Amoebic Antibodies


The Amoebic Antibodies test checks your blood for antibodies that indicate a current or past infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica. A positive result suggests exposure to the parasite and helps doctors confirm the cause of gastrointestinal or liver-related symptoms. This test is often used alongside other investigations for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
