CYSTICERCOSIS (TAENIA SOLIUM) ANTIBODY IgG Test: Cost, Symptoms and Diagnosis
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Taenia solium, a tapeworm found in pigs. The infection occurs when a person ingests the tapeworm eggs through contaminated food or water.
The Cysticercosis (Taenia solium) Antibody IgG Test is a blood test that detects the antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection. This test is used to diagnose cysticercosis and is available at DNA Labs India for a cost of INR 1521.
Symptoms of Cysticercosis
The symptoms of cysticercosis vary depending on the location of the larvae in the body. Some of the common symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Nausea and vomiting
- Muscle weakness
- Visual disturbances
- Lumps or bumps under the skin
In some cases, cysticercosis may not cause any symptoms, and the infection may go unnoticed for years.
Diagnosis of Cysticercosis
The diagnosis of cysticercosis is usually made through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests. The Cysticercosis (Taenia solium) Antibody IgG Test is also used to confirm the diagnosis.
The test detects the antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection. A positive result indicates that the person has been infected with Taenia solium and has developed an immune response.
