What is Toxoplasma Avidity?

The Toxoplasma Avidity test helps determine if a Toxoplasma infection is recent or occurred in the distant past. It measures the binding strength (avidity) of IgG antibodies to the Toxoplasma parasite, which changes over time after infection.

Why is this test important?

This test is particularly important for pregnant women who test positive for Toxoplasma antibodies, as a recent infection during pregnancy poses a higher risk to the fetus. High avidity suggests an older infection, while low avidity indicates a more recent one.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
