Individual tests

It is a quantitative test to measure the level of IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma in the blood.
Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by a parasite, is mostly symptomless except for those with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy. Problems can include damage to the brain, eyes, and other organs. It is mainly transmitted through contact with waste from an infected cat or eating contaminated meat.
Trichinella spiralis is a parasite that causes disease in humans. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney, heart, or brain damage, and even death. This test is considered a screening test for Trichinella spiralis. A trichinosis diagnosis requires a compatible patient history and supporting pathologic findings.
Second-trimester prenatal screening includes several blood tests that assess the risk of having a baby with certain genetic conditions or birth defects. Screening is usually done between the 14th and 22nd weeks of pregnancy (the 16th to 18th is ideal). A triple test includes AFP, hCG, and Estriol. Any abnormal result requires more testing. Usually, an ultrasound, or even an amniocentesis, may be needed for an accurate diagnosis.
