What further evidence do we need to diagnose Elisa?

Answer:

ELISA, using excretory-secretory antigens from infective-stage larvae, is the diagnostic test of choice. In patients whose clinical signs and history suggest visceral toxocariasis, a positive Toxocara ELISA is strong presumptive evidence of Toxocara infection. A rising or falling titer with a twofold difference in a recently ill patient is consistent with visceral toxocariasis

ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunoassay. It is a commonly used laboratory test to detect antibodies in the blood. An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens
