IgG antibodies indicate a past infection and suggest long-term immunity. IgM antibodies are usually found during a recent or active infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you screen for Toxoplasmosis IgG and IgM?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScreening for Toxoplasmosis IgG and IgM is crucial for pregnant women and individuals with a weakened immune system. It determines whether a person has been recently infected or infected in the past. This is important for assessing the health risks to the pregnant woman and the fetus, and for determining if further measures are necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe presence of IgM antibodies indicates a recent infection with Toxoplasma gondii, while IgG antibodies indicate a past infection and long-term immunity. The ratio and levels of these antibodies help determine the timing of the infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high IgG level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high IgG level indicates a past infection with Toxoplasma gondii and that the body has developed immunity. For pregnant women, this means there is a low risk of transmission of the infection to the fetus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high IgM level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high IgM level indicates a recent or active Toxoplasma gondii infection. This is particularly important for pregnant women, as it may pose a risk to the fetus and requires immediate medical attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a low level of IgG and IgM mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow levels of IgG and IgM indicate that there is no recent infection and possibly no previous exposure to Toxoplasma gondii. This may suggest that a person is susceptible to infection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47751230456154,"sku":"","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6816\/2394\/files\/ToxoplasmoseIgGenIgM.png?v=1755941755","url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/products\/toxoplasmose-igg-en-igm","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
