RESUMO
Platelia-Toxo IgA and IMx Toxo IgA assays were used with 260 serum samples, of which 93 were from seroconverted patients, 58 were from 21 congenitally infected children, and 109 were from uninfected patients, to detect anti-P30 immunoglobulin A antibodies. Because of its enhanced sensitivity, Platelia-Toxo IgA is more efficient in diagnosing acute or congenital toxoplasmosis. IMx Toxo IgA must not be used to diagnose congenital toxoplasmosis.
