Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) serology results in different age groups among cases who admitted to the Medical Serology Laboratory of a secondary level hospital in Afyon. Methods: The patients who has positive result for Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM by electrochemiluminescence method (Cobas e-170 Analyzer, Roche Diagnostics) between January and December 2013 were included the study.Results: Patients included the study were aged 1-68 years (mean age: 24±9). Of the total 1887 sera tested for T. gondii IgG and IgM, 452 were found to be positive (24%) in a period of 12 months. Seropositivity was found to be 4%, 11,1%, 20,2%, 25,3%, 33,3% and 46,6% in 1-8, 9-18, 19-23, 24-28, 29-35 and 36-68 age groups, respectively.Conclusion: Because of the high seroprevalence in our country, the knowledge about the values of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in pre-pregnancy period has an importance for evaluation and follow-up during the pregnancy. In this study, it was determined that there is a relationship between seroprevalence and age. All people should be educated about ways to minimize exposure to T. gondii

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Afyon ilinde, ikinci basamak hastanede seroloji laboratuvarına Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) araştırılmak üzere başvuran olgulara ait sonuçların değerlendirilmesi ve farklı yaş gruplarında seroprevalansın belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Ocak 2013-Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında, hastanemize başvuran ve elektrokemiluminesans yöntemi ile (Cobas e-170 Analizer, Roche marka kitlerle) T. gondii IgG ve IgM testi çalışılan hastalar T. gondii seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amacıyla çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastalar 1-68 yaş aralığındadır (yaş ortalaması 24±9). On iki aylık sürede, Toxoplasma IgG ve IgM testi çalışılan toplam 1887 hastanın 452'sinde (%24) pozitiflik saptanmıştır. Olgular; 1-8, 9-18, 19-23, 24-28, 29-35 ve 36-68 olarak yaşlarına göre gruplandırılmıştır. Bu gruplara ait pozitiflik oranları sırasıyla; %4, %11,1, %20,2, %25,3, %33,3 ve %46,6 olarak saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Ülkemiz gibi yüksek seroprevalans gözlenen ülkelerde, gebelik öncesi dönemdeki antikorların bilinmesi, gebelik sırasındaki değerlendirme ve takip için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada seroprevalansın yaş ile ilişkili arttığı saptanmıştır. Tüm topluma T. gondii ve korunma yolları ile ilgili eğitimler verilmelidir
