ECHINOCOCCUS – IGG

The Echinococcus IgG test detects IgG antibodies against Echinococcus, a parasitic tapeworm that causes echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease. This test is used to diagnose echinococcosis, which can affect the liver, lungs, and other organs. A positive Echinococcus IgG test indicates an immune response to the parasite, suggesting an active or past infection. The test is valuable for identifying individuals with echinococcosis, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing complications and ensuring successful management of the disease.
