Abstract

Human Toxoplasma IgG is a serological marker of imported Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans, providing insights into immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against T. gondii. Serological tests are the most widely used tools for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. In most laboratories, indirect serological tests such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are performed routinely. The ELISA test is commonly used to detect anti-toxoplasma IgG or IgM antibodies. IgG-anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were determined in 120 adult women, aged between 19-45 years, with no history of pregnancy, using the indirect ELISA method. Of these, 62 women had a negative test for IgG-anti-T. Gondii antibodies and 58 women were positive (48.33%). Positivity was 4 times higher for women aged between 20-29 years. The high positivity in women aged 19 years was statistically irrelevant.
