AB We have investigated the prevalence of antibodies against Toxoplasma
gondii, Trypanosoma cruzzi, Hepatitis B virus, cytomegalovirus, rubella
virus, and human immunodeficiency virus in 139 adolescent pregnant women
and in their high risk newborn children. The methods employed were the
Sabin and Feldman reaction, complement fixation reaction, ELISA, and
xenodiagnostic 30.9% of the pregnant group were seropositive for T.
gondii, both mothers and newborns were IgM-negative. Two mothers (1.4%)
presented anti T. cruzii antibodies, and one newborn child had
circulating parasites. Related to the virological studies, 93.5% of the
population were anti CMV antibodies positive and all their newborns were
IgM (-) 90.6% of the adolescents were rubella positive and one was
seropositive to VIH. We conclude that the prevalence found in this group
of adolescent pregnant women are not significantly different to the one
reported for the general pregnant women population.
