Congenital toxoplasmosis in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil: a neglected infectious disease?
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
This
study
aimed
to
investigate
the
distribution
of
congenital
toxoplasmosis
in
the
state
of
Minas
Gerais
,
Southeastern
Brazil
and
describe
the
demographic
and
socioeconomic
profile
of
the
municipalities
associated
with
the
disease
.
An
ecological
study
was
conducted
using
socioeconomic
indicators
of
a
database
(
MGSSRI
)
created
by
Fundação
João
Pinheiro
(
a
government
technical
support
agency
of
Minas
Gerais
)
,
in
order
to
show
the
development
of
the
municipalities
in
the
state
.
The
prevalence
of
toxoplasmosis
was
the
outcome
and
the
items
of
the
MGSSRI
were
the
explanatory
variables
.
Of
146
,
307
newborns
screened
(
November
2006
to
May
2007
)
,
190
had
congenital
toxoplasmosis
,
yielding
a
prevalence
of
1
·
3
/
1000
,
ranging
from
0
to
76
·
9
/
1000
in
the
municipalities
.
The
multivariate
model
indicated
a
higher
occurrence
of
toxoplasmosis
in
municipalities
with
smaller
populations
and
worse
indexes
of
tax
performance
.
Congenital
toxoplasmosis
appears
to
be
a
neglected
disease
in
the
state
of
Minas
Gerais
,
given
the
high
prevalence
found
and
its
concentration
in
municipalities
with
worse
socioeconomic
indexes
.
