title: Diagnostic protocols for lymphoglandular toxoplasmosis.
abstract: The diagnostic protocol for lymph node toxoplasmosis presented in this study is based on the following sequence: 1. specific serologic tests (IHAT, IFAT, IgM-IFAT) on total serum and on purified IgM serum fraction, performed twice, within a time interval of 21-28 days; 2. Lymph node biopsy for histologic studies and for isolation of the parasite in mice (biologic test). A critical analysis is reported for 20 cases submitted to this protocol in the course of the year 1980.
