摘要：

We compared the Vitek immunodiagnostic assay for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) toxoplasma antibodies (VIDAS TXM) with an IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which we developed. A total of 407 serum samples from 391 adults were used for this study. We also examined 17 serial serum samples from four women who had seroconverted during gestation. We observed a sensitivity of 99.5%, a specificity of 93%, a positive predictive value of 93.6%, a negative predictive value of 99.5%, and a global agreement of 96%. In each case of seroconversion the VIDAS TXM became positive at the same time as did the IgM ELISA.
