Pesquisa de anticorpos para sífilis e toxoplasmose em recém-nascidos em hospital de Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brasil

Abstract: As infecções congênitas ainda se encontram entre as principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade no período neonatal. Nos países industrializados sua prevalência é estimada entre 0,3 e 5% dos neonatos, podendo ser acima de 10% nos países em desenvolvimento, sendo responsabilizadas por 25% dos recém--nascidos (RN) com baixo peso para a idade gestacional e 13% dos casos de retardo mental nos Estados Unidos 11 . Elas apresentam-se desde formas graves, exuberantes, até formas totalmente assintomáticas.A toxoplasmo… Show more

“…Most studies on CT refer to the incidence observed in the general population of live-birth babies, regardless of their mothers' serology status. As expected, the CT incidence in such settings is much lower than that observed in our study, [19][20][21][22] in which all mothers had been referred to our service because they were considered suspected of TP.…”

“…Os achados de infecções congênitas como sífilis e toxoplasmose, possivelmente cursam com elevações circulantes de IgM no recém-nascido sintomático, em contrapartida, nas assintomáticas que são normais (BARRETO, 2004). O fator reumatoide por ser comum e ser um fator de resultância falso-positiva em testes de imunofluorescência, sua identificação é crucial, apesar de a incidência do FT que poderia antagonizar a reação com IgM positivo, ser em torno de 0,24% (BARRETO, 1987).…”

“…Mathematical model, developed in the city of São Paulo, shows incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis from 0.8 to 1000 births, which would mean 280 new cases per year, in that city [35]. In the city of Ribeirão Preto, a study was carried out at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine (HCFMRP) USP, where they found an incidence of 1/723 live births [36]. This shows that in all of Brazil, because it [37] performed a prospective study to define the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis in Sweden, where blood samples were collected on filter paper of 40,978 newborns, which were analyzed for IgM and IgG anti-toxoplasma.…”
