چکیده
background: the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is most critical in pregnant women who acquire infection during gestation and also in fetuses and newborns who are congenitally infected. this study described the performance of molecular and confirmatory serologic testing for toxoplasma infection in the tissues of human spontaneous aborted fetuses and their mothers' blood. materials and methods: 87 random samples from the tissues of body of spontaneous aborted fetuses (less than 14 weeks) in a separate container of preservative solution were collected from the delivery room of the university maternity hospital, arak- iran , during autumn 2012 to 2013. in the ward, 3 ml of blood sample of their mothers were collected and the sera were separated and analyzed by elisa method for the detection of specific igg. dna extraction from the tissues of fetuses was performed and stored until use. the pcr reaction was performed by a pair of primers. pcr products were analyzed by electrophoresis and stained with safe stain. it is necessary to mention first that the written consent was obtained from their mothers and after recovery, a demographic questionnaire was completed. results: most of the mothers were 20-29 years of age and the correlation between the location of residence, contact with cats and eating undercooked food with abortion, not significant. serological tests on the sera of 87 mothers for anti-toxoplasma igg showed 39.08% positive results. the results of pcr amplification showed that none of the 87 samples from aborted fetuses were infected with toxoplasma gondii. conclusion: in aborted fetuses, we did not observe any evidence of toxoplasmosis and it appears that toxoplasma gondii was not the cause of spontaneous abortion in this area of iran but considering the importance of the infection during pregnancy, the control measurements during pregnancy is required.
