As described Botero and Restrepo, toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a protozoan Toxoplasma gondii intracellular coccidia subclass involving a portion of the population worldwide, it is associated with congenital infection and abortions. The aim of this study is serologically to determine the presence of IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in pregnant Parasite women living in Juigalpa Area No. 4. The research was conducted to determine the degree of positivity presenting blood samples of these people, the instrument used in this research was the survey and serological analysis of blood samples, the data obtained were inserted into a probabilistic program (SPSS).
This research is positioned in the positivist paradigm, in which 21 pregnant women participated. Examination of Toxoplasma gondii was performed via ELISA method IgM. 23.8% of 100% of the analyzed samples from the research participants, were positive for IgM antibodies, which is dangerous for a pregnant woman because if the mother becomes infected with toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, there are many chances of passing the infection to the fetus, and the percentage of risk of transmission is greater the more advanced is the gestation at the time of infection being 15% if this occurs during the first quarter, 30% in the second quarter, reaching 60% in the third quarter.
