Echinococcus sp Ab.IgG

This test detects IgG antibodies against Echinococcus, a parasitic tapeworm that causes echinococcosis, a serious infection from ingesting contaminated food or water. The parasites form cysts in organs like the liver, lungs, or brain, potentially causing organ damage. IgG antibodies indicate past or current infection. This test is particularly important in endemic regions and for travelers with exposure risk. Diagnosis guides surgical or medical treatment.
