RESUMEN
Toxoplasmosis es la infección parasitaria más difundida en el planeta. Como enfermedad tiene poca morbilidad y mortalidad y no debería plantearse como un problema en salud pública a no ser por dos situaciones A) - las mujeres fértiles serológicamente negativas por la posibilidad de infectarse en el curso del embarazo y B) - los pacientes inmunosuprimidos. Por ser el hospital Rawson de Córdoba, el centro de mayor demanda respecto a esta parasitosis, se inició este estudio desde el año 1994 y se continuó hasta el 2010 inclusive, planteándose los siguientes objetivos:
1- Evaluar la población en riesgo de hacer toxoplasmosis en el curso del embarazo. 2- Identificar los factores de riesgo que pudieran determinar la seroconversión de la población expuesta. Se encuestaron por medio de una ficha clínico-epidemiológica en que se identifican 1200 mujeres. El único criterio de inclusión fue la edad de 15 a 35 años. Se las distribuyó en 3 grupos de 400 pacientes cada uno. En la ficha clínico-epidemiológica se indagó sobre datos demográficos, estado gestacional, hábitos alimentarios, contacto con felinos.Se observó una elevada prevalencia de toxoplasmosis, ya que 1018 (85%) encuestadas estaban previamente infectadas y 182 (15%) resultaron serológicamente negativas.ABSTRACT
SUMMARY:
Toxoplasmosis is the most widely spread parasitic infection in our planet. As a disease it shows little morbility and mortality and should not be properly viewed as a public health issue except in two cases A) in serologically negative fertile women since they are likely to infected during their pregnancy period. B) in immunosuppressed patients. Since the Rawson Hospital of Córdoba, Argentina is the medical center with the highest demand of this parasitosis, a research study was launched in the year 1994 all through 2010 and it had twoaims:
1. To evaluate the population at risk of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. 2. To identify the risk factors that could determine seroconversion of the exposed population. 1200 women were interviewed and identified by means of a clinicalepidemiologic record. Only patients between 15 and 35 years of age were admitted to this study. The cohort was divided into 3 groups of 400 patients each group. The questionnaire of the record included information about demographic data, gestational condition, food habits and contact with felines. A high prevalence of toxoplasmosis was observed due to the fact that 1018 interviewed women (85%) had been previously infected and 182 (15%) turned out to be serologically negative. The most relevant risk factor detected was carnivorism present in 100% of all women studied. On the contrary, environmental factors (weather, geographical location) environmental hygiene and contact with home felines were not deemed to be alarming factors.
