    Interferences and Limitations

    The Trichinella IgG ELISA employs an excretory-secretory antigen to reduce nonspecific reactivity; however, crossreactivity with other parasite antigens (e.g., strongyloides, filarial, malaria) may occur. The assay should be considered a screening test for Trichinella exposure; diagnosis of trichinosis requires a compatible patient history and supporting pathologic findings.
