Abstract
There are number of tests that can be used in diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis. The clinical findings should always be supported by serological tests for a definitive diagnosis. A four fold use in the titre, or a titre of over 1:32 for IgM should be sought for the diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis. In this article the validity of the IgG and IgM antibody titres in diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis and congenital toxoplasmosis are discussed.
