      of problem cases].
PG  - 104-8
AB  - Congenital toxoplasmosis may be symptomatic or asymptomatic at the time of birth. 
      In the latter case late manifestations may occur which can be avoided by early 
      diagnosis and treatment. In comparison with the IgM-IFT we demonstrate the 
      specificity and high sensitivity of a recently available immunosorbent 
      agglutination assay (ISAGA) for the detection of IgM against toxoplasma. We also 
      present evidence for the high diagnostic value of the ISAGA in cases where 
      congenital toxoplasmosis is suspected. Based on the presented data we propose a 
      pattern of diagnostic methods for the diagnosis or exclusion of congenital 
      toxoplasmosis in newborns.
