Toxoplasma gondii IgM Antibody

This test measures IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. IgM antibodies may be present during a recent or ongoing infection, although results need to be interpreted with other tests and clinical information. A healthcare professional may order this test when toxoplasmosis is suspected, including during pregnancy, in people with weakened immune systems, or when certain eye, neurological, or flu-like symptoms are being evaluated.
