Abstract
Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide health problem. Infection in pregnant women can result in severe fetal morbidity or in subclinical neonatal infection; most subclinical cases develop ocular and neurological sequelae. The purpose of this serological study was to assess the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in two populations of women of childbearing age in Siena (Tuscany, Central Italy) and Bari (Apulia, Southern Italy) between 2013 and 2017 and in a group of pregnant women in Bari in 2016–2017. Serum samples were tested for the presence of specific anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies by a commercially available ELISA test. The percentage of seropositive subjects in Bari was significantly higher than in Siena (22.4% vs. 12.4%) and an age-related trend was observed. A low prevalence of T. gondii infection (13.8%) was observed among the pregnant women tested. In addition to showing a significant difference between Central and Southern Italy, this study provides updated data on T. gondii seroprevalence in women during childbearing age and pregnancy. The results confirm a trend toward a decrease, especially in younger people and pregnant women.
Résumé
La toxoplasmose est un problème de santé mondial. L’infection d’une femme enceinte peut entraîner une morbidité fœtale grave ou une infection néonatale subclinique, et la plupart des cas subcliniques développeront des séquelles oculaires et neurologiques. Le but de cette étude sérologique était d’évaluer la prévalence de Toxoplasma gondii dans deux populations de femmes en âge de procréer à Sienne (Toscane, Italie centrale) et Bari (Pouilles, Italie du Sud) entre 2013 et 2017 et dans un groupe de femmes enceintes à Bari en 2016-2017. Des échantillons de sérum ont été testés pour la présence d’anticorps IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii spécifiques par un test ELISA commercial. Le pourcentage de sujets séropositifs à Bari était significativement plus élevé qu’à Sienne (22,4 % vs 12,4 %) et une tendance liée à l’âge a été observée. Une faible prévalence de l’infection à T. gondii (13,8 %) a été observée chez les femmes enceintes testées. En plus de montrer une différence significative entre le centre et le sud de l’Italie, cette étude fournit des données actualisées sur la séroprévalence de T. gondii chez les femmes en âge de procréer et pendant la grossesse. Les résultats confirment une tendance à la baisse, notamment chez les jeunes et les femmes enceintes.
