Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and rubella in a pregnant population consulting in CMNTRT : Departement «A»

Toxoplasmosis and rubella are two grave infections in pregnancy. The toxoplasmosis primo-infection rate in pregnancy is 1 %. The risk of congenital rubella in child issud from seronegative women is estimated at 0,4/1000 birth. It's a prospective study in 11 month period (Jannuary 81 - June 91 and August 93 - December 93) concerning 1398 pregnant women the prenatal survey is done in the maternity center of la Rabta - Tunis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and rubella in this population. A statistic analysis based on the X2 test is performed : - 43 % of women are not immunisated against toxoplasmosis. - 20 % of women are not immunisated against rubella. Therefore, there is an isuffisant rate of vaccination against rubella. Concerning toxoplasmosis, the prenatal survey remain the unique possibility of prevention. We propose a common attitude and management in these two infections.
