DIAGNOSTICS OF HELMINTHIASES
Diagnosis of helminthiasis is the first step towards effective treatment of parasitic infections.

Our check-up includes:
Laboratory and instrumental examination methods
Serological tests (ELISA, blood):
- Giardiasis, Giardia lamblia, total antibodies (IgG+IgM+IgA)
- Ascariasis, Ascaris lumbricoides, IgG antibodies
- Toxocariasis, Toxocara canis, IgG antibodies
- Opisthorchiasis, Opisthorchis felineus, IgG antibodies
- Echinococcosis, Echinococcus granulosus, antibodies (IgG + IgA)
- Trichinellosis, Trichinella spiralis, antibodies (IgG + IgA)
PCR panels for detection of parasite DNA (qualitative detection, stool - 9 pathogens):
Enterocytozoon spp./Encephalitozoon spp., Strongyloides spp., Hymenolepis spp., Ascaris spp., Taenia spp., Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma spp., Enterobius vermicularis, Necator americanus.
Panel “Intestinal Protozoan Parasites” (6 pathogens):
Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium spp., Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Cyclospora cayetanensis.
Additionally, stool concentration analysis (Parasep method) is performed for microscopic detection of parasite eggs and cysts.
Complete blood count (with leukocyte formula);
Urinalysis;
Eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) – indicator of allergic and parasitic reaction activity;
Immunoglobulin E (total IgE);
Liver panel (total protein, albumin, bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT).
Physician consultation with a therapist
Ultrasound diagnostics:
Abdominal ultrasound – liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen.
Urinary system ultrasound: kidneys, adrenal glands, urinary bladder.
Medical supervision
Physician board consultation with the Chief Physician – Perelygin I.V.
------------------------------------
Additional examination (separate fee):
- Anisakis simplex or herring worm antibodies / Anisakis simplex (Redger laboratory, Germany)
(Indirect Immunofluorescence Test (IIFT)) – qualitative indirect immunofluorescence assay.
Indications for prescription:
Presence of anisakiasis symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, as well as skin rash and itching appearing after consumption of raw fish).
Screening of patients with occupational risk factors (fishermen, fish sellers, cooks) or dietary habits (consumption of raw seafood or squid).
- Fecal calprotectin
- Occult blood in stool
- Pancreatic elastase (stool)
Helminthiases are diseases caused by parasitic worms (helminths) that can inhabit the intestines, liver, lungs, muscles, and other human organs. Infection often occurs unnoticed: parasite eggs enter the body through unwashed hands, improperly processed foods, water, or contact with animals.
The danger of helminthiases lies not only in disrupting digestive system function but also in systemic effects on the body. Parasites:
- cause chronic inflammation and intoxication;
- disrupt metabolism and nutrient absorption;
- weaken immunity and increase susceptibility to infections;
- may provoke allergic reactions and skin rashes;
- in severe cases – affect internal organs and the nervous system.
Early and accurate diagnosis is key to successful treatment and prevention of complications.
When to get tested for helminth infection
Examination is recommended not only when infection is suspected but also for preventive purposes. It is essential to undergo diagnosis if you experience the following symptoms:
- chronic fatigue, weakness, apathy;
- nausea, decreased appetite, abdominal pain;
- alternating constipation and diarrhea;
- itching around the anal area;
- unexplained weight loss;
- skin rashes, allergic reactions;
- teeth grinding during sleep, sleep disturbances.
Moreover, helminth testing is advisable for:
- children (especially those attending kindergarten or school);
- pet owners;
- people working with soil or food products;
- before planned pregnancy and medical procedures.
Helminthiasis diagnosis is an important step in caring for your health. Parasitic infections often proceed silently, but their consequences can be severe. Modern laboratory diagnostic methods allow fast and accurate parasite detection, appropriate treatment selection, and prevention of complications.
Regular screening is a reliable way to protect yourself and your loved ones from helminths and maintain health for many years.
