Resumo
Toxoplasmosis in pregnancy is a disease of
great concern in public health due to the risk of vertical
transmission and to the possibility of causing
severe
lesions to those affected. Objectives: To evaluate pre-birth
assistance offered in the basic health unitsin Vila Nova and
Sevilha
urban
sectors
(Tocantins),
emphasizing
toxoplasmosis in pregnancy and its risk factors. Methods:
111 pregnant females were evaluated, being 60 from
Sevilhabasic health unit and 51 from basic health unit in
v.6, n. 3, set/dez. 2014
UnirG, Gurupi, TO, BrasilVila Nova sector. Serology was used to assess the
frequency of toxoplasmose. Data were entered in Epi-Info
3.3.2 program from which contingency tables were
prepared to determine associations between variables
using odds ratio. Results: 71 females or 63.96% were
found to be chronically infected with toxoplasmosis
(presence of IgG antibodies) associated with toxoplasma
gondii. A relationship between toxoplasmosis contamination
and the use of non-treated water was found and this
relationship increased 2.5
times the chance or risk
of
contamination. The risk of eating home prepared sausage
increased 2.2 times the risk of infection and those owning
cats at home presented 7.1 times increased risk of infection
with
the
parasite.Conclusions:The
frequency
of
toxoplasmosis in pregnant women was high and was
directly associated with intake of non-treated water,
eatinghome made sausage and contact with cats.
