Effective primary prevention of congenital toxoplasmosis requires up to date information on locally relevant risk factors for infection in pregnant women. In Naples, risk factors for toxoplasma infection were compared in recently infected women (as assessed by detection of specific IgM in serum) and susceptible, IgG negative women. Recent infection was strongly associated with frequency of consumption of cured pork and raw meat. Eating cured pork or raw meat at least once a month increased the risk of toxoplasma infection threefold. This simple study design for determining locally relevant sources of toxoplasma infection is the first report of cured pork as a risk factor for infection. Further research is required to determine cyst viability in cured pork products. Our findings suggest that in southern Italy, cured pork and raw meat should be avoided by susceptible pregnant women.
先天性弓形虫病的有效一级预防需要掌握有关孕妇当地相关感染风险因素的最新信息。在那不勒斯，对近期感染的女性（通过检测血清中的特异性IgM评估）和易感的IgG阴性女性的弓形虫感染风险因素进行了比较。近期感染与腌制猪肉和生肉的食用频率密切相关。每月至少食用一次腌制猪肉或生肉会使弓形虫感染风险增加两倍。这种用于确定当地相关弓形虫感染源的简单研究设计是将腌制猪肉作为感染风险因素的首次报告。需要进一步研究以确定腌制猪肉制品中包囊的活力。我们的研究结果表明，在意大利南部，易感孕妇应避免食用腌制猪肉和生肉。
