title: [Serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis using the IgM immunosorbent agglutination assay].
abstract: Sera of 155 patients were analyzed for toxoplasmosis, using ELISA test for IgM, ELISA test for IgG and ISAGA test for IgM. IgM-ISAGA was positive in 92.86% of acute cases, and in the group of patients with chronic infection in 6.36% of them. Comparing findings of ISAGA test for IgM with ELISA test for IgM obtained for all of 155 patients, ISAGA test's for IgM sensitivity was 93.3%, its specificity 95.3%, negative predictive value was 99.3%, and its positive predictive value was 66.6%.
