Detection of acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in early pregnancy by IgG avidity and PCR analysis.
Acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in early pregnancy carries the risk of transmitting the infection to the fetus with serious sequelae. However, serological testing for IgG/IgM anti-Toxoplasma antibodies may fail to differentiate between a recent and past infection. Two hundred and twenty-four Kuwaiti women in their first trimester were screened for IgG/IgM antibodies by the Vitek Immuno Diagno...
متن کاملDetection of Toxoplasma Parasitemia by PCR: Does it Correlate with IgG and IgM Antibody Titers?
Background: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with high seroprevalence worldwide. Several immunological methods have been described for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. Objective: To determine the parasitemia period in patients infected with toxoplasma using PCR and comparing serological data with molecular results. Methods: 154 serum samples from patients with toxoplasmosis were examined. Presenc...

15 صفحه اولWernicke's encephalopathy: a case report and MRI findings.
Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a serious, potentially fatal acute or subacute neurological disorder caused by thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency. Although it is most frequently observed in patients who are chronic alcoholics, WE may also be associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. We report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) findings in this case of WE in a pr...
متن کاملAssessment of toxoplasma IgG avidity test results in pregnant women.
nfection brought about by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), toxoplasmosis, is transmitted to the fetus via the placenta. Infection may progress in the expectant mother totally asymptomatically. However, such infections are particularly significant because of undesired consequences for the fetus. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) avidity tests, which have come into use in recent years, make it possible to dis...
