Parasites

It is a quantitative test to measure the level of IgG antibodies of Schistosoma in blood.
Strongyloides are parasites that enter the body through exposed skin. Most cases are symptomless, but a more severe form may develop if left untreated. Symptoms include stomachache, intermittent diarrhea and constipation, nausea, and a red rash where the worm enters the skin. This test screens suspected cases of strongyloidiasis and detects asymptomatic chronic or latent infections in endemic areas and immuno-compromised patients (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma) or before initiating steroid therapy.
Aiding in the diagnosis of Toxocara infection.
It is a quantitative test to measure the level of IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma in the blood.
Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by a parasite, is mostly symptomless except for those with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy. Problems can include damage to the brain, eyes, and other organs. It is mainly transmitted through contact with waste from an infected cat or eating contaminated meat.
Trichinella spiralis is a parasite that causes disease in humans. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney, heart, or brain damage, and even death. This test is considered a screening test for Trichinella spiralis. A trichinosis diagnosis requires a compatible patient history and supporting pathologic findings.
