Toxoplasmosis Antibody Blood Test (Toxoplasma IgG & IgM)
Know your immunity and infection status before it matters.
What’s tested
Pick a time
Toxoplasmosis is a common infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Most healthy people who contract it experience mild, flu-like symptoms or none at all, but the infection can be serious for pregnant women, unborn babies, and people with weakened immune systems. This blood test screens for antibodies produced by the body in response to the parasite, helping to determine whether you have a current infection, a past infection, or no previous exposure.
The test is suitable for anyone concerned about possible exposure, including pregnant women, those planning a pregnancy, immunocompromised individuals, and people who have been in contact with cats or contaminated soil or food. It may also be requested as part of a broader infection screen.
Markers included
Toxoplasma Antibodies
- Toxoplasma IgM: indicates a recent or acute infection.
- Toxoplasma IgG: indicates past exposure or immunity.
Why it matters
Identifying whether you have a current or past toxoplasmosis infection helps your doctor assess risk, particularly during pregnancy or if you are immunocompromised. Early detection supports timely management and informed decisions about your care.
No special fasting required. Drink plenty of water prior to your appointment for a smooth blood draw.
- Identification: Photo ID (Passport or Driving Licence) is only required if you need your report for official, employment, visa/travel, premarital, or Identity-Verified Certificate (IVS) purposes (not required for personal health & wellness testing).
This test provides an official, quality-assured laboratory report with reference ranges. These results are for clinical information and do not replace your GP or consultant. Always discuss abnormal results with your GP or specialist in the context of your medical history.
