Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The present investigation aims to evaluate the PREVALENCE of IgM and IgG anti-T. gondii antibodies and the associated risk factors among healthy blood donors in MASHHAD city, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran.METHODS: We screened a total of 500 serum samples by census method from apparently healthy blood donors of the MASHHAD BLOOD TRANSFUSION Organization (MBTO) for IgG and IgM anti-T. gondii antibodies by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS: We found that 29.6%, 25%, 1.4%, and 3.2% of tested donors were positive for anti-T. gondii antibodies, only IgG antibody, both IgM and IgG, and IgM antibody alone, respectively. Several risk factors which were significantly related to T. gondii seropositivity in the univariate analysis at P<0.05 included female gender (OR=3.222, P<0.001), age more than 40 years (P=0.026), and sausage/hot dog consumption (OR=4.472, P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study can be a warning for BLOOD TRANSFUSION organizations to pay special attention to TOXOPLASMOSIS among blood donors and also design screening programs for prevention of transfusion-transmitted TOXOPLASMOSIS.
