“…Consequently, we attempted to determine the rate of T. gondii seropositivity and the seroprevalence association with the sociodemographic, clinical, behavioral, and housing characteristics in people with alcohol consumption in Durango, Mexico. The 11.2% seroprevalence of T. gondii infection found in this study is higher than the 6.1% seroprevalence of this infection reported in the general population of Durango City, Mexico [20], but is lower than the 23.8% T. gondii seroprevalence reported in the general population in rural communities in Durango State, Mexico [22]. It is unclear why alcohol consumers had a different seroprevalence of T. gondii infection from those in the general population in urban and rural Durango.…”

“…The inclusion criteria for enrollment of participants in the survey were: alcohol consumers, aged 15 years and older, and willing to participate in the study. "Alcohol consumption" is defined as the act of ingesting -typically orally-a beverage containing ethanol [20]. We used this criterium for enrollment of participants; however, we further considered quantity and frequency of alcohol drinking.…”

The seroepidemiology of infection with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in alcohol consumers is largely undeveloped. In light of this, we sought to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in alcohol consumers in Durango, Mexico, and the association of T. gondii seroprevalence with characteristics of the population studied. Anti-T. gondii IgG and IgM antibodies were searched in sera of participants using commercially available enzyme immunoassays. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were then used to determine the association between T. gondii infection and the characteristics of the population studied. Of the 1544 people studied (mean age: 39.4±14.0 years), 173 (11.2%) tested positive for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies. We were able to test 167 of the 173 anti-T. gondii IgG positive sera for anti-T. gondii IgM antibodies. Fifty-five (32.9%) of these 167 serum samples were positive for anti-T. gondii IgM antibodies. Bivariate analysis showed that visual impairment, history of surgery, and hepatitis were negatively associated with T. gondii IgG seropositivity (P<0.05). In women, seropositivity to T. gondii was positively associated with a history of pregnancy (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that T. gondii seropositivity was associated with the variables consumption of armadillo meat (OR = 2.33; 95% CI: 1.04–5.22; P = 0.03), and the use of latrines for elimination of excretes (OR = 2.27; 95% CI: 1.07–4.80; P = 0.03); and high (>150 IU/ml) anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies were associated with consumption of both armadillo meat (OR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.01–5.02; P = 0.04) and crowding at home (OR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.02–2.61; P = 0.03). We found a distinct T. gondii seroprevalence in people with alcohol consumption from those previously found in population groups in the region. This is the first study that illustrates the association between high anti-T. gondii antibodies and crowding in Mexico, and the second study on the association between T. gondii infection and consumption of armadillo meat and the use of latrines in this country. We conclude that epidemiology of T. gondii infection in people with alcohol consumption deserves further investigation.

Background and Objective:The goal of the World Health Organization (WHO) on alcohol public health is to reduce the health burden of harmful alcohol use and thus save lives, reduce sickness and avoid injury. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate C-reactive protein and methaemoglobin of alcoholic residents in Bayelsa State which will aid us in forming a diagnostic tool for the diseases associated with alcohol consumption with good management outcomes. Materials and Methods: The study included 200 participants; comprising males and females within the age bracket of 15-65 years. A well-structured pre-tested questionnaire was administered to obtain information used to categorize participants into groups; Group 1(non-alcohol consumers (<1 drink monthly), Group 2 (occasional alcohol consumers (1-3 drinks/month), Group 3 (moderate alcohol consumers (1-5 drinks/week) and Group 4 (heavy alcohol consumers (>2 drinks/day). Results: The C-reactive protein showed a J-shaped pattern; was significantly higher in the control group (2.34±0.54 mg/dL) and lower in Group 3 (2.02±0.16 mg/dL) while methaemoglobin which was significantly higher when control (20.68±1.24) was compared to Group 4 (48.48±7.34) and Group 3 (28.96±3.82) but significantly lower when compared to Group 2 (9.45±2.03). Conclusion:The study concluded that chronic alcohol consumption could be a potential inflammation suppressant and can cause severe hypoxia.
