ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA ANTIGEN RAPID CARD TEST Test in Bengaluru Overview
No special preparations needed
- Entamoeba Histolytica Antigen
This test detects antigens from Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite that causes amoebiasis, particularly amoebic dysentery and liver abscesses.
It is used to differentiate pathogenic E. histolytica from non-pathogenic amoebas in stool samples, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment of intestinal parasitic infections.
A fresh stool sample is typically collected and tested using ELISA or immunochromatographic methods for antigen detection.
Positive results confirm active E. histolytica infection and warrant anti-parasitic treatment. Negative results may require further tests if symptoms persist.
No special preparation is needed. However, antibiotics or antiparasitic medications should be reported, as they may influence test accuracy.
