Find Peace of Mind with Accurate Echinococcus Detection
When you’re facing concerns about hydatid cysts or unexplained abdominal symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Echinococcus Detection Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised diagnostic service is designed to detect the presence of scolices in cyst fluid, giving you and your healthcare provider the clarity required for proper treatment planning.
Understanding Your Echinococcus Detection Test
This test specifically identifies scolices – the larval forms of the Echinococcus tapeworm – in hydatid cyst fluid. Using advanced microscopy techniques, our laboratory experts examine your sample with precision and care. The detection of these scolices confirms active echinococcosis infection, which is essential for guiding appropriate medical intervention and preventing potential complications.

Early detection can prevent serious complications including cyst rupture, anaphylactic reactions, and organ damage.
