Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. This study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with toxoplasmosis among pregnant women.
We followed an analytical observational study. From July 2016 to June 2017, 218 pregnant women were selected. The infection was detected through serological dosage of anti-T.gondii Immunoglobulin(Ig) M and IgG antibodies.
The seroprevalence was 35.8%; the factors associated with infection were consumption of non-drinking water, residence in an urban area, and threatened abortion during the current pregnancy.
The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among pregnant women is high. The risk factors are dependent on environmental determinants.
弓形虫病是由刚地弓形虫引起的一种人畜共患病。本研究调查了孕妇中弓形虫病的流行情况和相关因素。
我们进行了一项分析性观察研究。2016 年 7 月至 2017 年 6 月期间,选择了 218 名孕妇。通过检测抗弓形虫免疫球蛋白(Ig)M 和 IgG 抗体的血清定量来检测感染情况。
血清阳性率为 35.8%;感染相关因素为饮用非饮用水、居住在城区以及本次妊娠时先兆流产。
孕妇弓形虫病的血清阳性率较高。危险因素取决于环境决定因素。
