“…Thus the susceptibility rate in our study population was 7.9%, which was higher to that reported recently for Turkey [11], [17]- [22], Nigeria [23], [24], Brazil [25], Iran [26], [27], Bangladesh [28], Korea [29], and Cuba [30]. However, our study susceptibility was lower than that reported for France [31], Nepal [32], India [13], [33], [34], Switzerland [35], Croatia [36], Malaysia [37], Iran [12], [38], Poland [39], Ireland [10], Russia [40], Taiwan [41], Germany [42], Azerbaijan [43], Bangladesh [44], and Brazil [45]. In comparison to Arab countries, this study susceptibility rate was lower to that reported for Egypt [46], Sudan [47], Syria [48], and Jordan [15], but similar to that reported for Saudi Arabia [49], and higher to rate in Qatar [50], Sudan [51], and Tunisia [52].…”

The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the common viral infections worldwide that represent a major cause of congenital infections. To determine the seroprevalence of CMV in women with bad obstetric history and sociodemographic characteristics that may influence the seropositivity, a case control descriptive prospective study was conducted in Kirkuk, Iraq. A 838 women with age range from 14 to 48 were included in the study. Of the total, 547 women were with bad obstetric history (BOH) and 291 women with normal previous pregnancy as control group. All the serum samples collected from the study and control groups were tested for CMV IgM and IgG antibodies by ELISA kits. CMV IgM seroprevalence was higher in women with BOH. CMV IgG seroprevalence was with no significant difference between BOH and control. CMV IgG seroprevalence significantly influenced by age, education, smoking, and family size. However, CMV IgM seroprevalence significantly associated with pregnancy, residence, and animal exposure. Odd ratio confirmed the association between CMV IgG and age, crowding index, residence, smoking, and number of abortion in women with BOH. In addition, current CMV infection significantly associated with residence in women with BOH.

“…[15][16][17][18][19] The prevalence in this study is 15.19%, which is in accordance to a study done by Malarvizhi et al 20 The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in study group was 24.50% , a little higher than studies done on women with BOH by other authors. 21,22 In this study, a statistically significant higher (24.50%) prevalence of seropositive cases were seen in study group as compared to women in control group (5.88%). This finding is in accordance with studies conducted by Sentahmarai S et al (13.09% vs 8%), Ebadi et al (17.5% vs 14%), and Suryamani et al 23 (45% vs 8.33%).…”

“…The causes of this disease are multifactorial that can be attributed to factors such as infectious, immunological, hormonal, chromosomal, anatomical, and coagulation factors (1)(2)(3)(4). About 5% of all Recurrent Miscarriages are infectious (5,6). Congenital infections are the most important threats to the health of the fetus in humans, most of which are caused by viral agents.…”

“…They reported that the high titer of IgM-CMV and IgG-CMV plays the most important role in recurrent pregnancy loss (17). In another study, Ebadi et al (2011) in Jahrom reported the significant association of prevalence of Rubella with recurrent spontaneous abortion (5). Therefore, our study is compatible with these studies.…”

Background: Recurrent miscarriage is defined as a condition with two or more consecutive abortions before the 20 weeks of gestation. Recurrent miscarriage is a multi-factorial disease, which occurs in approximately 1% -2% of women at the reproductive age. Congenital infection is one of the most important factors in the recurrent miscarriages. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rubella, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasma infections on recurrent miscarriage in Bonab county. Methods: This is a case-control study. Blood samples from a total of 100 women with recurrent miscarriage and 100 healthy women aged 20 to 35 years were taken and serum were separated. Antibodies against Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Toxoplasma were read by direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Finally, data were statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 31 patients and 14 controls were positive for IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma. In addition, 27 persons in the patient group and 11 in the control group were positive for the presence of IgG antibodies against Cytomegalovirus. A total of 29 patients and 11 controls were positive for IgG antibodies against Rubella. Conclusion: In this study, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of anti-Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Toxoplasma antibodies between women with recurrent miscarriage and healthy women.
