What is Echinoccocus IgG, Serum?

This blood test detects IgG antibodies produced by your immune system in response to an Echinococcus infection. Echinococcus is a parasitic tapeworm that can cause hydatid disease in humans.

Why is this test important?

It's used to diagnose or confirm exposure to Echinococcus, particularly in individuals with symptoms like abdominal pain, cysts in organs (liver, lungs), or a history of exposure to infected animals. Early detection is crucial for managing hydatid disease.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
