Fig. 1 Quantitative results obtained with four anti-Toxoplasma antibody tests—(a) IgA ELISA; (b) IgE ELISA; (c) IgM ELISA; and (d) IgG avidity test—performed with 231 samples for which the period between the onset of clinical symptoms and sampling was up to 36 months. ELISA tests were considered positive if the positivity index was >1.1; avidity was considered low if the avidity index was ≤0.3.
