BACKGROUND
Brazil has a high prevalence of toxoplasmosis. However, there is a gap in comparing seroprevalence for across different environments, particularly among pregnant residents of rural and urban areas.
METHODS
The prevalence of IgG and IgM for was compared among pregnant residents of the urban, peri-urban, and rural settlement areas in a municipality in southeastern Brazil. Information regarding age and area of residence was compiled from January 2015 to December 2022. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the age and area of residence as risk factors.
RESULTS
A total of 1614 examinations were recorded, revealing 54.0% seropositivity, which was highest in the rural settlement (61.1%), followed by the peri-urban area (55.9%), and lowest in the urban area (49.2%).
CONCLUSIONS
The high prevalence of IgG and presence of IgM in pregnant residents of rural, peri-urban, and urban areas highlights the significance of the results obtained for strengthening maternal health programs aimed at preventing toxoplasmosis, regardless of their residence.
背景
巴西弓形虫病的患病率很高。然而，在比较不同环境下的血清阳性率方面存在差距，尤其是在农村和城市地区的孕妇中。
方法
在巴西东南部一个城市的城市、城郊和农村定居点地区的孕妇中比较弓形虫IgG和IgM的患病率。从2015年1月至2022年12月收集有关年龄和居住地区的信息。采用逻辑回归分析评估年龄和居住地区作为危险因素。
结果
共记录了1614次检查，血清阳性率为54.0%，其中农村定居点最高（61.1%），其次是城郊地区（55.9%），城市地区最低（49.2%）。
结论
农村、城郊和城市地区孕妇中IgG的高患病率和IgM的存在凸显了所获结果对于加强旨在预防弓形虫病的孕产妇健康项目的重要性，无论其居住地点如何。
