Prevalência de doenças infectocontagiosas de transmissão vertical em gestantes atendidas no Município de Astorga, Paraná

Abstract

The transmission of infectious diseases during gestation has a high incidence in our population and are considered of extreme importance, since they can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus (vertical transmission). Among the infections of great relevance we can mention: toxoplasmosis, syphilis, hepatitis B and C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Infections when contracted during pregnancy pose risks to both mother and child and are directly related to high morbidity and mortality rates for both. The aim of this research is to analyze the prevalence of syphilis, hepatitis B and C and HIV toxoplasmosis in pregnant women attended at the Municipal Laboratory of the Astorga Health Center, from a retrospective study. With the data from cadastral records we analyzed the results of exams performed during the period of 2016 and 2017. During this period, a total of 623 pregnant women were registered, 9 had positive IgM for toxoplasmosis, 13 had syphilis, 2 had HIV and only one pregnant woman presented a reactive test for Hepatitis B, and pregnant women with Hepatitis C were absent. At the end of the study, we observed that among the analyzed women, despite all health care performed by the SUS, however, in a comparative between 2 years, there was an increase in the general indices of infectocontagious diseases, these results emphasize the importance of gestac care prevention of transmission of infectious diseases.
