Determinación de AC de Toxoplasma (IGG – IGM) por el Método de Electroquimioluminiscencia y su Relación con los Factores de Riesgo en Mujeres Embarazadas que acuden al Hospital General Docente Ambato

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis that there is a high prevalence of infection, and can become a serious systemic disease when it is in its congenital form, in which women, when first infected during pregnancy may file a parasitemia thus affecting the fetus (2). Therefore it is considered very important timely diagnosis of this disease.

The analytical method was performed on the computer Cobas E411 by electrochemiluminescence method, a method of high sensitivity, which allows the diagnosis of Toxoplasma Ac (IgG - IgM), providing quantitative results.

In this project, 84 samples were collected along with the medical order of the General Teaching Hospital Ambato where they requested the examination of toxoplasma IgG-IgM to all those women who were in the first trimester of pregnancy and they gave me their consent to participate in research also they met the inclusion criteria.

by the method - Determination of Toxoplasma Ac (IgG IgM): H1: Statistically a significance of 0.000 to 0.004 that were less than 0.05 therefore allowed me to reject the null hypothesis and test the alternative hypothesis, which is obtained electrochemiluminescence if it relates to the risk factors in pregnant women attending the General Teaching Hospital Ambato

Therefore if there is a significant relationship for infection of Toxoplasma with risk factors such as age range of 30-39 years old, rural area of residence, have cats as pets, the cat make defecation within the house, women do cleaning cat feces, that the habit of washing hands before and after handling food is sometimes or never and consumption of undercooked meat or undercooked.
