    What is a Typhidot Test?

    The Typhidot test is a blood test used to diagnose typhoid fever – an infection caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria. It identifies specific IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood produced by the body’s immune system in response to this bacterium. Also known as Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM, this test involves collecting a small blood sample and placing it on an antigen-coated strip that contains substances that react with the antibodies. Results indicate the presence or absence of antibodies, assisting in diagnosing typhoid fever. The test is valued for its simplicity, rapidity, and effectiveness in identifying typhoid infection.

    If you suspect you have typhoid fever and need confirmation, you can get a Typhidot IgM test/Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM done at Orange Health Labs in Bangalore. Moreover, you can opt for doing the typhoid test at home, allowing you to get tested conveniently without leaving the comfort of your home.

    Typhidot Test Parameters

    The Typhidot blood test assesses two critical parameters essential for diagnosing and monitoring typhoid fever infection:

    IgG Antibodies

    The presence of IgG antibodies against S. typhi indicates a past or chronic infection. These antibodies are produced following an initial immune response and can stay in your bloodstream for an extended duration of up to two years. The presence of IgG antibodies suggests either a recent or past episode of typhoid fever infection and provides valuable insights into your immune history regarding the disease. Keeping track of IgG antibody levels helps doctors understand how the disease is progressing and whether you're developing immunity. This information guides them in making decisions about your treatment and managing the illness effectively.

    IgM Antibodies

    The presence of IgM antibodies against S. typhi on the test strip indicates an early or acute stage of typhoid fever infection. These antibodies typically emerge as part of the initial immune response to the bacterial attack, serving as indicators of recent exposure to the bacteria. Finding IgM antibodies helps doctors spot active infections early, so they can start treatment quickly and prevent the illness from getting worse.

    Typhidot Test Preparation

    Here are some things you should know before doing the Typhidot IgM test:

    Prerequisites

    Fasting is not required before getting the Typhidot test. Your healthcare provider will guide you if there are any other considerations.

    Best time to get tested

    For the most accurate results, it's advisable to undergo testing 2-3 days after typhoid symptoms appear. These symptoms may include continuous high fever, chills, constipation, extreme fatigue, general aches and pains, cough and headache. Later, it can progress to abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, and a rash.

    Eligibility for Typhidot test

    The Typhidot test is typically recommended for individuals displaying symptoms of typhoid fever.

    Cautions Before Taking the Typhidot test

    There are no major precautions necessary before the test.

    Why Take a Typhidot Test?

    The Typhidot IgM test is important for people who show signs of typhoid fever. It can detect the infection early and accurately, allowing for quick treatment to prevent serious complications. The test is simple, doesn't require special equipment or training, and is both reliable and affordable. The test can detect the typhoid infection within 2-3 days of infection, allowing for swift diagnosis. This early detection is crucial in areas where typhoid is common or during outbreaks, as it helps health professionals quickly identify and manage individuals with typhoid. By providing rapid and dependable results, the Typhidot blood test supports effective disease control and improves public health outcomes. It is a valuable tool in both clinical settings and public health initiatives.

    Typhidot Test Results & Interpretation

    Typhidot test can give either a positive or a negative result. If you test positive, it indicates an exposure to the bacterium and suggests a recent or current infection with typhoid fever. A negative result means that the test did not detect any antibodies against typhoid bacteria in your blood sample.

    However, a negative test does not completely rule out the possibility of exposure or infection. Sometimes, the antibody levels may be too low for the test to detect, or the test may have been done at a stage when the relevant antibodies were not present in sufficient quantities. 1

    If you continue to experience symptoms that suggest typhoid fever, your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests, such as a blood culture test, which can directly detect the presence of typhoid bacteria in your bloodstream.
