Introduction: TORCH stands for Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalo virus (CMV) and Herpes simplex virus- 2 (HSV-2). These infections are transmitted to the foetus through transplacental route at any time during gestation or sometimes at the time of delivery. The infection may be asymptomatic or mild in mother but associated with inadvertent outcomes for the foetus. One of the causes of BOH is maternal infection. TORCH infection is asymptomatic in pregnant women and on clinical basis it is difficult to diagnose. To study the TORCH infection (IgM and IgG antibodies)Aim: prevalence in pregnant women with Bad Obstetric History. A hospital based cross-sectionalMaterials And Methods: study conducted in Department of Microbiology in collaboration with Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, SHKM GMC, Nalhar, Nuh, Haryana over a period of one year (February 2020 - January 2021). A total of 90 samples were included in the study including control group. The IgM seroprevalence of TORCH in participants with bad obstetricResults: history was found to be 11.11%. In cases with Bad obstetric history prevalence of IgM Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus & Herpes Simplex Virus was found as 4.44%, 0%, 2.22% & 4.44% respectively and prevalence of IgG Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, & Herpes Simplex Virus was found as 53.33%, 91.11%, 88.89% & 66.67% respectively. This study concluded that a previous history of pregnancy wastage and the serologicalConclusion: screening for TORCH infections during current pregnancy must be considered while managing BOH cases to reduce the adverse fetal outcome
Résumé
Background: Uterine fibroid is the most common pelvic tumor in women of reproductive age and are asymptomatic in at least 50% of affected women. Various risk factors are associated with development of uterine fibroids during this reproductive age. The present study established various associated risk factors increases the prevalence of uterine fibroid among reproductive age group and clinical symptoms burden of diagnosed case.Methods: A cross sectional study design was used to collect samples for a period of six months in an OPD basis. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the 362 sample of reproductive age group (15-45 years) women in a tertiary care hospital, Southeastern India. Women diagnosed with uterine fibroid by ultrasonography were included as cases. Symptomatic features and associated risk factors of UF were collected through structure interview schedule.Results: Point prevalence of uterine fibroid among women in reproductive age group during the period of six months was 20%. Majority of them were in the age group of 30-39 years. Demographic factor such as overweight and obesity and consume dairy products daily has increased the prevalence of UF, whereas use of oral contraceptive pills and normal BMI had inverse relationship with UF risk. Most of the cases reported of having menstrual disturbances like heavy bleeding, passes blood clots during menstruation, prolonged period, urinary symptoms and pressure symptoms were considered independent predicting factors for the occurrence of uterine fibroid.Conclusions: Uterine fibroid is more prevalent among women of reproductive age causing various bleeding and renal symptoms that can have negative impact on quality of women’s life.
