The genomic DNA was extracted from the patients\u2019 serum and PBMCs and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was performed using bradyzoite genes along with B1.

In three patients (42.8%), the PCR results were positive for MAG-1 and SAG-4 and in one patient (14.3%) the PCR results were only positive for the B1 gene. The PCR results were positive only in the PBMCs, whereas they were negative in the serum samples. Two patients with positive PCR results showed high Toxoplasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titres. However, none of the patients showed positive Toxoplasma IgM antibodies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The PBMCs are suitable for evaluating toxoplasmic chorioretinitis.
