Resumo: | Objective: To investigate the presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG in the serum of Biological Sciences students at the Federal University of Uberlândia, Pontal campus. Methods: Cross-sectional prevalence study with data collection was conducted between June 2017 and February 2018. Indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques were used, and semi-structured questionnaires were used to assess previous knowledge abouttoxoplasmosis. Results: 128 students aged 18 to 41 years participated in the study, 83 (64.4%) female and 45 (35.6%) male. Blood samples were collected from 106 participants, and 13 (12.3%) had anti-T gondii antibodies. Of these, 3 (2.8%) claimed to consume unpasteurized bovine milk, 3 (2.8%) raw or undercooked meat, and 1 (0.94%) raw or unhygienic vegetables. There was no statistically significant association between positivity (IgM anti-T. gondii or IgG anti-T. gondii) and the variables analyzed in the questionnaire. Conclusion: In this work, it was possible to verify the presence of IgM and IgG anti-T gondii antibodies in university students. There was no association between seropositivity and eating habits. However, the questionnaire response analysis showed risky behavior on these individuals, especially concerning frequent contact with dogs and cats, often collected on the street. |

Métodos: Estudo transversal de prevalência, com coleta de dados realizada entre junho de 2017 e fevereiro de 2018. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de Imunofluorescência Indireta e Ensaio Imunoenzimático (ELISA) e aplicados questionário semiestruturado para avaliação dos conhecimentos prévios sobre a toxoplasmose. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 128 alunos com faixa etária de 18 a 41 anos, sendo 83 (64,4%) do sexo feminino e 45 (35,6%) do sexo masculino. Foram colhidas amostras de sangue de 106 participantes e 13 (12,3%) apresentaram anticorpos anti-T. gondii. Destes, 3 (2,8%) afirmaram consumir leite bovino não pasteurizado, 3 (2,8%) carne crua ou mal passada e 1 (0,94%) vegetais crus ou não higienizados. Não foi observada associação estatisticamente significativa entre positividade (IgM anti-T. gondii e/ou IgG anti-T. gondii) e as variáveis analisadas no questionário.Conclusão: Neste trabalho foi possível verificar a presença de anticorpos IgM e IgG anti-T. gondii em universitários. Não se observou uma associação entre soropositividade e o hábito alimentar. Entretanto, a análise das respostas obtidas no questionário mostrou comportamento de risco por parte destes indivíduos, principalmente ao que se refere ao contato frequente com cães e gatos, muitas vezes recolhidos na rua.AISI/HCI2020-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewedAvaliado pelos parestextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdftext/xmltext/htmlhttps://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/article/view/103810.21876/rcshci.v10i4.1038Revista Ciências em Saúde; v. 10 n. 4 (2020): Outubro a Dezembro de 2020; 151-159Health Sciences Journal; Vol 10 No 4 (2020): October to December 2020; 151-1592236-378510.21876/rcshci.v10i4reponame:Revista Ciências em Saúdeinstname:Hospital de Clínicas de Itajubáinstacron:HCIporhttps://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/article/view/1038/625https://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/article/view/1038/631https://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/article/view/1038/651Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Ciências em Saúdehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Franco dos Santos, Isadora PaulaMarinho, Ana Flávia Santos SilvaGómez-Hernández, CésarAndrade, Cristhianne Molinero RatkeviciusRodrigues, Virmondes Rezende-Oliveira, Karine 2021-01-07T17:12:25Zoai:ojs.portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br:article/1038Revistahttps://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zeroPUBhttps://portalrcs.hcitajuba.org.br/index.php/rcsfmit_zero/oaircs@hcitajuba.org.br||rcsfmit@medicinaitajuba.com.br2236-37852236-3785opendoar:2021-01-07T17:12:25Revista Ciências em Saúde - Hospital de Clínicas de Itajubáfalse |
