Medical Conditions - Toxoplasma Antibody

Toxoplasma infection is most commonly diagnosed by detecting IgG (toxoplasma antibody) and IgM antibodies directed against Toxoplasma. The IgG antibody determination to Toxoplasma gondii helps assess the serological status of T. gondii and indicates an acute or latent infection. The acute acquired infection during pregnancy is diagnosed by a significant rise in IgG and IgM antibody titers in serial samples.
