Toxoplasma IgG/IgM
|
|
Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with Toxoplasma gondii,an eucaryotic Pathogen - belongs to the group of sporozoes. The obligatory intracellular living parasite is spread worldwide. Typical for sporocytes is the “flip-flop” between sexual (which only takes place in cats, the final host) and asexual reproduction. The Infection is often highest in areas of the world that have hot, humid climates and lower altitudes. The mean source of infection is direct contact with cat feces or from eating undercooked meats. Toxoplasmosis is not passed from person-toperson, except in instances of mother-to-child (congenital) transmission and blood transfusion or organ transplantation. Toxoplasmosis generally presents with mild symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, but women newly infected with Toxoplasma during pregnancy and anyone with a compromised immune system should be aware that toxoplasmosis can have severe consequences for them. Acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women can result in miscarriage, poor growth, early delivery or stillbirth. IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma can be detected with 2-3 weeks after exposure. IgG remains positive, but the antibody level drops overtime.
Toxoplasma IgG/IgM test device has 3 pre-coated lines, “G” (Toxoplasma IgG Test Line), “M” (Toxoplasma IgM Test Line) and “C” (Control Line) on the surface of the membrane. All three lines in result window are not visible before applying any samples. The “Control Line” is used for procedural control. Control line should always appear if the test procedure is performed properly and the test reagents of control line are working. A purple “G” and “M” lines will be visible in the result window if there are enough IgG and/or IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma in the sample. If IgG and/or IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma are not present in the sample, there is no color appearance in “G” and/or “M”.
