Cysticercosis IgM

Angiostrongylus cantonensis, also known as rat lungworm, is a parasite that can infect humans when they consume undercooked or raw snails, slugs, or other animals. The worm larvae can invade the central nervous system and cause eosinophilic meningitis. To diagnose rat lungworm infection, IgM and IgG tests are used to detect antibodies against this parasite. IgM test: This test detects IgM antibodies, a type of antibody that usually appears early after infection. A positive IgM result may indicate a recent or active infection.

The Trichinella spiralis IgM test is a useful tool for early detection of trichinosis, a parasitic infection caused by consuming raw or undercooked meat. By detecting IgM antibodies, which appear soon after infection, this test helps accurately diagnose trichinosis. If you experience symptoms such as muscle pain, fever, fatigue, swelling around the eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting, consider taking this test. The simple procedure involves taking a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. A positive result confirms that you have been infected with Trichinella spiralis, while a negative result may indicate that you are not infected or the test was done too early for detection.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis, also known as rat lungworm, is a parasite that can infect humans when they consume undercooked or raw snails, slugs, or other animals. The worm larvae can invade the central nervous system and cause eosinophilic meningitis. To diagnose rat lungworm infection, IgM and IgG tests are used to detect antibodies against this parasite. IgG test: This test detects IgG antibodies, a type of antibody that usually appears later in the course of infection and can persist for a long time after the infection has been resolved. A positive IgG result may indicate a past or chronic infection.

This test is a quantitative test to measure the amount of IgG antibodies of Echinococcus in blood.
