The performance of four molecular methods for the laboratory diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis in amniotic fluid samples

15 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Toxoplasmosis may be life-threatening in fetuses and in immune-deficient patients. Conventional laboratory diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is based on the presence of IgM and IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies; however, molecular techniques have emerged as alternative tools due to their increased sensitivity. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of 4 PCR-based methods for the...
