“…In Turkey the percentages of seropositivity of IgG antibody for T. gondii and Rubella and Cytomegalovirus are 31.5%, 90% and 73.3% respectively. The percentages of seropositivity of IgM antibody for T. gondii and Rubella and Cytomegalovirus are 2.0%, 0.6% and 3.7% respectively (40). Also, our results indicated a significant correlation between T. gondii infection and soil contact that is not surprising since north-west of Iran has appropriate climate for oocyst sporulation and contacting with oocyst infected soil is one of the common routes of human infection.…”

“…seroprevalance was determined as %93.8 in Malatya and its surroundings (37) . On the other hand, in a research made in Mersin, rubella seroprevalance was determined as 55%, as 92.5% in Adana and as 82.1% in Ankara (38)(39)(40) . As is seen, even in the regions that are close to each other these ratios don't show a homogeneous distribution.…”

Objective: To investigate the distribution of toxoplasma gondii antibodies retrospectively among the first trimestr antenatal population in Trakya region. Material and methods: This study retrospectively analyzes seroprevalance of toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG antibodies in the sera of 1646 first trimester pregnancies attended to the Obstetrics & gynecology Antenatal Care . For this purpose IgM, IgG and if necessary, IgG avidity results were evaluated. Besides, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), human inmmunodeficieny virus type 1 and 2 antibodies (Anti HIV), cytomegalovirus (AntiCMV) IgG and IgM antibodies, hepatitis C antibody (AntiHCV), rubella (antirubella) IgM and IgG antibodies and "venereal disease research laboratory" (VDRL) results evaluated in the same period were also investigated. Results: Although the status of seroprevalance is not known in 313 (19%) women, 876 pregnant women (65.71%) were IgG and IgM seronegative, 426 (31.95%) were IgG seropositivite, 13 (0.97%) were IgM positivite and 18 (1.35%) were both IgG and IgM seropositivite. On the other hand, 13 of 18 patients with both IgG and IgM seropositivity showed high avidity but avidity could not be evaluated in 4 patients. HBsAg positivity was found in 3% (47/1526), AntiHCV positivity in 0.8% (12/1474), VDRL in 0.4% (5/1056), rubella IgM antibody in 0.7% (9/1254), rubella IgG antibody in 76.6% (940/1227), according to the other serologic tests. AntiCMV IgM antibody was positive in 17 (17/1284, 1.3%) and IgG was positive in 1027 (1027/1279, 80.3%) patients. Conclusion: As well as toxoplasma exposure rate in the pregnant women from Trakya region of Turkey is high (%30), nearly half of first trimester women were found seronegative. Screening during the first trimester would be appropriate, particularly for women who are under risk of infection.

“…19 Serologic studies conducted in many countries around the world in the past 20 y show that seropositivity increases with age. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] According to the rubella susceptibility studies which were performed in our country, an increase in seropositivity by be serologically susceptible to rubella. The rate of rubella susceptibility rapidly decreased after 6 y of age with a lowest rate of 1.5% in the 20-to 29-y-old group.…”
