Diagnosis of Helminthiasis – 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)
Panel “Intestinal Helminths” (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 analysis by concentration method (Parasep) is performed for microscopic detection of parasite eggs and cysts.
Complete Blood Count (with leukocyte formula);
Urinalysis;
Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) – an indicator of allergic and parasitic reaction activity;
Immunoglobulin E (total IgE);
Liver Panel (total protein, albumin, bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT).
Physician Consultations
Ultrasound Diagnostics:
Abdominal ultrasound — liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen.
Urinary system ultrasound — kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder.
Medical Support
Medical Board Consultation with Chief Medical Officer – Dr. I.V. Perelygin.
Additional Examinations (separate fee):
- Anisakis simplex or Herring Worm Antibodies / Anisakis simplex (Redger test, Germany) (Indirect Immunofluorescence Test (IIFT)) – qualitative detection.
Indications for Test Ordering:
In case of symptoms of anisakiasis (abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, as well as skin rashes and itching arising after consumption of raw fish).
When examining patients with relevant occupational history (fishermen, fish sellers, cooks) or dietary habits (consumption of raw marine fish 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 food, water, or contact with animals.
The danger of helminthiasis lies not only in the disruption of the digestive system but also in their systemic effects on the body. Parasites:
- cause chronic inflammation and intoxication;
- disrupt metabolism and nutrient absorption;
- weaken the immune system and increase susceptibility to infections;
- may trigger allergic reactions and skin rashes;
- in severe cases, damage internal organs and the nervous system.
Early and accurate diagnosis is the key to successful treatment and prevention of complications.
When to Get Tested for Helminthiasis
Examination is recommended not only when infection is suspected but also for preventive purposes. Testing is strongly advised if you experience the following symptoms:
- Chronic fatigue, weakness, apathy;
- Nausea, loss of 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.
Additionally, helminthiasis testing is recommended for:
- Children (especially those attending kindergarten or school);
- Pet owners;
- People working with soil or food products;
- Before planned pregnancy and medical procedures.
Diagnosis of helminthiasis is an important step in caring for your health. Parasitic infections often proceed unnoticed, but their consequences can be extremely serious. Modern laboratory diagnostic methods allow for quick and accurate detection of parasites, selection of appropriate treatment, 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.
