Amoebiasis Antibody IgG Test

Anti-E. histolytica IgG Antibody Test

Serum Amoebiasis Test

The Amoebiasis Antibody IgG Test is a diagnostic blood test used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite responsible for amoebiasis. IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to an amoebic infection.

The test is valuable for diagnosing amoebiasis, an intestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica.
A positive result indicates exposure to the parasite, while a negative result does not rule out the possibility of amoebic infection.
Results should be interpreted by an infectious disease specialist or healthcare provider in the context of the patient's symptoms and medical history.
