TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION test to detect the presence of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in a patient’s sample. This diagnostic test is commonly used to identify cases of toxoplasmosis, a disease that can affect various organs in the body.
Test Details
The TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test is performed using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It amplifies and detects specific DNA sequences of the Toxoplasma parasite in a patient’s sample. The test can be conducted on a blood sample, as well as other body fluids or tissues.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Patients with symptoms suggestive of toxoplasmosis, such as fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes, may be advised to undergo the TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test. This test can confirm the presence of Toxoplasma gondii DNA and help in diagnosing the disease accurately.
Test Cost and Components
The TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION test is priced at 840.0 AED. The sample condition required for the test includes 4 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Lavender top (EDTA) tube OR 3 mL (2 mL min.) Amniotic fluid / CSF / Urine / Cord blood in a sterile screw capped container OR Chorionic Villus biopsy in normal saline. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and should not be frozen.
Report Delivery and Test Type
The report for the TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION test is delivered on Tuesdays and Saturdays by 11 am. The test type includes Abortions and Infections.
Test Department and Doctor
The TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION test is conducted in our MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS department. It can be ordered by a Physician or Gynecologist.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the TOXOPLASMA DNA DETECTION test.
Reliability and Usage
The TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test is highly sensitive and specific, making it one of the most reliable methods for diagnosing toxoplasmosis. However, it is important to note that this test is not routinely performed as a screening test. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s symptoms and medical history.
If you suspect you may have toxoplasmosis or have been advised to undergo the TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance and order the appropriate tests.

| Test Details |
The TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in a patient’s sample. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis, a disease that can affect the brain, eyes, and other organs. The test is typically performed on a blood sample, although it can also be done on other body fluids or tissues. It uses a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect specific DNA sequences of the Toxoplasma parasite. The TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test is often used in cases where a patient has symptoms suggestive of toxoplasmosis, such as fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in individuals with confirmed toxoplasmosis. The test is highly sensitive and specific, meaning it can accurately detect the presence of Toxoplasma DNA and differentiate it from other similar DNA sequences. It is considered one of the most reliable methods for diagnosing toxoplasmosis. It is important to note that the TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test is not routinely performed as a screening test, but rather as a confirmatory test in individuals suspected of having toxoplasmosis. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s symptoms and medical history. If you suspect you may have toxoplasmosis or have been advised to undergo the TOXOPLASMA DNA detection test, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance and order the appropriate tests. |
