TI  - Antenatal Toxoplasma Gondii, Rubella and Cytomegalovirus Infection Screening Among Pregnant Women Attending Tertiary University Hospital
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii,Rubella, and Cytomegalovirus, to investigate the frequency of low and high avidity results among preg-nant women and to contribute to the data of our country with the results obtained.STUDY DESIGN: In the present study, the hospital records of the women who applied to the antenataloutpatient of the Rize Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Medical Faculty during the first trimester be-tween January 2016 and October 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Toxoplasma gondii, RRubellaand Cytomegalovirus IgM, IgG and IgG avidity results were evaluated.RESULT: IgM positivity was found to be 0.83% (29/3490) for Toxoplasma gondii, 0.92% (32/3459) forRubella and 1.90% (65/3404) for Cytomegalovirus; IgG positivity was found to be 33.64% (1174/3490)for Toxoplasma gondii, 90.70% for Rubella (3140/3459), and 99.17% (3376/3404) for Cytomegalovirus.Avidity of Toxoplasma gondii was found to be low (3.70%) in 1 patient, borderline (11.11%) in 3 patients,and high avidity in 23 patients (85.18%). Avidity of Cytomegalovirus was found to be low (1.75%) in 1patient, borderline (3.50%) in 2 patients and high avidity (94.73%) in 54 patients. Avidity of Rubella wasfound to be low (4%) in 1 patient, and high avidity (96%) was found in 24 patients.CONCLUSIONS: In our study, although the prevalence of acute infection with Rubella, Cytomegalovirusand Toxoplasma gondii was shown to be low in pregnancy in Rize province, serological screening testsfor monitoring and informing high-risk groups that are particularly seronegative appear to be important.
