dc.description.abstract | Aim: Infections during pregnancy are one of the causes of morbidity and mortality for mother and fetus. TORCH arethe microorganisms that cause congenital infections. Prevention and treatment of TORCH infection is very importantfor maternal and child health. In this study, we aimed to determine the seroprevalence of these infections amongpregnant women.Material and Methods: Laboratory data of 1371 pregnant women were evaluated retrospectively. Toxoplasma,Rubella and Cytomegalovirus IgM and IgG antibodies were tested by the carbonylmetalloimmunoassay method.Results: The ages of pregnant women whose laboratory data were examined, varied between 17 and 47, and the meanage was 30.1 ± 5.2. Positive Toxoplasma IgG antibody was found 36.3%, while 1.0% were positive for the ToxoplasmaIgM antibody. Rubella IgG seropositivity was found 94.3%, and Rubella IgM was found 0.7%. CMV IgG and IgMpositivities were detected in 94.1% and 0.9% respectively.Conclusion: Detection of antenatal risk groups is an important step in the prevention of congenital syndromes.Therefore, it is very important to know the seropositivity rates of that region. The common population screening maycontribute to the prevention of congenital infections due to TORCH agents. Toxoplasma gondii screening can berecommended because the prevalence is not high. CMV screening is not significant due to high seroprevalence. Highanti-rubella IgG seropositivity shows that pregnant women in this region have high immunity levels. | en_US |
