Understanding the test
What does the Toxoplasma Antibody (IgG) test measure?
Also called Toxoplasma Immunity (IgG)
This measurement may support assessment of past toxoplasma exposure when timing is clinically important, including pregnancy or immune suppression.
When it may be requested
Identifying evidence of past infection
IgG can persist for years after exposure to Toxoplasma.
Reviewing results in pregnancy
When timing matters, a specialist may use additional tests and previous specimens.

Your checklist
No fasting is needed. Mention pregnancy, its stage if relevant, possible recent exposure, immune suppression and any previous toxoplasma testing.
A clinician takes a small sample of blood from a vein. The laboratory uses serum, the liquid separated from the blood after it clots.

Reading your result
Detectable IgG can persist. Dating an infection may require earlier results, other antibody tests and specialist interpretation.
What can affect it
- IgG alone cannot date an infection or diagnose a fetal infection.

Patient questions
Before you book
Can a positive IgG tell me whether infection happened during pregnancy?
No. Previous results and additional specialist testing may be needed to establish timing. Discuss a new concern promptly with your maternity clinician.
I am pregnant and my toxoplasma IgG is reactive. What does that mean?
A reactive IgG means you have had a Toxoplasma infection at some point. It cannot tell whether that happened before or during this pregnancy. Bring any earlier results and tell your maternity clinician how far along you are. They may request additional antibody or specialist testing to clarify the timing.
What is the difference between toxoplasma IgG and IgM?
IgG shows that you have met the parasite at some point and carry immune memory, but it cannot date the infection. IgM is used to look for a recent infection, yet it can give misleading positives and can stay detectable long after the illness has passed. That is why recent infection is judged from IgG, IgM and avidity testing together, with specialist interpretation.
