Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Since the Syrian Civil War began in 2011, the official number of refugees under temporary protection in Turkiye is reported to be 3,522,036 in 2023. Most of the Syrians living outside the refugee camps have worse conditions in terms of access to healthcare centers and social opportunities, compared to those living in camps. The Sanliurfa province hosts the third highest number of Syrians (370,291) in Turkiye. There are no data about the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), rubella (rub), or cytomegalovirus (CMV) among Syrian refugees in Sanliurfa. We aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of T. gondii, rub, and CMV infections among female Syrian refugees of reproductive age (15-49 years) living in Sanliurfa province.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in different districts of Sanliurfa. A total of 460 households were selected using the probability sampling method. One married female Syrian refugee aged between 15 and 49 years, was chosen in each household, leading to a sample size of 410 female Syrian refugees. The seropositivity of T. gondii, CMV, and rub IgM and IgG in blood samples were analyzed using enzyme immunoassays (Abbott Architect, Illinois, USA).
RESULTS: The seropositivity rates of T. gondii, CMV, and rubella IgM and IgG were 4.4% and 59.8%; 3.9%; and 99%; and 1.9%, and 99.5%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: A screening program should be implemented for T. gondii, CMV, and rub infections for Syrian refugees. Seronegative women should be vaccinated against rub and educated about the transmission and preventive routes of toxoplasmosis and CMV infection.

摘要：
背景：自2011年叙利亚内战开始以来，据报道，到2023年，图尔基耶受临时保护的官方难民人数为3,522,036。大多数生活在难民营外的叙利亚人在获得医疗中心和社会机会方面的条件较差，与住在营地的人相比。Sanliurfa省在图尔基耶拥有第三多的叙利亚人（370,291）。没有关于弓形虫血清阳性率的数据（T。gondii),风疹（擦），或巨细胞病毒（CMV）在Sanliurfa的叙利亚难民中。我们的目的是调查弓形虫的血清阳性率，rub,生活在Sanliurfa省的育龄（15-49岁）的叙利亚女性难民中的CMV感染。
方法：在Sanliurfa的不同地区进行了横断面研究。采用概率抽样方法共抽取460户。一名年龄在15至49岁之间的已婚叙利亚女性难民，在每个家庭中被选中，导致410名叙利亚女性难民的样本量。弓形虫的血清阳性，CMV,并使用酶免疫测定法分析血液样本中的IgM和IgG(雅培建筑师，伊利诺伊州,美国）。
结果：弓形虫的血清阳性率，CMV,风疹IgM和IgG分别为4.4%和59.8%;3.9%;和99%;和1.9%,99.5%,分别。
结论：应实施弓形虫筛查计划，CMV,并为叙利亚难民提供感染。血清阴性的妇女应接种疫苗，以预防弓形虫病和CMV感染的传播和预防途径。
