al-salamo 3alaykom
here is the thing
i started my intern year in immunology lab
and i have been given a case to solve
the thing is i can`t find a suitable explanation
the case is
a sample received for ANC ( antenatal care ) testing
HBsAg is negative
Toxo-G is weak positive
and Toxo-M is weak positive
Rubella-G is weak positive
and Rubella-M is negative
the lady is in the first trimester
i thought that she might have been exposed to toxo and rubella but not infected
but that does not explain the positive igM for toxo
please help me out i haven`t seen a true case like that so i have no idea what to think
also could someone suggest a good text book for immunology
i have one but it`s quite diffecult to follow
thanx a lot
loola
