Laboratory diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection
International Journal of Medical Sciences , 03/30/09

Calderaro A et al. - Amplification of T. gondii DNA is a useful tool to support or confirm the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in subjects with IgG positive for T. gondii as the cause of the retinal lesions in both aqueous humor and vitreous fluid in humans, considering that the detection of local specific antibodies may only provide indirect evidence of ocular infection. Moreover, it's important to highlight that FRET PCR is able to detect the presence of T. gondii DNA on a small amount of sample as it was in our experience from ocular compartment.
