| Popis: | The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was assessed from August 2000 to March 2001 on 1025 women in child-bearing age while consulting in the preventive health center (PHC) of Yopougon (Abidjan). Indirect immunofluorescent test was used for detection of IgG and Remington test for detection of IgM. Among the women under investigation, 60% were found to be IG seropositive, including 0.4% IgM seropositive. Soil and food were sources of contamination. When compared to previous studies conducted in the same region for several years, these results give evidence of a stability of the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis, contributing to increase the risk of toxoplasmic encephalitis occurrence in AIDS patients. |
