To determine the seroprevalence rates of IgG to common TORCH agents in pregnant Saudi women using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
A total of 926 samples of sera were tested for antibodies to TORCH agents known to cause serious congenital infections: Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2), varicella zoster virus (VZV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 and HIV-2).
Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were detected in 35.6%, CMV total IgG antibodies were found in 92.1%, rubella IgG antibodies in 93.3%, HSV-1 IgG antibodies in 90.9%, HSV-2 IgG in 27.1%, and VZV IgG antibodies in 74.4%. A 0% seroprevalence rate for HIV-1 and -2 was found.
Pregnant Saudi women commonly have IgG antibodies to rubella, CMV, HSV-1 and -2, VZV, and T. gondii. Serological evidence of HIV infection was not observed.
采用间接酶联免疫吸附测定法确定沙特孕妇中针对常见TORCH病原体的IgG血清阳性率。
共检测了926份血清样本,以检测针对已知会导致严重先天性感染的TORCH病原体的抗体:弓形虫、风疹、巨细胞病毒(CMV)、单纯疱疹病毒(HSV-1和HSV-2)、水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1和HIV-2)。
检测到弓形虫IgG抗体的比例为35.6%,CMV总IgG抗体为92.1%,风疹IgG抗体为93.3%,HSV-1 IgG抗体为90.9%,HSV-2 IgG为27.1%,VZV IgG抗体为74.4%。HIV-1和-2的血清阳性率为0%。
沙特孕妇普遍存在针对风疹、CMV、HSV-1和-2、VZV及弓形虫的IgG抗体。未观察到HIV感染的血清学证据。
