Toxoplasma Avidity IgG/IgM ELISA
About Test
The Toxoplasma Avidity IgG/IgM ELISA test is a blood test used to detect and monitor Toxoplasma gondii infection, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a common infection that can cause serious health problems in some individuals, particularly pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. The Toxoplasma Avidity IgG/IgM ELISA test measures the levels of IgG and IgM antibodies in a person's blood that are produced in response to a T. gondii infection. The test results can be used to:
- Confirm the presence of a recent or acute T. gondii infection.
- Determine if a person has a history of past T. gondii infection.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for T. gondii infection.
It's important to note that the Toxoplasma Avidity IgG/IgM ELISA test is just one tool that healthcare providers use to diagnose and monitor T. gondii infection. The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of a person's complete medical history, physical examination, and other relevant laboratory tests.
