Between December 1999 and December 2004, 40 081 pregnant women were examined for toxoplasmosis with Toxo-IgG, Toxo-IgM enzyme immunoassay. Women with positive results were then retested with the Toxo-IgG avidity assay for recent toxoplasmosis. Recent acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women was found to be significantly more frequent (p < 0.01) during winter than summer. The incidence of acute toxoplasmosis during winter-spring was also significantly more frequent (p < 0.025) than summer-autumn. This phenomenon should be taken into account when formulating preventive measures for toxoplasmosis, especially for pregnant women.
1999年12月至2004年12月期间,采用弓形虫IgG、IgM酶免疫测定法对40081名孕妇进行了弓形虫病检查。检测结果呈阳性的女性随后接受了弓形虫IgG亲和力检测,以确定是否近期感染弓形虫病。结果发现,孕妇近期急性弓形虫病的发病率在冬季显著高于夏季(p < 0.01)。冬春季节急性弓形虫病的发病率也显著高于夏秋季节(p < 0.025)。在制定弓形虫病预防措施时,尤其是针对孕妇的预防措施时,应考虑到这一现象。
