EMERGENCY CALL 
Description:
The Toxoplasma IgG/IgM Test is a serological test used to detect IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. It helps determine past or recent infection and is important for pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and organ transplant recipients.
Key Points:
IgM positive → Suggests a recent or active infection (further testing needed for confirmation).
IgG positive → Indicates a past infection and possible immunity.
IgG & IgM negative → No prior exposure, meaning susceptibility to infection.
Used in: Pregnancy screening, immunocompromised patient evaluation, and diagnosing toxoplasmosis-related complications (e.g., congenital toxoplasmosis).
Importance:
Early detection in pregnant women helps prevent transmission to the fetus, which can cause birth defects or miscarriage. In immunocompromised individuals, toxoplasmosis can lead to severe complications.
