Understanding Toxoplasma Antibodies Panel, IgG & IgM in Asansol

What does Toxoplasma Antibodies Panel, IgG & IgM measure?

Contains 2 tests

The Toxoplasma Antibodies Panel, IgG & IgM measures two types of antibodies: immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to Toxoplasma gondii infection. IgM antibodies appear within one to two weeks after the infection and indicate a recent or active infection. They are typically detectable for a few months but may reappear if the infection reactivates. On the other hand, IgG antibodies develop after the initial infection and remain in the blood for life, indicating past exposure and immunity to the parasite.

By analyzing these antibodies, the test helps determine whether a person is currently infected with Toxoplasma gondii or if they have been exposed in the past. It provides vital information for managing the infection, especially in pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems.
