We determined the prevalence of Toxoplasma antibodies in 576 primigravid women randomly selected from health houses in Hamadan. The relationship between positivity and some risk factors was assessed. Data were collected by questionnaire and blood samples examined for Toxoplasma antibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test. Of the 576 women, 193 (33.5%) were positive for Toxoplasma antibodies (titre > or = 1:20). Age, consumption of fresh undercooked meat and frequent consumption of raw vegetables were statistically significantly associated with higher infection rates. Educational level, touching cats, handling raw meat, farming, method of washing vegetables and consumption of raw milk and eggs were not associated with infection.
我们测定了从哈马丹各健康中心随机选取的576名初产妇弓形虫抗体的流行情况。评估了阳性与一些风险因素之间的关系。通过问卷调查收集数据，并采用间接荧光抗体试验检测血样中的弓形虫抗体。在这576名女性中，193人（33.5%）弓形虫抗体呈阳性（滴度≥1:20）。年龄、食用未煮熟的新鲜肉类以及经常食用生蔬菜与较高的感染率在统计学上显著相关。教育程度、接触猫、处理生肉、务农、蔬菜清洗方式以及食用生牛奶和鸡蛋与感染无关。
