Abstract

ABSTRACT The serological diagnosis of toxoplasmic infection during pregnancy is intended to prevent congenital infection of the fetus. However, in the context of recurrent pregnancy loss intravenous immunoglobulin therapy can create a biological trap for the interpretation of serological results, with potentially serious consequences for the outcome of the pregnancy.
