In vitro anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibody production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the diagnosis and the monitoring of toxoplasmic encephalitis

The spontaneous secretion in vitro of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by peripheral blood mononuclear celsl was assessed in 69 patients with AIDS-related brain lesions. The sensitivity and specificity of this assay in the diagnosis of toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) were found to be 85.4% and 92.8%,...
