摘要

简介:大多数人类感染弓形虫不会产生任何症状,但在先天性感染的儿童中,可造成毁灭性的影响,包括失明、脑损伤或流产。向胎儿的传播主要发生在妊娠期间获得初次感染的妇女中。该研究旨在评估厄立特里亚阿斯马拉不同地区接受产前护理(ANC)的孕妇中弓形虫病的血清患病率,并确定在ANC中心接受产前护理的孕妇中与弓形虫病相关的可能危险因素。方法:在这个横断面实验室研究中,收集了来自四个卫生机构的210名孕妇的数据。采用自愿抽样技术和结构化问卷收集相关数据和社会人口统计信息。采用Cobas e411分析仪检测血清免疫球蛋白G (IgG)和免疫球蛋白M (IgM)抗体。数据录入采用Epi-Info 7.0版本,数据分析采用SPSS 20.0版本。结果:210份样本中,弓形虫特异性IgG抗体阳性112份(53.6%),阴性97份(46.4%)。弓形虫特异性IgM抗体阳性率为2.9%(6例),阴性率为97.1%(203例)。结论:血清IgG抗体和IgM抗体阳性率较高,分别为53.6%和2.9%,应引起重视,加强预防控制、筛查检测和健康教育。

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasmosis Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care in Asmara, Eritrea: Preliminary Report
Introduction: The majority of human infections with Toxoplasmagondii produce no symptoms, but in congenitally infected children can cause devastating effects including blindness, brain damage, or miscarriage. Transmission to the fetus occurs predominantly in women who acquire their primary infection during gestation. The study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in different areas of Asmara, Eritrea, and to identify possible risk factors associated with toxoplasmosis among pregnant women attending the ANC centers. Methods: In this cross-sectional laboratory-based study, the data were collected from 210 pregnant women in four health facilities. Voluntary sampling technique and a structured questionnaire were used to collect the associated data and socio-demographic information. Cobas e411 Analyzer was used to test the blood serum for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies. Epi-Info version 7.0 was used for data entry and SPSS version 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the 210 samples, 112 (53.6%) samples were seropositive and 97 (46.4%) samples were seronegative for T. gondii specific IgG antibody. Furthermore, 2.9% (6) of the samples were seropositive and 97.1% (203) of the samples were seronegative for T. gondii-specific IgM antibodies. Conclusion: The seroprevalence was considerably high, 53.6% for IgG antibody and 2.9% for IgM antibody, which require attention in order to implement preventive control measures, screening tests, and health education.
