Abstract

Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important cause of congenital viral infections that can lead to sensorineural hearing loss and mental retardation in children. After infection of the human, CMV remains latent and can be transmitted to others. This study was performed to determine the seroprevalence of CMV infection among the students of Babol University of Medical Sciences.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 178 students of Babol University of Medical Sciences during 2009-2012. After obtaining the informed consent, demographic data and blood samples were collected from all participants. Anti-CMV IgG antibody titers were measured by ELISA. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS and statistical tests.

Findings: Of the participants, 37 (20.8%) were male and others were female. The mean age was 21.29+2.91. About 96% of the subjects (171 students) were positive for anti-CMV IgG, of whom 33 (19.3%) were male and others were female. There was no significant association between anti-CMV antibodies and demographic variables including gender (p=0.74), marital status (p=0.684), residency status (p>0.05), and field of study (p=0.95).

Conclusion: According to the high prevalence of CMV among the medical sciences students and the importance of congenital diseases caused by CMV, expansion of prevention programs and essential trainings, especially for the seronegative healthcare workers (e.g. physicians, nurses and midwives) and women in the marriageable age, seems necessary.

Abstract

Abstract

Background and Objective: According to suitable ecological conditions and being endemic of Mazandaran province for many parasitic agents, present study was done  for determination of rate of parasitic infections in patients referred to Ayatollah Rohani hospital in 2015.   

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive- analytical study was performed on 4478 fecal  samples were collected from patients referred  to Ayatollah Rohani hospital between  April 2015 and  March 2016. The samples were examined with direct wet mount and formalin-ether concentration methods. The data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and SPSS.

Findings: Of  the 4478 samples studied, 370 (8.26%) were positive for parasitic infection. Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba coli and Giardia lamblia were the most common causes with the prevalence of 2.56%, 1.6% and 1.45%, respectively. The infection rate in male was higher than from female (p<0.05). Rate of infections in rural areas in comparison to urban regions did not showed any significant differences. Most of the infections were seen in autumn compared with other seasons (p=0.02). Infection rate was more common in 31-49 age group and lower infection rate was observed in age group of less than 11 years (p=0.025).

Conclusion: According to prevalence of parasitic infection in Babol, which are important in terms of medical and clinical aspects, thus using an effective controlling systems is proposed for decreasing food and water contaminations.
