To assess the performance of PLATELIA Toxo IgM (Bio-Rad) and Toxo ISAGA (BioMérieux) to detect anti- IgM in infants at risk of congenital toxoplasmosis, a retrospective multicenter study was conducted comparing serological results obtained in the framework of routine diagnosis work-up for congenital toxoplasmosis. All infants born to mothers infected with during pregnancy from 2010 to 2020 with at least 6 months of serological follow-up were included ( = 1,010). One thousand ten cases were included, of which 250 infants (24.
