IgG (HSDA), IgM and IgA (ICT), and IgE (ELISA) levels in 104 pregnant women with toxoplasmic seroconversion (group A1; 417 sera) were calculated; results were grouped according to the estimated date of infection.
Values are means ± standard deviations. IgM and IgA Ab results are agglutination scores (maximum score, 12).
Ab, antibody.
