The Typhidot test is a blood test designed to diagnose typhoid fever, an infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi . It works by detecting specific IgG and IgM antibodies in the bloodstream, produced in response to the bacterium. This test, also known as the Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM or Typhidot IgM test, involves an antigen-coated strip containing reactive substances which react with the blood sample. The test indicates whether the IgM or IgG antibodies are present, aiding in diagnosing typhoid fever. The test is an efficient tool for detecting typhoid infections as it is simple and provides rapid results with accuracy.
If you believe you may have typhoid fever and need a definitive diagnosis, you can undergo a Typhidot IgM or Typhidot rapid IgG/IgM test at Orange Health Labs in Noida. You can also choose to have the typhoid test at home for added convenience, allowing you to get tested without leaving your home.

Why Take a Typhidot Test?
The Typhidot IgM test is crucial for the early detection of typhoid fever, thus facilitating prompt treatment to prevent severe health issues. It is a reliable and accurate test that detects typhoid within 2-3 days of infection. Early detection is vital in areas where typhoid is common. It is also vital during outbreaks and can aid health professionals in managing the disease quickly. The test’s rapid and dependable results play a significant role in effective disease control and public health improvement.
Typhidot Test Results & Interpretation
Testing positive on the Typhidot test suggests recent or current exposure to typhoid bacteria. A negative result indicates no antibodies to the bacteria were detected in your blood. However, a negative result does not entirely rule out infection, as it could be due to low antibody levels or early testing. If typhoid-like symptoms persist, additional tests such as a blood culture may be recommended by your healthcare provider to directly detect the bacteria in your bloodstream.
