What is Entamoeba (Amoebiasis) Histolytica IgG Antibody?
This blood test detects IgG antibodies produced by your immune system in response to an infection with Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite that causes amoebiasis. These antibodies indicate a past or current invasive infection.
Why is this test important?
The presence of IgG antibodies suggests an invasive form of amoebiasis, which can affect organs beyond the intestines, such as the liver (amoebic liver abscess). It helps diagnose extra-intestinal amoebiasis or confirm a past infection.
How to Prepare
