Comparison of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and indirect haemagglutination test in serologic diagnosis of toxoplasmosis.
The antibody response against Toxoplasma gondii was evaluated by ELISA and indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) in 100 antenatal cases with bad obstetric history. 30 per cent of the cases were found to be positive by the IgM ELISA test and 22 per cent were positive by the IHA test. ELISA was found to be a more specific, reliable and easy test for screening of antenatal cases.
