Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was the evaluation of serology results in Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Training and Research Hospital Microbiology Laboratory between 2012 and 2013 among cases from different divisions for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies, retrospectively. Methods: Anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies were detected by a commercial kit in serum samples. The age and gender of cases, the division where the samples were sent and the changes in the seropositivity between years were evaluated statistically by chi-square test.Results: Totally 1162 cases varying from 9 mounths to 85 ages (mean 29.1±10.8) were included in the study, due to the orders from divisions anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were investigated in 747 samples and 154 (20.6%) of them were positive. Anti-Toxoplasma IgM antibodies were investigated in 1112 samples and 27 of them (2.4%) were positive. The seropositivity of anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were increased with age (p=0.001) and a significant relationship was found with anti-Toxoplasma IgM seropositivity and the division where the samples were sent (p=0.003). Conclusion: It can be concluded that as in the other parts, toxoplasmosis is an important public health concern in Muğla and it is crucial especially for women in reproductive age, the risk group for toxoplasmosis, should be informed about toxoplasmosis

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 2012-2013 yılları arasında çeşitli bölümlerden anti-Toxoplasma antikorlarının araştırılması için Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarı'na gönderilen olgulara ait seroloji sonuçlarının retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Serumlarda anti-Toxoplasma IgG ve IgM antikorları ticari bir kit kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Olguların yaş ve cinsiyetleri, örneklerin gönderildiği bölümler ve seroloji sonuçlarının iki yıl içindeki değişimi ki-kare testiyle istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Dokuz ay ile 85 yaş arasında değişen (ortalama 29,1±10,8) toplam 1162 olgunun bölümlerden yapılan istemlere bağlı olarak 747'sinde anti-Toxoplasma IgG antikorları araştırılmış olup seropozitiflik 154'ünde (%20,6) saptanmıştır. Anti-Toxoplasma IgM antikorları araştırılan 1112 serumun 27'sinde (%2,4) pozitiflik bulunmuştur. İstatistiksel olarak anti-Toxoplasma IgG seropozitifliğinin yaşla birlikte arttığı (p=0,001) ve anti-Toxoplasma IgM pozitifliği ile örneğin gönderildiği bölüm arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin bulunduğu saptanmıştır (p=0,003). Sonuç: Elde edilen veriler ışığında ülke genelinde olduğu gibi Muğla ilinde toksoplazmozisin halk sağlığı açısından önemini koruyan bir paraziter enfeksiyon olduğu ve özellikle risk grubunu oluşturan doğurganlık çağındaki kadınların hastalık konusunda bilinçlendirilmesinin önem taşıdığı düşünülmektedir
