Overview
A blood test indicating eosinophilia, elevated muscle enzymes and anti trichinella IgG or muscle biopsy can identify trichinosis.[1][2]
Laboratory Findings
Blood test:[1]
- Eosinophilia:
- Appears 2 or 5 weeks after infection
- It is related with severity of myalgia
- Higher levels among patients with neurological complications
- A great decrease of eosinophils in patients with complicated trichinosis is considered to be a bad indicator for the disease prognosis
- Elevated muscle enzyme:
- Creatinine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aldolase
- Appears 2 or 5 weeks after infection
- Anti trichinella IgG:
- 12 to 60 days after infection
- ELISA, indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFA) and Western blot can be used to find anti-Trichinella IgG
