Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence and risk factors in pregnant women.Methods: A total of 196 patients, admitted to the clinic in the first trimester and with ongoing pregnancy follow-up of between May 2012 and January 2013, were included in the study. Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies were detected by ELISA test in blood samples obtained from patients during routine screening. SPSS statistical software, version 19.0 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Chi-square test was used for categorical variables. p-value for statistical significance was defined as p0.05).Conclusion: We found that Toxoplasma IgG antibody seropositivity (28.8%) was similar to that found in the other studies from western Turkey.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızda, hastanemize başvuran gebe kadınlarda Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalansını saptamayı ve risk faktörlerini incelemeyi amaçladık.Yöntemler: Mayıs 2012-Ocak 2013 tarihleri arasında polikliniğe başvuran ve rutin gebelik takibine alınan 196 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Gebelere risk faktörlerini incelemek için anket uyguladı ve rutin tarama için kan örnekleri alındı. Analiz için ELISA ile değerlendirilen serum anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG ve IgM antikor sonuçları kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 19,0 istatistik paket programı kullanıldı. Tanımlayıcı verilerin sunumunda yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, kategorik değişkenlerin analizinde ki-kare testi kullanıldı. İstatistiksel olarak p0,05).Sonuç: Çalışmamızda Toxoplasma IgG antikor seropozitifliğinin (%28,8), Türkiye'nin batısında yapılan çalışma sonuçları ile benzer olduğunu bulduk.
