The calibration and qc were acceptable.The sample was received for investigation.The investigation results were: the elecsys toxo igm result was 0.480 coi (non-reactive).The elecsys toxo igg result was >650 iu/ml (reactive).The elecsys toxo igg avidity result was 58 avi% (low).The result with the in-house neutralization assay was neutralizable (remaining titer of 14.8%).The neutralization assay confirmed the presence of specific toxoplasma igg antibodies in the patient¿s sample.The biorad platelia toxo igm result was 1.25 coi (reactive).The mikrogen toxo igm recomline blot result was reactive.The customer's non-reactive result with elecsys toxo igm was reproducible.The investigation determined the sample results are consistent with a recent infection with toxoplasma gondii, which was captured by elecsys toxo igg but not by elecsys toxo igm with the provided sample.Product labeling states: "a negative toxo igm test result, also in combination with a positive toxo igg result, does not completely rule out the possibility of an acute infection with toxoplasma gondii", since "in some individuals toxoplasma igm-specific antibodies may revert to non-reactive levels within few weeks after infection with t.Gondii".The investigation did not identify a product problem.
