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...

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...

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...
