title: The efficacy of IHAT, IFAT and Dot-ELISA in sero-diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in complicated pregnancies.
abstract: Studying of 72 pregnant women having congenital anomalies, stillbirth and repeated abortion of first and second trimesters showed Toxoplasma antibodies with high titre by IFAT and Dot-ELISA. Analysis of the results showed a positive correlation between IFAT and Dot-ELISA but not with IHAT. However, Dot-ELISA is simple, sensitive and specific.
