Se realiza un estudio sobre seroprevalencia de la
toxoplasmosis humana en Córdoba, mediante inmunofluorescencia
indirecta y hemaglutinación indirecta.
La muestra encuestada se compone de 443 sueros, 356
personas supuestamente sanas (estudiantes fundamentalmente)
y 87, consideradas de “alto riesgo” (enfermos
del Hospital “Reina Sofía”).
La positividad obtenida para el total de la
muestra ha sido del 43,79 % con IFI y 53,50 % para
HAI. Con respecto al sexo, la prevalencia es superior
en mujeres con un 54,36 % y 70,47 % con IFI y HAI,
respectivamente, en varones el 38,43 % y 44,90 %
para las mismas pruebas. En relación con la
procedencia de la muestra, 31,lB % con IFI y 43,25
% para HAI sobre la población normal, en la de “alto
riesgo” para ambas pruebas el 95,40 %.
Entre ambas pruebas hay diferencias significativas
a títulos bajos, no así en diluciones altas,
Concluimos que la toxoplasmosis humana está
presente y difundida en las poblaciones estudiadasA seroprevalency study of human toxoplasmosis
was carried out in Córdoba, using indirect
immunofluorescence and indirect haemoglutination.
The sample of people interviewed was made up of
443 serums, 356 supposedly healthy people (mainly
students) and 87, considered “high risk” (pafients
from the “Reina Sofia” Hospital).
The positiveness obtained for the total of the
sample was 43,79 % with IFI and 53,59 % for HAI. As
regards sex of the person tested, prevalence is higher
in women, with 54,36 % and 70,47 % with IFI and HAI
respectively, in men the scores were 38,43 % and 44,90
% for the same tests. As far as the origin of the sample
was concerned, there were 31,lB % with IFI and 43,25
% for HAI of the nornal population, in the “high risk”
sample, for both tests it was 9540 %.
With both tests there are significative differences
in low amounts, but not in high dilutions.
We conclude that human toxoplasmosis is
present and widespread in the studied population
