ABSTRACT
Sera from 50 patients were examined with conventional ELISA, IFA and Toxolatex Fumouze. Out of 50 specimens only 3 false positive cases were detected with Toxolatex Fumouze as compared with the results of ELISA & IFA tests. Toxolatex Fumouze represents a rapid, highly sensitive and specific technique for screening of specific antibodies against toxoplasmosis, but due to false negative results, sera from patients at risk of severe toxoplasmosis (fetus, HIV+, transplant, immunosupressed) should be tested with other serological methods such as the dye test, DS-ELISA and ISAGA.
