Bilharzia Antibody

Bilharzia Antibody


The Bilharzia Antibody (IgG) test checks for antibodies produced by your immune system in response to a Bilharzia infection. Even if symptoms are mild or absent, antibodies may still be present in the blood following exposure. This test is particularly useful for travellers, migrants, or individuals with unexplained symptoms after freshwater exposure in endemic regions.
