![]() gondii ( IgG) among patients attending different HIV clinics in the Vhembe district with no current infections among pregnant women. Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM and associated risk factors among HIV- positive and HIV-negative patients in Vhembe district of South Africa. Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii IgG and IgM and associated risk. No seropositivity significant relationship was found between patients and control group.Conclusion: According to the prevalence of positive cases in these patients, it is necessary to examine the patients for toxoplasmosis before, during and after chemotherapy. Comparing the age groups, the highest seropositive rate showed in the age of 51 years or higher, and their rates had tendency to increase with age in both groups. There were no significant differences between sex, close contact with cat, living region, chemotherapy, and seropositivity rate of toxoplasmosis in patients. In control group 92 (36.5% cases and 15 (6% cases revealed seropositive for IgG and IgM antibodies, respectively. Results: The results of this study revealed the presence of Toxoplasma antibodies in 114 (45.2% cases of patients who were positive for Toxoplasma IgG antibodies, and 26 (10.3% cases were confirmed to be positive for Toxoplasma IgM antibodies and also 17 (6.7% of cases had both IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii. Serum samples of patients were examined for IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA technique using Trinity kits. Patient's information was recorded in a questionnaire before sampling. In-house IgG ELISA was shown to be useful as an early diagnostic tool for melioidosis.ĭetermination of Antibodies ( IgG, IgM against Toxoplasma gondii in Patients with Cancerĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available Background: The aim of this study was determination of antibodies ( IgG, IgM against Toxoplasma in malignant patients in order to refer the patients on time to the physician for treatment.Methods: This study was carried out on 252 malignant patients and 252 healthy normal subjects (as control obtained from Shafa Hospital and Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (Iran-Zamin, in Ahwaz city. ![]() The diagnostic accuracy of the in-house IgG ELISA was better than that of the IgM ELISA: sensitivity ( IgG: 84.71 %, IgM: 76.14 %) and specificity ( IgG: 93.64 %, IgM: 90.17 %) positive predictive value ( IgG: 86.75 %, IgM: 79.76 %) and negative predictive value ( IgG: 92.57 %, IgM: 89.66 %) likelihood ratio (LR), and was supported by the observation of the absorbance value in comparisons between culture and serology sampling. This study compared the efficacy of in-house IgM and IgG ELISA methods using a local B. The high mortality rate and broad range of clinical presentations require rapid and accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment. However, the incidence rate in Malaysia is not well documented. Melioidosis is an endemic infectious disease in Southeast Asia and northern Australia, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Hii, Shirley Yi Fen Ali, Noor Azila Ahmad, Norazah Amran, Fairuz Comparison of in-house IgM and IgG ELISAs for the serodiagnosis of melioidosis in Malaysia.
