PG  - 107-10
AB  - Simultaneous estimation of specific immunoglobulins M,A,E was tested in sera of 
      57 patients with confirmed acquired toxoplasmosis (24 acute and 33 subacute or 
      chronic) using immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA) and immunofluorescent 
      tests (toxoplasma antibody-total and IgM). The antigen for ISAGA was prepared 
      from tissue cultures HeLa infected with Toxoplasma gondii virulent strain P. 
      Toxoplasmas were maintained in tissue cultures continuously for 18 years. High 
      levels of IgM antibodies were found in all 24 patients during the acute phase of 
      toxoplasmosis (0-5 month after onset). IgA antibodies were found also in all but 
      one and IgE in 71% of these patients. IgM antibodies persisted for the longest 
      period and it was possible to find them in 14% of patients 3 years or longer 
      after the onset, IgA antibodies persisted for 9 months similarly as IgE (with one 
      exception after 2 years). Simultaneous estimation of specific immunoglobulins 
      M,A,E combined with immunofluorescent tests makes the diagnosis of Toxoplasma 
      infection more reliable.
