ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA – IGG

The Entamoeba histolytica IgG test detects IgG antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica, a parasitic amoeba that causes amebiasis. This test is used to diagnose amebiasis, which can result in intestinal and extraintestinal infections, such as liver abscesses. A positive Entamoeba histolytica IgG test indicates past or current infection, prompting further evaluation and appropriate treatment. The test is valuable for identifying individuals with amebiasis, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing complications and ensuring successful management of the disease.
