Neonatal Toxoplasma gondii IgM FEIA
A fluorometric enzyme immunoassay designed for the quantitative determination of IgM-class antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in dried blood spot samples — enabling effective screening for congenital ....
Overview
Labsystems Diagnostics Neonatal Toxoplasma gondii IgM FEIA is the first neonatal screening test in the world developed for the detection of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT). The assay uses a sensitive fluorometric enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) technique to measure IgM-class antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii from dried blood spots collected on filter paper — ensuring efficient, reliable, and high-throughput screening of newborns. A 5-year study conducted in Brazil screened over 285,000 neonates using this assay and established a prevalence rate of 1:18,867, validating the test’s clinical performance and reliability in large-scale screening programs.
