Individual tests

This test measures antibodies against streptolysin O, a substance group A streptococcus bacteria produces. A marked rise or a persistently elevated antibody count indicates that a streptococcus infection or post-streptococcal sequelae are present.
Ascaris lumbricoides is a parasite that causes disease when contaminated food containing its eggs is ingested. Infections are usually asymptomatic, especially if the number of worms is small. However, they may be accompanied by inflammation, fever, diarrhea, and other serious problems. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.

Clonorchis is a liver fluke parasite that can also infect the gallbladder and bile duct. Humans may be infected by eating raw or undercooked fish. While often symptomless, long-term infections can result in severe illness. Detection of specific IgM antibodies provides evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG is evidence of past infection.
Clonorchis is a liver fluke parasite that can also infect the gallbladder and bile duct. Humans can become infected by eating raw or undercooked fish containing this parasite. While most persons do not show symptoms, long-lasting infections can result in serious illness. Detection of specific IgM antibodies can provide evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG is evidence of past infection.
