Abstract

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan, capable of infecting a wide range of warm-blooded hosts, including humans. Infection withT. gondii can be life threatening in immunocompromised people. Moreover, infection with T. gondiiduring pregnancy can lead to severe problems for fetus.Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the seroepidemiological status of TOXOPLASMOSIS in pregnant women in Urmia, IRAN.Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 156 serum samples were selected randomly from pregnant females and their anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies were screened using routine commercial ELISA kits. The probable risk factors related to TOXOPLASMOSIS were asked and collected in pregnant women of Urmia.Results: Of the 156 sera, 44 were positive for T. gondii IgG antibodies and 112 were negative. The mean age of women was 19.68 and the rate of IgM-positive cases forT. gondii infection was 2.6%.Conclusions: According to our study, Toxoplasma regular screening program in pregnant women is strongly recommended, since a considerable number of pregnantwomenin our area are susceptible to infection with acuteT. gondii over the course of pregnancy.
