Background	Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis, a common disease that affects 30-50 of every 100 people in North America by the time they are adults. The mean source of infection is direct contact with cat feces or from eating undercooked meats. Toxoplasmosis generally presents with mild symptoms in immunocompetent individuals; in the immunocompromised patient, however, the infection can have serious consequences. Acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women can result in result in miscarriage, poor growth, early delivery or stillbirth. Treatment of an infected pregnant woman may prevent or lessen the disease in her unborn child. Treatment of an infected infant will also lessen the severity of the disease as the child grows. IgG and IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma can be detected with 2-3 weeks after exposure. IgG remains positive, but the antibody level drops overtime. ELISA can detect Toxoplasma IgM antibody after one year after infection in over 50% of patients. Therefore, IgM positive results should be evaluated further with one or two follow up samples if primary infection is suspected.
