The aim of the present study was to verify the association between seropositivity for IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies and social, economic and environmental variables of pregnant women attending the public health centers of Paraná, Brazil. From January 2007 to July 2010, 2226 pregnant women were interviewed and detection of anti-T. gondii specific IgG and IgM antibodies was performed by chemiluminescence test. Seropositivity for anti-T. gondii IgG was observed in 1151 (51.7%) pregnant women, 29 of which (1.3%) presented IgM reagent with IgG of high avidity. The variables associated with the presence of IgG were residency in the rural area, more than one pregnancy, less than or equal to eight years schooling, low per capita income, age group, raw or poorly cooked meat ingestion, and contact with the soil. There was neither association with raw fruit and vegetable ingestion nor with the presence of cats in the residencies.
本研究旨在验证巴西帕拉纳州公立卫生中心就诊的孕妇血清抗弓形虫 IgG 抗体阳性与社会、经济和环境变量之间的关联。2007 年 1 月至 2010 年 7 月，对 2226 名孕妇进行了访谈，并通过化学发光试验检测抗弓形虫特异性 IgG 和 IgM 抗体。在 1151 名（51.7%）孕妇中观察到抗弓形虫 IgG 阳性，其中 29 名（1.3%）IgM 试剂与 IgG 高亲和力。与 IgG 存在相关的变量包括居住在农村地区、多次妊娠、受教育程度低于或等于 8 年、人均收入低、年龄组、生食或不熟的肉类摄入以及与土壤接触。与生食水果和蔬菜摄入以及居住地有猫无关。
