A total of 70 women with complicated pregnancy and 20 with normal pregnancy were studied to determine the presence of anti-Toxoplasma antibodies in these patients [Egypt; date not given]. They were all rhesus (RH) factor-positive and free from syphilis, brucellosis and malignancy. Anti-Toxoplasma antibodies levels were detected by the indirect haemagglutination tests (IHA-IgG) and by ELISA (IgG and IgM). All controls (normal pregnancy) were IHA-IgG- and ELISA-IgM-negative. However, two of the controls (10%) were ELISA-IgG-positive. 68/70 (97.1%) women with complicated pregnancy were IHAT-positive. When using ELISA, 57/70 or 81.4% were IgG-positive and 42/70 or 60% were IgM-positive. The results revealed a significant difference between the complicated cases and controls. The diagnosis of abortion, stillbirth, premature labour, or neonatal death due to Toxoplasma infection needs careful and laborious evaluation. The use of ELISA (IgG and IgM) is a must, as it is more sensitive and specific than IHAT.
