Comparação dos Métodos para Diagnóstico da Toxoplasmose Congênita

Abstract: Objetivo: avaliar a eficácia da reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) no líquido amniótico para a detecção da contaminação fetal pelo Toxoplasma gondii em gestantes com infecção aguda e correlacionar com a técnica de inoculação e a histologia da placenta. Métodos: trinta e sete pacientes foram estudadas prospectivamente e o diagnóstico foi baseado na identificação da infecção aguda materna, seguido pela amniocentese guiada pela ultrasonografia para obtenção de líquido amniótico para a realização de PCR e inocul… Show more

“…The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in the fetus was based on direct identification of the parasite by inoculation of amniotic liquid and/or fetal blood in mice, as well as cell culture, the sensitivity rate ranged from 64 to 73 percent and the specificity was 100 percent, however, it takes considerable time to obtain a result [42].…”

“…On the other hand, a study by Castro et al [42], conducted at the Fetal Medicine Center of the University Hospital of Minas Gerais Federal University (HU-UFMG) from January 1997 to March 1999, evaluated the efficiency of PCR for studies of amniotic liquid. They used a B1-gene primer for the detection of fetal infection by T. gondii in 37 pregnant women with acute infection; they also used inoculation in mice and they examined placenta histology.…”
