About this test
What Is a Serologic Test for Giardia Intestinalis?
A serologic test for Giardia intestinalis (also known as Giardia lamblia) is a blood-based diagnostic method used to detect antibodies produced in response to a Giardia infection. This test helps identify both current and past exposure to the parasite.
Role in Diagnosing Giardia Infections
While stool antigen tests are commonly used to detect active Giardia infections, serologic testing can be particularly useful in cases where stool samples are inconclusive or when investigating prolonged gastrointestinal symptoms.
When Serologic Testing Is Recommended
Serologic tests for Giardia lamblia may be considered in:
Chronic or recurring diarrhoea with no clear cause
Suspected Giardia exposure with negative stool results
Epidemiological studies or screening in high-risk populations
