Interpretive...

Interpretive Information 0.9 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of Strongyloides IgG antibody detected
1.0 IV: Equivocal - The Strongyloides IgG antibody result is borderline and therefore inconclusive. Recommend retesting the patient in 2-4 weeks, if clinically indicated
1.1 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibodies to Strongyloides detected, which may suggest current or past infection

False-positive results may occur with prior exposure to other helminth infections. Testing low-prevalence populations may also result in false-positive results
