TI  - Bicentric evaluation of Access Toxo immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG assays and IMx 
      toxo IgM and IgG assays and comparison with Platelia Toxo IgM and IgG assays.
PG  - 1606-9
AB  - The recent Access immunoanalysis system (Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur) for the 
      serological diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was compared with the Abbott Toxo IMx EIA 
      system, taking the Platelia Toxo immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Platelia Toxo IgM 
      systems as references and using as confirmation methods an indirect fluorescence 
      assay or a dye test for IgG and an immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA) for 
      IgM. A total of 1,461 serum samples were studied, of which 128 were collected 
      from 42 recently seroconverted patients. Sensitivity and specificity rates of the 
      Access system were 97.7 and 99.5%, respectively, for IgM and 98.6 and 100%, 
      respectively, for IgG. Sensitivity and specificity rates of the Abbott IMx EIA 
      system were 91 and 100%, respectively, for IgM and 92.5 and 100%, respectively, 
      for IgG. The Access Toxo IgG and IgM EIA systems were found to be more sensitive 
      than the Abbott Toxo IgG and IgM IMx EIA systems.
