In the current work, the widespread of IgG and IgM antibodies to TORCH (Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex virus) agents were investigated in women with Bad Obstetric History (BOH). The study was conducted on 120 aborted women age (15-40) years who visited Public Health Center in Ibn -Ghazwan and Basra hospital in Basra city, from October 2019 to March 2020. Forty normal women (age matched) were taken as control. IgG and IgM Abs of infections, were tested with used (TORCH) kit IgG and IgM ELISA and VIDAS technique ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) by used Vidas instrument (BioMerieux /France).it is automated immunoassay system. The results showed that the overall of TORCH infection was (75%). This rate contributed the following rates (94.2%, 75.8%, 48.3%, 30.8% and 15%) for Rubella, HSV -1, T. gondii, CMV and HSV-2 respectively. Relationship between aborted women age distribution was important especially women aging from 36-40 years with strongly significant variation between age groups of HSV-2 only (P˂ 0.003).Regarding frequency of TORCH IgG positive according to gestational periods of pregnancy, it did not appear any statistical significant variations between the trimester groups of all TORCH IgG infections, except CMV IgG infection (P˂ 0.04). Residential distribution with type of infection according IgM Antibodies shows that most infection occurred in urban area in all agents except in Toxoplasmainfections, which formed 82.7% in rural area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
