Abstract

Objective: This study evaluated the Toxoplasma seroprevalence rates of pregnant women among Syrian refugees and local residents and examined the effect of large-scale migrations of communities on Toxoplasma seroprevalence. Methods: A total of 29,424 pregnant women (age range: 15-45 years) who presented to Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl City Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic between January 2012 and January 2021 for routine follow-up during the first trimester of pregnancy were retrospectively examined and included in the study. Anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG values of the pregnant women were divided into two groups: Local residents and refugees. Each group was divided into three age subgroups: 5-25 years, 25-35 years, and 35-45 years. Results of the refugees and local residents were compared in general terms and based on age groups. Results: The seropositivity rate for Toxoplasma IgM was higher in refugees than in local residents (2.7% vs. 1.6%; p=

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Suriyeli mülteci ve Türk yerleşik gebe kadınlarda Toxoplasma seroprevalansının karşılaştırılması ve büyük çaplı göçlerin bu hastalığın sıklığı üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Ocak 2012-Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl Şehir Hastanesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Polikliniği’ne gebeliğin ilk trimesterinde rutin kontrol için başvuran 15-45 yaş arası toplam 29.424 gebeye ait veriler retrospektif olarak sistemden taranarak çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma grubundaki gebelerin anti-toxoplasma gondii IgM ve IgG değerleri, yerleşik halk ve mülteciler olarak iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Her grup 5-25 yaş, 25-35 yaş ve 35-45 yaş olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrılıp, mülteciler ile yerleşik halkın sonuçları hem genel olarak hem de yaş grupları açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Mültecilerde toksoplazma IgM seropozitifliğinin yerleşik halktan yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (%2,7 vs %1,6; p=
