The Echinococcus IgG Antibodies (Hydatid Serology) test detects immunoglobulin G antibodies produced in response to infection with Echinococcus species, a parasitic tapeworm responsible for hydatid disease (echinococcosis). Hydatid cysts commonly affect the liver and lungs but may also involve other organs. This test supports the diagnosis of hydatid disease, especially when imaging studies reveal cystic lesions. It is also useful for monitoring treatment response and detecting recurrence after surgery or medical therapy.
