ABSTRACT
Sera from 50 patients were examined with conventional ELISA, IFA and Toxolatex Fumouze. Out of 50 specimens, only 3 false positive cases were detected with Toxolatex Fumouze as compared with the results of ELISA and IFA tests. Toxolatex Fumouze represents a rapid, highly sensitive and specific technique for screening of specific antibodies against toxoplasmosis, but due to false negative results, sera from patients at risk of severe toxoplasmosis [fetus, HIV + transplant, immunosuppressed] should be tested with other serological methods such as the dye test, DS-ELISA and ISAGA
