Typhoid fever is a common infection caused by the Salmonella typhi bacterium. The Typhidot test is a diagnostic blood test that helps in identifying typhoid fever. It detects the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the bacterium. Commonly known as the Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM test, this test involves taking a small blood sample and placing it on an antigen-coated strip that interacts with these antibodies. The test results show whether the antibodies are present, helping in the diagnosis of typhoid fever. The test is valued for its simplicity, quick results, and reliability in diagnosing typhoid infections.

Why Take a Typhidot Test?
The Typhidot IgM test is critical for detecting typhoid fever early and enabling timely treatment to prevent serious complications. It’s an easy, reliable, and affordable test that detects infection within 2-3 days and is essential in typhoid-endemic regions and during outbreaks. The test provides quick and accurate results, supporting effective disease control and enhancing public health strategies.
Typhidot Test Results & Interpretation
A positive result on the Typhidot test implies exposure to the typhoid bacteria, indicating a potential current or recent infection. A negative result means no antibodies against typhoid were detected. Yet, this does not conclusively exclude typhoid infection, as the antibody levels might be insufficient, or the test might have been conducted before antibody development. If symptoms of typhoid fever continue, your doctor might recommend re-testing or additional testing, such as a blood culture, to check for the presence of typhoid bacteria directly in your blood.
