Entamoeba Histolytica Antibodies (Amoebic Serology)

The Entamoeba histolytica Antibodies (Amoebic Serology) test detects immunoglobulin antibodies produced in response to infection with Entamoeba histolytica, a parasitic protozoan responsible for amoebiasis. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing extra-intestinal amoebiasis, such as amoebic liver abscess, where stool examinations may be negative. A positive antibody result indicates current or past infection and should be interpreted along with clinical findings and imaging studies for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
