Toxoplasma Avidity Igg

• The Toxoplasma Avidity IgG Test is a diagnostic procedure intended to evaluate the strength of binding, known as avidity, of IgG antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite
• This test helps determine the duration of infection and the likelihood of recent exposure to Toxoplasma gondii

• Evaluation of the duration of Toxoplasma gondii infection
• Differentiation between recent and past exposure to Toxoplasma gondii
• Assessment of the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis in pregnant women

• This Toxoplasma Avidity IgG Test includes the measurement of IgG antibody avidity against Toxoplasma gondii, typically performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or similar methods

• High avidity IgG antibodies suggest a past or resolved Toxoplasma gondii infection
• Low avidity IgG antibodies indicate a recent Toxoplasma gondii infection or exposure

• Results are reported as either high or low avidity IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, aiding in the diagnosis and management of toxoplasmosis
