Article Synopsis
- Symptomatic toxoplasmosis affects about 10-20% of those infected, posing significant public health issues, especially in Brazil.
- This study aimed to enhance the molecular diagnosis of symptomatic toxoplasmosis by comparing the efficacy of two primer sets (B1 and REP-529) in detecting Toxoplasma gondii DNA through real-time PCR in 807 clinical samples.
- The results showed that REP-529 was more sensitive, detecting T. gondii DNA in 97.23% of positive samples, compared to 78.80% for B1, thereby supporting its use as a more effective diagnostic tool.
