Toxoplasma IgG Antibody Test

The Toxoplasma IgG Antibody Test measures IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. A positive IgG result typically indicates past exposure and the development of long-term immunity, while a negative result suggests no prior exposure. This test is commonly used during pregnancy, before organ transplantation, or in individuals with weakened immune systems to help assess prior infection and potential risk. Results provide valuable information for evaluating immune status and guiding further testing when recent or active infection is suspected.
