چکیده

مقدمه: توکسوپلاسموز به وسیله‌ی یک تک یاخته‌ای درون سلولی به نام Toxoplasma gondii ایجاد می‌شود. در خانم‌های باردار آلوده، انتقال انگل به جنین سبب وقوع عوارض شدیدی می‌شود. هدف از این مطالعه، تعیین میزان شیوع توکسوپلاسموز و عوامل خطرزا در خانم‌ها در سنین باروری در تهران بود تا اطلاعات لازم جهت پیشگیری به مسؤولین بهداشت و درمان ارائه گردد.روش‌ها: در این مطالعه که به صورت مقطعی در سال 1392انجام شد، از تعداد 300 خانم 40-18 ساله، پس از کسب رضایت و تکمیل فرم پرسشنامه، نمونه‌ی خون گرفته شد. سطح آنتی‌بادی‌های IgG (Immunoglobulin G) و IgM ضد Toxoplasma gondii با روش ELISA بررسی شد و عوامل خطر‌ساز ذکرشده در پرسشنامه ثبت شد.یافته‌‌ها: شیوع آنتی‌بادی‌های مثبت IgG و IgM ضد Toxoplasma gondii در جمعیت هدف به ترتیب، 85 نفر (3/28 درصد) و 4 نفر (3/1 درصد) بود. موارد مثبت هر دو کلاس IgG و IgM، 3 نفر (1 درصد) بود. آزمون  2χ بین مثبت بودن توکسوپلاسموز و عواملی مانند شغل، میزان تحصیلات، مصرف سبزیجات خام، مصرف گوشت کباب‌شده و نگهداری گربه در خانه ارتباط معنی‌دار آماری نشان نداد. آزمون Mann-Whitney بین سن و میزان شیوع توکسوپلاسموز ارتباط معنی‌داری نشان داد (05/0 > P).نتیجه‌گیری: 3 /70 در صد از جمعیت هدف از نظر آلودگی به توکسوپلاسموز منفی بودند. بنابراین در دوران قبل از بارداری آموزش بهداشت و زیر نظر پزشک متخصص بودن از اهمیت زیادی برخوردار است.

چکیده [English]

Background: Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii. In pregnant women with toxoplasmosis, the parasite can be transmitted to the fetus, causing severe complications. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of toxoplasmosis in women of reproductive age in Tehran, Iran, to provide detailed information for health authorities regarding the prevention and control of the disease.Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2013, completion of the questionnaires was done and blood samples were collected from 300 women of 18-40 years of age. Levels of IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test and the risk factors cited in questionnaires were also analyzed.Findings: Among 300 studied sera, 85 (28.3%) cases were positive for IgG, 4 (1.3%) for IgM and 3 (1%) for both classes. There were no significant relationship between toxoplasmosis and factors such as employment, education, eating raw meat and vegetables and contact with cats (chi-square test); but there was a significant relationship between toxoplasmosis and age (Mann-Whitney test, P = 0.04).Conclusion: 70.4 percent of selected women in the study were seronegative. It is necessary to avoid the risk factors during and before the pregnancy for women via health education.
