INVESTIGAÇÃO SOROEPIDEMIOLÓGICA SOBRE A LARVA MIGRANS VISCERAL POR Toxocara canis EM USUÁRIOS DE SERVIÇOS DE SAÚDE DE GOIÂNIA – GO

Abstract: Realizou-se um estudo sobre a frequência e fatores de risco relacionados à larva migrans visceral (LMV) em 1.131 usuários de laboratórios Goiânia (GO) -um público e outro privado. Para a pesquisa de anticorpos anti-Toxocara canis, as amostras de soro foram analisadas pelo ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) utilizando-se como antígeno produtos de excreção e secreção de larvas de terceiro estádio de T. canis. Para reduzir a possibilidade de reações cruzadas com espécies do gênero Ascaris, os soros foram previamente … Show more

“…4 It is worth emphasizing that prevalence rates vary according to the region and population studied. A higher level of education has also been associated with a lower positivity rate, 23,24 and our study confirms this. Hence, this study demonstrated to work in the laboratory is not a risk factor; in addition, professional handling infective forms have more knowledge and therefore has attitudes prevention.…”

“…among professionals and students who handle infective forms of the nematode T. canis. The overall prevalence rate in the entire study population was 14.9% (11/74), which was similar to that recorded in adults in Goiania (14.7%), 23 greater than that observed in São Paulo (8.7%) 5 and less than that observed in Salvador (46.3%). 4 It is worth emphasizing that prevalence rates vary according to the region and population studied.…”

“…The seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies herein (35.8%) was higher than other vulnerable populations, such as aborigines (20.6%) and pregnant refugee and borderline migrant women (31.7%) but similar to incarcerated populations (37.6%) [13][14][15]. In Brazil, the anti-T. gondii seroprevalence herein was higher than the general population of the northeastern region, with 14/65 (21.5%) seropositive urban students, but lower than the central-western region, with 113/116 (97.4%) farmers from a single dairy cattle farm with domestic cats and potentially contaminated environment [16,17]. Interestingly, the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in the present study was lower than other Brazilian neglected populations, such as 131/231 (56.7%) persons of riverside communities in the northern and 119/148 (80.4%) indigenous persons in the central-western region [18,19].…”

“…Although human T. gondii seroprevalence has been extensively reported, ranging from 0.8% to 77.5% worldwide [12], few reports are available for vulnerable populations including 123/597 (20.6%) aboriginal individuals of Thailand, 236/628 (37.6%) prisoners of Turkey, mostly (92.8%) males, and 63/199 (31.7%) pregnant refugee and borderline migrant women of Asia [13][14][15]. In Brazil, seropositivity of T. gondii has been ranged from 14/65 (21.5%) urban students of northeastern region to 113/116 (97.4%) farmers of dairy cattle farm in central-western region [16,17]. In vulnerable populations of Brazil, the positivity reported was 131/231 (56.7%) inhabitants living in riverside communities of northern region and 119/148 (80.4 %) indigenous of central-western region [18,19].…”

“…Um estudo verificou menor soroprevalência ao analisar crianças atendidas no ambulatório do hospital universitário de Brasília, 21,8% (66) de amostras positivas e 3% (9) em crianças atendidas em clínicas e laboratórios particulares ou de planos de saúde (18) . Outro estudo analisou 1.131 amostras, sendo 931 de pacientes atendidos no laboratório Rômulo Rocha da Faculdade de Farmácia da Universidade Federal de Goiás e 200 de um laboratório particular da cidade de Goiânia, encontrando uma frequência significativa, 9% (213) amostras soropositivas para IgG anti-Toxocara spp (19) . Em um estudo realizado no municí-pio de Presidente Prudente (SP), em amostras de 252 crianças, sendo 126 oriundas do Sistema Único de Saúde e 126 do sistema privado de saúde do município, verificou-se que 11,1% (28) das amostras foram reativas para anti-Toxocara spp.…”
