Trichinella Antibody, Serum
Clinical Information: Trichinosis is an infection by the nematode parasite, Trichinella spiralis. The
infection is acquired by ingestion of larvae in inadequately cooked, contaminated meat, especially pork,
bear and walrus meat may also be sources of infection. After ingestion, acid-pepsin digestion in the
stomach liberates the larvae which develop into adult worms in the small intestine. After fertilization, the
female worm produces larvae which penetrate the mucosa and seed the skeletal muscles via the blood
stream. In muscle fibers they coil and encyst remaining viable for up to several years. Diarrhea is the most
common symptom associated with intestinal infection with adult worms. Subsequently, during systemic
invasion by the larvae, fever, periorbital swelling, muscle pain and swelling, and pulmonary symptoms
and rash develop.
Useful For: As an adjunct in the diagnosis of trichinosis
Interpretation: A positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) suggests current infection
with Trichinella spiralis. Serology should be used in conjunction with clinical, epidemiologic, and other
laboratory tests to establish the correct diagnosis. The number of individuals showing positive results may
vary significantly between populations and geographic regions.
Reference Values:
Negative (reported as positive or negative)
