    What is a Typhidot Test?

    The Typhidot test is a blood-based diagnostic tool used to detect typhoid fever, an infection resulting from the Salmonella typhi bacteria. The test checks for the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies that the body’s immune system produces in response to this bacterium. Known as the Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM test or Typhidot IgM test, it requires drawing a small blood sample, which is placed on an antigen-coated strip that reacts with these antibodies. The test results show whether these antibodies against the typhoid bacteria are present, thus aiding in diagnosing typhoid fever. Its ease of use, quick turnaround time, and effectiveness make it a preferred method for identifying typhoid infections.

    The test is useful for confirming the diagnosis of typhoid in individuals who show symptoms of typhoid fever or are likely to be infected. One can opt for the Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM test or Typhidot IgM test in Mumbai. You can choose to get the typhoid test at home or your preferred location at your convenience without needing to visit a testing facility.

    Typhidot Test Parameters

    The Typhidot blood test examines two key factors crucial for the diagnosis and monitoring of typhoid fever:

    IgG Antibodies

    The detection of IgG antibodies against S. typhi indicates a past or chronic infection. These antibodies are produced following the initial immune response and can remain in the bloodstream for up to two years. Their presence suggests either a recent or past bout of typhoid fever and gives important insights into your immune history. Tracking IgG antibody levels helps doctors assess disease progression and immunity development, guiding them in making informed treatment and management decisions.

    IgM Antibodies

    The presence of IgM antibodies against S. typhi on the test strip denotes an early or acute stage of typhoid fever infection. These antibodies are produced as part of the initial immune defence against the bacteria, indicating recent exposure. Identifying IgM antibodies helps doctors detect active infections early, facilitating timely treatment to prevent the disease from escalating.

    Typhidot Test Preparation

    Preparing for a Typhidot test in Mumbai is hassle-free. Here are some guidelines to follow:

    Prerequisites

    No fasting is required before undergoing the Typhidot test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    For optimal results, get tested 2-3 days after typhoid symptoms begin. These include high fever, chills, constipation, fatigue, body aches, cough, and headache. Symptoms may advance to abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, and rash.

    Who Should Take the Test

    The Typhidot test is generally recommended for those showing signs of typhoid fever.

    Cautions Before Taking the Test

    No significant precautions are needed before the test.

    Why Take a Typhidot Test?

    The Typhidot test is crucial for diagnosing typhoid fever early, enabling prompt treatment to avoid severe complications. It’s a simple, reliable, and affordable test that detects the infection within 2-3 days of symptom onset and is crucial in typhoid-prone areas and during outbreaks. Rapid results with the Typhidot test aid in effective disease management and enhance public health efforts, making it a vital tool in both clinical and public health contexts.

    Typhidot Test Results & Interpretation

    A positive Typhidot test result signifies exposure to the typhoid bacterium, indicating a recent or ongoing infection. A negative result means no detectable antibodies against the typhoid bacteria were found. Nonetheless, a negative result doesn’t fully rule out typhoid infection; it may be due to low antibody levels or testing done too early when antibodies are insufficient. If you continue to have symptoms of typhoid fever, your healthcare provider might suggest further testing, like a blood culture, to detect the bacteria directly in your blood.
