Disímiles son los métodos serológicos empleados para la determinación de anticuerpos IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii en diferentes muestras de estudio. El objetivo es realizar una comparación entre el método de Inmunofluorescencia Indirecta y el Toxoplasma látex porBrunella para demostrar cual es el método más sensible y específico para determinar seroprevalencia de anticuerpos IgG anti- Toxoplasma gondii en neonatos asistidos en la Sala de Neonatología del Hospital Valdimir Ilich Lenin.
