Streszczenie

Na podstawie analizy swoistych przeciwciał IgG, IgM, IgA i awidności przeciwciał IgG przeprowadzono ocenę seroprewalencji oraz faz infekcji Toxsoplasma gondii u pacjentów badanych w Pracowni Diagnostyki Mikrobiologicznej w Krakowie w 2005 roku.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common zoonotic infection among people. Mostly asymptomatic,
in few cases it may be dangerous for men’s health and life. A primary infection in pregnant women and in patients with immune deficiency is especially serious in results. Diagnostic tests, which enable to distinguish the latent phase of the infection from the active one play a preponderant role in the fight against toxoplasmosis. In the present research we have showed the analysis of the levels of specific antibodies during the T. gondii infection. The aim of our study was to evaluate prevalence
of T. gondii and number of acute and chronic infections among patients examined by Department of
Microbiology of Jagiellonian University Medical College in Cracow in 2005 year. Sabin-Feldmana dye test and enzyme immunoassay ELISA have been applied. The prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in studied population were 59,5%. Chronic infections were showed in the group of 71,3% examined patients. Amount of acute toxoplasmosis infections estimated about 18,4%.
