Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: In this study, we purposed to investigate seroprevalences of Toxoplasma gondii, rubella and cytomegalovirus for three different age groups and compare these results to other studies determined in our country and in literature. Methods: We determined retrospectively seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii, rubella and cytomegalovirus among all of 16-49 aged pregnant women admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and December 2013. Results: Seropositivity rates of IgM and IgG for toxoplasma, rubella and cytomegalovirus were found as 2,26% and 17.5%, 93,2% and 0,2%, also 99,3% and 3,2%, respectively. While seropositivite of IgG for Toxoplasma was detected to correlate with increasing patient age positively, seropositivity of IgM for Toxoplasma was negatively. Seropositivities of IgM and IgG for rubella decreased with increasing patient age were found. The seropositive rates of cytomegalovirus in age of 36-49 patients group were detected the lowest rate. Conclusion: We think that while screening of three infections were decided or not, current seropositive rates investigated screening in that places should know acoording to ages and need to assessment of socioeconomic status and meal practices. We recommend screening for these infections because of Toxoplasma and Cytomegalovirus infections are seen often in our region more that other region in our country. Key words: Seroprevalance, Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus
