Resumo
The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of specific IgG antibodies against PB19
virus, which identify previous immunity, and IgM antibodies, characteristic of acute infection,
in women of childbearing age in Goiânia, a capital city in the Midwestern Region of Brazil. To
achieve this, 101 serum samples collected from health women identified via prenatal care
services, birth control groups, communitarian work groups, and public night schools near
Public Health Units were tested. The samples were stored in the section of Parasitology of the
Tropical Pathology and Public Health Institute of the Federal University of Goiás (IPTSP/UFG)
and were tested using ELISA (IgM and IgG) against parvovirus B19. The women were
evaluated according to several aspects (economic, social, cultural, age, marital status,
previous blood transfusion, pregnancy evolution, among others). The statistical tests used
were variance analysis,
2
, and multivariance analysis (logistic regression). The results
showed that the population analyzed was young, poor, presented low level of formal
education, underwent regular prenatal care exams (in terms of number of attendances), and
lived in brick houses with few rooms and many inhabitants, with a regular sanitation system.
Prevalence of previous PB19 infection was the lowest found in the literature available (8.9%),
average prevalence detected was 60%, and acute infection was 26.7%, similar to the one
found in periods of epidemics. Furthermore, 25% of the acutely infected women were
pregnant during the sample collection, which represented a risk of vertical transmission.
