Identification of seropositive cases of Chagas disease in pregnant women in a non-endemic risk area of the state of Mexico: The importance of screening prenatal
Objective
Our study aimed to identify seropositive cases of Trypanosoma cruzi in pregnant women from the northeastern region of the State of Mexico and underscore the importance of screening for this disease in prenatal care.
Methods
We analyzed 879 serum samples from pregnant women in this non-endemic area for antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi.
Results
We found a seroprevalence of 0.34 % to Trypanosoma cruzi in pregnant women aged 20 to 29.
Conclusions
The confirmation of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies in 3 pregnant women in this non-endemic area further highlights the need to incorporate the diagnosis of this disease as part of prenatal care.
期刊介绍:
Parasite Epidemiology and Control is an Open Access journal. There is an increasing amount of research in the parasitology area that analyses the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. This epidemiology of parasite infectious diseases is predominantly studied in human populations but also spans other major hosts of parasitic infections and as such this journal will have a broad remit. We will focus on the major areas of epidemiological study including disease etiology, disease surveillance, drug resistance and geographical spread and screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects in clinical trials for both human and other animals. We will also look at the epidemiology and control of vector insects. The journal will also cover the use of geographic information systems (Epi-GIS) for epidemiological surveillance which is a rapidly growing area of research in infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological approaches are also particularly encouraged.
