Semi-Quantitative Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

  

Negative (≤9 U) - No significant level of Cysticercosis IgG antibody detected

  

Results 9-11 U (equivocal) Recommend repeat testing in 2-4 weeks with fresh sample

Results ≥11 U (positive) indicate that IgG antibodies to cysticercosis were detected, which may suggest current or past infection

  
Patients with collagen vascular diseases, hepatic cirrhosis, schistosomiasis, and other parasitic infections can produce false-positive results. There is a strong cross-reaction between cysticercosis and echinococcosis positive sera. Confirmation of positive ELISA results by the cysticercosis antibody, IgG by Western blot is recommended.
