Laboratory Diagnosis of Congenital Toxoplasmosis
Recent studies have demonstrated that screening and treatment for toxoplasmosis during gestation result in a decrease of vertical transmission and clinical sequelae. Early treatment was associated with improved outcomes. Thus, laboratory methods should aim for early identification of infants with congenital toxoplasmosis (CT). Diagnostic approaches should include, at least, detection of Toxopla...
متن کاملSerological diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis.
A comparison of the indirect haemagglutination test (IHAT) with the dye test (DT) in 23 infants with congenital toxoplasmosis showed that in the early part of the first year of life the IHAT titres were nearly all lower than the DT titres. In six cases the IHAT was negative or the titre was so low that the cases could have been missed in routine screening. Later in the first year the IHAT titre...
متن کاملOptimizing the parasitological diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis
Early diagnosis of Congenital Toxoplasmosis is highly important, since it can make the treatment possible and reduces sequela for the infant. Serological diagnosis alone cannot be accurate when it does not identify the IgA, IgM or IgG antibodies of low avidity, which do not cross the placent barrier. Therefore, parasitemic identification is important to be carried out by demonstrating the paras...

متن کاملCongenital toxoplasmosis.
Congenital toxoplasmosis results from the transplacental transmission of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii after a maternal infection acquired in pregnancy. Prevalence of congenital infection ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 per 1000 live births. The maternal-fetal transmission rate increases with gestational age at maternal seroconversion, from less than 15% at 13 weeks of gestation to over 70% at 36 weeks...
