Proyecto piloto para el tamizaje neonatal de toxoplasmosis en dos hospitales nacionales de Guatemala

Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar el tamizaje neonatal para toxoplasmosis congénita, a través de la determinación de los anticuerpos IgM anti T. gondii, en recién nacidos atendidos en dos hospitales nacionales de los departamentos de Guatemala y Sacatepéquez. Para el análisis de las muestras se utilizó el ensayo inmunoenzimático ELISA y se recolectó información sobre los factores de riesgo asociados a la infección por medio de una ficha epidemiológica, con previo consentimiento informado. Se incluyó un total de 499 neonatos tamizados y se encontró un caso positivo para anticuerpos IgM anti T. gondii, lo cual corresponde a una frecuencia de 0.2% en la muestra evaluada. Este caso positivo correspondió a una niña que pesó 5 libras al nacer, con 35 semanas de gestación y sin alteraciones sugestivas de la infección, quien control. La madre indicó que no tuvo control prenatal durante el embarazo, posee un gato como mascota y sufrió anteriormente un aborto, Debido a la presencia de un caso de toxoplasmosis congénita no se pudo hacer ninguna inferencia con los factores de riesgo, sin embargo se reporta la presencia del gato en el ambiente familiar del caso positivo, lo cual podría tener relación. El tamizaje de la infección en las mujeres embarazadas quedó establecido en ambos hospitales y el personal entrenado para ello, por lo que se considera importante continuarlo para eliminar el riesgo que ocurra infección congénita en la población atendida.
