Amoebic Serology Igg

2,000.00

The Amoebic Serology IgG test detects IgG antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite responsible for amoebiasis (amoebic infection). It is a blood test that helps identify whether a person has been exposed to the parasite, indicating either a current or past infection.
IgG antibodies usually appear several weeks after infection and can persist for months to years, making this test useful for diagnosing extraintestinal amoebiasis (such as liver abscess) or confirming past exposure when stool tests are negative.
