodically and appropriate treatment should be given in congenital toxoplasmosis.
