Appraisal of prenatal anti-Toxoplasma gondii [IGG+IGM]-IHA/IGM-Elisa screening in single samples VIA IGG Avidity test

ABSTRACT

Congenital toxoplasmosis is associated with important morbidity and mortality. Since vertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii can occur in acute cases, antenatal screening for recent infections is vital. Accurate determination of acute toxoplasmosis requires a combination of immunoassays, usually not routinely applied for screening purposes. This study evaluated the anti-T. gondii [IgG+IgM]/IgM prenatal screening procedure by IgG avidity assay
