Understanding Toxoplasma gondii, IgG in Kolkata

What is Toxoplasma gondii, IgG in Kolkata?

A Toxoplasma gondii, IgG test is a blood test used to detect the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, responsible for causing toxoplasmosis infection. This infection can be transmitted to humans primarily by ingestion of undercooked infected meat and maternally through transplacental transmission. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates a previous (past) toxoplasma infection as IgG antibodies can persist in the body for extended periods. It is available at an affordable price in Kolkata with Tata 1mg labs.

A Toxoplasma gondii, IgG test is recommended in individuals exhibiting symptoms of toxoplasmosis, such as flu-like symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, or muscle pain. In some cases, doctors may include this test as a part of routine health screenings, especially for certain high-risk groups that help in monitoring latent infections that may become reactivated. Moreover, a Toxoplasma gondii, IgG test is also done as a part of the TORCH panel, a group of tests that screen for several infections that can potentially affect a growing baby during pregnancy. Fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink as per your normal routine.

What does Toxoplasma gondii, IgG measure?

A Toxoplasma gondii, IgG test measures the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite in the blood. These antibodies indicate a previous (past) exposure to the parasite. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates that you have had an infection, but it does not tell when. A high avidity in the IgG avidity test strongly suggests the infection happened more than 4 months ago. However, a low avidity result alone cannot be used to diagnose when the infection occurred, and further clinical evaluation is needed.

In general, having IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii suggests a certain level of protection, but the effectiveness and duration of this protection can depend on factors such as the individual’s overall health, the strain of the parasite, and other immune-related considerations.
