Para establecer la seroprevalencia por Toxoplasma gondii se estudiaron 378 mujeres en edad fértil, que consultaron a los servicios ambulatorios del Hospital de Yopal - Casanare, de las cuales 51 (13.5 %) estaban embarazadas. Por IFI, se encontró una tasa de seropositividad de 76,7 %. Esta frecuencia es similar ala encontrada en otros estudios realizados en zonas tropicales y húmedas, y de escasa altura sobre el nivel del mar. La seropositividad se incremento con la edad de manera significativa. EI 76,2 % de las consultantes positivas presentaron títulos iguales o menores a 1:256, y solo 23,8 % de las mismas tuvieron títulos iguales u superiores al: 1024. No se encontró asociación de la seropositividad con las variables sociales, ambientales, posesión de animales y de comportamiento consideradas, a excepción del número de hijos.
Toxoplasma gondii serum prevalence was established in 378 women in ambulatory care at the hospital of Yopal (Casanare, Colombia). 51 (13.5%) women were pregnant. Indirect inmuno fluorescen gave 76.7% positive serum women which agrees with other studies in low, humid tropical zones. Positive results increased rapidly and significantly with age. 76.2% of serum-positive women had titers less or equal to 1:256, while 23.8% of them had titers over 1:1024. We could not stablished an association between positive results and several cultural and behavioral parameters, except with the number of children.
