A study was conducted to determine comparative and experimental plasma cholinesterase level (with the assay technique of Ellman's reagent) in 51 pregnant women and 52 non-pregnant, chronically exposed to organophosphate and carbamate wilderness area in Merida and who came to control and / or reference in the type I Mucuchíes Hospital Merida state in order to establish the prevalence of its effects on the area mentioned and further result in the product of gestation. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 15 for Windows. The results showed that pregnant patients with or without pathological history cholinesterase levels tend to decrease to some extent, statistically significant difference was found between the average cholinesterase levels of pregnant women with a history over which they had no background in nonpregnant women with no history of living near farming areas with pesticide exposure cholinesterase level was lower average to average level of reproductive age women unexposed and decreased average cholinesterase values in pregnant women under 39 years of age. It was concluded that pregnant women with medical history presented inhibition of plasma cholinesterase levels with respect to the non-pregnant and no history.
