Detection of Anti-Toxoplasma Immunoglobulin M in Pregnant Women
Liesenfeld et al. (1) recently published a very interesting article on an old but still often embarrassing problem, the detection of anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin M (IgM) in pregnant women. We completely agree with their conclusions, but we would like to add some more comments. First, the evaluation of IgM detection with a serology kit is easy when the follow-up of patients allows the collecti...

متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to P35 antigen of Toxoplasma gondii for serodiagnosis of recently acquired infection in pregnant women.
We examined the efficiency of detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to a 35-kDa antigen (P35) of Toxoplasma gondii for serodiagnosis of acute infection in pregnant women. A double-sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with recombinant P35 antigen (P35-IgM-ELISA) was used for this purpose. On the basis of the clinical history and the combination of results from the toxoplas...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Vitros ECiQ immunodiagnostic system for detection of anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies for confirmatory testing for acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women.
Infection with Toxoplasma gondii is often asymptomatic and, when acquired during pregnancy, may lead to connatal toxoplasmosis in the offspring. The newly introduced Vitros anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM assays, designed for the Vitros ECiQ immunodiagnostic system, a fully automated system based on chemiluminescence, were evaluated as a screening method for the serological detec...
متن کاملSEROPREVALENCE OF TOXOPLASMA ANTIBODIES AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN KERMAN SHAH
Sera from 495 pregnant women were examined for toxoplasma antibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody testing (IFAT). Antibodies were positive in 32.7%. Seropositivity was not increased significantly with age but showed a statistically significant rise in accordance with frequency of parity, abortion and contact with cats. The high rate of seronegativity (67.3%) observed in pregnant women ...
