The seroprevalence of antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and Rubella virus among childbearing age women in Mardin province

Abstract: Objectives: In present study, we investigated the seroprevalence of the antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and Rubella virus, which may cause congenital infections in risk groups including childbearing age women in a period of two years. Materials and Methods:The samples of sera, which were taken from risk groups including pregnant and childbearing age women admitted to our hospital during May 2008 and April 2010, were tested for antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and Rubella virus. Anti-Toxoplasma IgM/IgG… Show more

“…Table 2 presents the summary of TORCH studies in Turkey. In our study, anti-toxoplasma Ig G seropositivity was detected as 31% which is consistent with most of the studies performed in Turkey [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28]. Cultural differences between regions, rich and variable cuisine culture in Turkey also reflect on this type of studies.…”

“…Besides, similar rubella seropositivity rates were observed in other regions. Rubella Ig G seropositivity rates were 76.5%, and 76.6% in Mardin [28], and Edirne [18], respectively. These data are important in that they give an idea about whether national vaccination programs have achieved their goals and implemented all over the population, their acceptability by every section of the community and tracking the success of vaccination programs.…”
