What is Cysticercus (Taenia Solium) IgG, CSF?

This test detects IgG antibodies to the Taenia solium parasite directly in your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is specifically used to diagnose neurocysticercosis, an infection of the brain and spinal cord.

Why is this test important?

It is crucial for confirming neurocysticercosis, a serious condition where tapeworm larvae infect the central nervous system. Positive results help guide specific antiparasitic treatment and manage neurological symptoms.

How to Prepare

This test requires a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to collect cerebrospinal fluid. Your doctor will provide specific instructions.
