ABSTRACT
Infectious and parasitic diseases affecting women during their reproductive age may result in vertical transmission. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence for TORSCH among pregnant women receiving care at a university hospital. Records of 574 pregnant women who received medical attention from January 2006 to December 2007 were assessed. The mean age was 27.2 ± 6.5 years ranging from 13 to 44. The results of the immunodiagnostic tests were 62.0 percent (345/556) for IgG and 3.4 percent (19/556) for IgM anti-T. gondii; 93.1 percent (433/465) for IgG and 0.6 percent (3/465) for IgM anti-rubella; 0.9 percent (5/561) for VDRL; 1.8 percent (10/554) for HBsAg; 0.7 percent (4/545) for anti-HCV and 2.1 percent (11/531) for HIV. In conclusion, the results of immunodiagnostic tests for the TORSCH panel among pregnant women attending a perinatal service of a university hospital are in agreement with those reported by previous studies and by governmental sources.
