About test
What does ECHINOCOCCUS - IGG measure?
This test measures IgG antibodies to Echinococcus, a parasite associated with echinococcosis (hydatid disease). It may be used to support evaluation when a healthcare professional suspects current or past exposure to this parasite, often alongside medical history, imaging findings, and other laboratory tests. Results should be interpreted in clinical context, as antibody levels alone may not confirm active infection.
