Comparative evaluation of IIF and EIA methods for serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis.
A comparative evaluation between IIF and EIA methods for serological diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis has been carried out testing 920 serum samples. Both methods have been considered as equally valuable and accurate. The Authors prefer to utilize the IIF for screening purposes and EIA, which has been more sensitive at intermediate range of values, for the follow-up of the different immunological responses against Toxoplasma gondii.
