What is Toxoplasma IgG?

The Toxoplasma IgG test checks for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite. These antibodies indicate a past exposure or infection, meaning your body has developed immunity to the parasite. It helps determine if you have previously been infected with toxoplasmosis.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy, as a primary infection during gestation can be harmful to the fetus. A positive IgG with a negative IgM usually indicates a past, non-active infection, providing reassurance regarding current risk.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
