Introduction
Core changes in the standard revision
| Revision dimensions | 2013 version | Current standard |
|---|---|---|
| Terminology | 2 core terms | New definition of Toxoplasma infection |
| Specimen management | Basic collection requirements | Detailed processing specifications for 5 types of specimens |
| Detection technology | Conventional PCR | New Next-generation sequencing technology |
Key detection technical specifications
1. Etiological examination
Direct microscopic examination Note: After Giemsa staining, tachyzoites are crescent-shaped (3-7×2-4μm), with blue cytoplasm and purple-red nuclei. The thickness of tissue sections should be controlled at 7-10μm.
2. Nucleic acid detection
Recommended target gene priority: B1 gene>AF146527>SAG1. When the real-time fluorescence PCR cycle threshold (Ct value) is >35, it should be interpreted with caution.
3. Antibody Testing
| Antibody Type | Time of Occurrence | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| IgM | 1 week after infection | A marker of the acute phase, may continue to have false positives |
| IgG | 1-2 weeks | Avidity testing can distinguish recent/past infection |
Laboratory Grading Implementation Plan
Required Capabilities of Initial Screening Laboratories
- At least conduct IgG/IgM combined testing
- Chemiluminescence assay (CLIA) is preferred
- Suspicious samples should be sent to the confirmation laboratory
Additional requirements for confirmation laboratories
- Need to have the ability to pathological examination
- Nucleic acid detection specificity>>98%
- Tissue culture (optional)
Special population testing strategy
Pregnant screening:IgG/IgM screening should be completed in early pregnancy, and IgG affinity testing should be performed if IgM is positive. Amniotic fluid PCR is recommended to be performed after 18 weeks of pregnancy.
HIV-infected people:When CD4+<100/μL, IgG positive indicates the risk of reactivation, and regular monitoring of blood nucleic acid is recommended.
