What is Toxocara Antibody (IgG), Serum?
The Toxocara Antibody (IgG) test detects antibodies produced by your immune system in response to an infection with Toxocara roundworms. These parasites are commonly found in the intestines of dogs and cats, and humans can become infected by accidentally ingesting their eggs.
Why is this test important?
This test helps diagnose toxocariasis, a parasitic infection that can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, affecting organs like the liver, lungs, or eyes. A positive IgG result indicates past or present exposure to the parasite.
