PG  - 73-8
AB  - Serum samples from 702 persons were examined for Toxoplasma-specific 
      IgM-antibodies using the immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA) and the 
      immunofluorescence-test (IIFT). 250 samples showed a positive reaction in the 
      Sabin-Feldman-test (SFT) with titers greater than or equal to 1: 1 024, 58% were 
      positive in ISAGA and 36% in the IIFT. Samples of persons with acute 
      Toxoplasma-infection, showed high titers in the ISAGA and SFT as well, even in 
      cases where the IgM-IIFT was negative. SFT-negative sera and others with 
      weakly-positive reactions and also rheuma-positive samples were negative in the 
      ISAGA. It is discussed how far it is possible to determine the duration of the 
      Toxoplasma infection by applying the ISAGA in combination with other antibody 
      tests.
