Abstract

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an oblige intracellular protozoan parasite leading to toxoplasmosis in animals and humans. Principal maternal infection with toxoplasmosis throughout pregnancy is frequently associated with vertical transmission to the fetus. However it is not convinced whether Toxoplasma infection can cause frequent abortion. Justification: There is no formerly published data about the occurrence of toxoplasmosis between aborted women in Atbara district. Objectives: To recognize the Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among aborted women in Atbara district Method: Cross sectional, descriptive study, 152 aborted women from Atbara district were examined for anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, three diagnostic techniques were used (latex agglutination, ICT and ELISA). Result: Generally the Seroprevalence rate of Toxoplasma parasite between aborted women according to the techniques used; 33.6 % by latex agglutination, 22.4 % by ICT and 35.5 % by ELISA method. Conclusion: The study conclude that there was high prevalence of toxoplasmosis among the participants and indicated that ELISA is the best serological method for detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection.

苏丹阿特巴拉地区流产妇女血清弓形虫病患病率

背景:刚地弓形虫是一种导致动物和人类弓形虫病的胞内原生动物寄生虫。妊娠期间母体主要感染弓形虫病通常与垂直传播给胎儿有关。然而，弓形虫感染是否会导致频繁流产尚不确定。理由:以前没有关于阿特巴拉地区流产妇女间弓形虫病发生的公开数据。目的:了解阿特巴拉地区流产妇女血清弓形虫病的流行情况。方法:采用横断面描述性研究方法，对阿特巴拉地区152例流产妇女进行了弓形虫抗体检测，采用3种诊断技术(胶乳凝集、ICT和ELISA)。结果:流产妇女弓形虫血清阳性率与所采用的技术大体相同;胶乳凝集法33.6%，ICT法22.4%，ELISA法35.5%。结论:研究对象弓形虫病患病率较高，ELISA是检测弓形虫感染的最佳血清学方法。

期刊介绍： For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
