Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, prenatal care services were disrupted. We analyzed the trajectory slopes of cases of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) and acute toxoplasmosis during pregnancy from 2019 to 2022 (to reflect the cases during the pandemic years 2020-2022) vs. 2000 to 2019, using data from the Remington Laboratory, the National Reference Center for Toxoplasmosis in the US. During the pandemic, there was a statistically significant upward trajectory in the yearly number of CT cases. Monitoring of this trend is needed.

美国 COVID-19 大流行期间先天性弓形虫病的增加。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，产前护理服务中断。我们利用美国国家弓形虫参考中心雷明顿实验室（Remington Laboratory）的数据，分析了 2019 年至 2022 年（反映 2020 年至 2022 年大流行期间的病例）与 2000 年至 2019 年孕期先天性弓形虫病（CT）和急性弓形虫病病例的轨迹斜率。在大流行期间，CT 病例的年增长率在统计学上呈显著上升趋势。需要对这一趋势进行监测。
