What Does Cystic Echinococcus Suggest?
sir below is the test report of my mother's echinococcus antibodies test. i want to know that what test report says." Echinococcus antibodies1:16 and the comments on the test report by agha khan university lab is under" Diagonistically significany titers are present in a serum dilution of 1:32 to 1:64 or higher. Titers brtween 1:512 and 1:2048 are regarded as mean serum titers in patients with cystic echinococcus. Low positive titers(1:32 to1:128) should only be assessed together with the positive result of a second serological method such as CFR, IFT, Elisa etc.
