I have Toxoplasma IGG 280 instead of below 15.

Is it like cpn or bart where an persistend Infection only produces IGG antibodies?

Or is a positive IGM neccesary for a persistent infection in toxoplasmosis?

Have your doctor talk with this lab (they do not accept calls from patients).

Your blood may need to be tested at this lab to know if you have an infection or not. I would pursue this area with your doctor and not ignore that antibody titer.

I can't specifically answer your question on toxoplasmosis IGG and IGM.

I was positive on whole blood PCR test for toxoplasmosis and was treated with Daraprim and Zithromax, along with Folinic acid.

Toxo is a parasite/protozoa like babesia. You may want to consider treating, and see how you feel. If you don't feel any benefit, then you can assume it is not persistent.
