[Toxoplasmosis. Diagnostic considerations. Results of various studies]

Toxoplasmosis as a human disease is briefly described. Concerned investigations developed in Cuba and some aspects of immunological tests performed in our country are pointed out. Results of studies conducted at the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology between 1974 and 1978 are disclosed, and an increase of the number of tests is evidenced. In the thesis work of Dr. G. Delgado it was proved the high sensitivity of the complement fixation test regarding toxoplasmin. For these reasons, it is desirable the decentralization of the laboratory diagnosis of this disease.
