What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, or fatigue that won't go away. It helps determine if you've been exposed to Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite often transmitted through cat feces or undercooked meat. This test is especially important for pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, or anyone who wants to confirm whether their immune system has responded to this infection.

What's included in this test?

Toxoplasma Antibody (Igg)

This test measures IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in your blood. IgG antibodies indicate whether your immune system has encountered this parasite before, helping to determine if you have immunity or evidence of past infection. This information is crucial for assessing your risk level, especially if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or have a weakened immune system.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your antibody levels mean and whether you have evidence of past or current infection. These notes include personalized guidance on whether you need further testing, precautions to take if you're pregnant or immunocompromised, and lifestyle recommendations to avoid reinfection. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature, which is helpful if you need ongoing monitoring.

Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, people with weakened immune systems (such as those with HIV or undergoing chemotherapy), and anyone experiencing unexplained symptoms like swollen glands or persistent fatigue. Cat owners, people who handle raw meat regularly, or those who've been advised by their doctor to check for toxoplasmosis exposure should also consider testing.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include flu-like illness with fever, swollen lymph nodes (especially in the neck), muscle aches, fatigue that lasts for weeks, and headaches. Some people experience blurred vision or eye pain if the infection affects the eyes. However, many people with toxoplasmosis have no symptoms at all, which is why testing is important if you're pregnant or immunocompromised.
How can I prevent toxoplasmosis?
Avoid handling cat litter if pregnant or have someone else change it daily while wearing gloves. Always cook meat to safe temperatures (at least 160°F), wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, and avoid unpasteurized dairy products. Wear gloves when gardening or handling soil, wash hands thoroughly after outdoor activities, and keep cats indoors and feed them only commercial cat food to reduce their infection risk.
What is Toxoplasma gondii and why does it matter?
Toxoplasma gondii is a common parasite found worldwide that infects many animals, especially cats. About 23% of Americans carry this parasite without knowing it because healthy immune systems usually keep it dormant. However, it can cause serious complications during pregnancy or in people with weakened immunity, making testing important for at-risk individuals to protect their health or their baby's development.
What does a positive IgG result mean?
A positive IgG result means you've been exposed to Toxoplasma gondii in the past and your immune system created antibodies against it. This usually indicates immunity and lower risk of reinfection, which can be reassuring if you're pregnant. However, your doctor may recommend additional testing to determine if the infection is recent or old, especially if you're in a high-risk category.
What does a negative IgG result mean?
A negative result means you haven't been exposed to Toxoplasma gondii and don't have antibodies against it. While this means you're not currently infected, it also means you don't have immunity and should take precautions to avoid exposure, especially if you're pregnant or planning pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend retesting if you develop symptoms or have ongoing exposure risks.
How often should I retest for Toxoplasma antibodies?
If you're pregnant and test negative, your doctor may recommend retesting each trimester to catch any new infections early. People with weakened immune systems may need periodic monitoring as determined by their healthcare provider. If you tested positive once, you generally don't need retesting unless you develop new symptoms or your immune status changes significantly.
