Normal range: Negative
Comment: Current infection is associated with a rising titer. Titer can remain high for some years after infection. Antibodies usually appear within 4 weeks of exposure and remain up to 18 months after treatment cross-reaction with other parasites may occur with screening antibody test positive. Active bilharzias are associated with presence of antibodies, a raised eosinophils count and ova seen during microscopy tests for Bilharzia
Sample: Serum
