Abstract：
:A commercial latex agglutination test for detecting immunoglobulin G antibody to Toxoplasma gondii, the Syn-Kit Toxotest MT, was evaluated in two laboratories against the Sabin-Feldman dye test, the indirect immunofluorescence test, and FIAX. The Toxotest MT was found easy to perform and required no special equipment or training. The latex test was more reactive than the reference procedures but compared favorably with them. Failure to properly detect positive sera in two early acute cases and in three other cases causes concern and suggests caution in using the test for suspected early cases. The Toxotest MT is useful for screening for immunoglobulin G toxoplasma antibody and for determining serologic status in pregnant women.
