Initial results with the Elecsys Toxo IgG Avidity assay showed some potential for interpretation of a very low or very high index result. We aimed to examine these new insights into interpretation using a large panel of serum samples and to define the optimal thresholds. A total of 741 patient serum samples with known date of infection (from a few weeks to more than 9 months after infection), were analysed with the Elecsys Toxo IgG Avidity assay. Values ≥80% (threshold defined by the manufacturer) were reported in 289 sera; 288 sera were sampled more than 4 months after infection. Thus, avidity values ≥80% excluded an infection less than 4 months. Avidity values ≥90% were reported in 112 sera sampled more than 9 months after infection. Thus, avidity values ≥90% excluded infection less than 9 months. Moreover avidity values ≤15% were reported in the 62 sera sampled less than 3 months after infection. Thus avidity values ≤15% excluded infection more than 3 months.
