Schistosoma Antibody (IgG), FMI
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This assay utilizes the microsomal fraction of adult S. mansoni worms (MAMA) as antigen, and is thus highly specific (99 %) and sensitive (96 %) for detection of infection caused by S. mansoni; although it is also highly specific for infections caused by other Schistosoma species (S. japonicum, S. haematobium, S. mekongi), its sensitivity for these infections is lower (55 %). Antibody levels do not correlate with intensity of infection.
