Abstract EN
In the present study, the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cy-tomegalovirus(CMV) and Chlamydia trachomatis in Palestinian women was determined through antenatal screening.
The study included 1954 Palestinian women records which were reviewed and analyzed statistically from 2000-2005.
Those women attended In vitro fertilization center in Gaza complaining from infertility and abortion.
Anti-Toxoplasma, anti-rubella, anti-CMV and anti-Chlamydia IgM antibodies were assayed using an enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay(ELISA).
Positive results were found in 7.9%, 6%, 7% and 12.8% for T.
gondii, CMV, Rubella and C.
trachomatis antibodies.
A high sig-nificant infection rate was observed in year 2003(P=0.001) for T.
gondii.
A clear variation with statistical significance was observed in the seroprevalence for all the studied pathogens regarding year of collection and age of women.
The study indicated that T.
gondii, rubella, CMV and C.
trachomatis are still constitute a public health problem among pregnant women and considered one of the abortion factors.
