Description
Summary:	In this study, toxoplasma antibodies were evaluated by using IFA, ELISA IgG, ELISA IgM, IHA and direct agglutination test in serum samples obtained from reproductive women. The specificity, sensitivity, unit costing and timing of tests compared with IFA test. In this evaluation IFA test are used. ELISA IgG specificity 98%, sensitivity 97.5%; IHA specificity 90%, sensitivity 97.5%; direct agglutination specificity 92%, sensitivity 95% have been found.
