Diagnostic significance of the presence of specific anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgA antibodies was discussed with particular reference to the cases of congenital toxoplasmosis and infections in pregnant women. Furthermore, the possibilities of testing for anti-Toxoplasma IgA antibodies with commercially available diagnostic kits were presented. From amongst the examined 5 diagnostic kits, Platelia Toxo IgA and ISAGA Plus IgA/IgM showed the highest sensitivity and specificity.
