CertifiedLabsThe 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.
The Typhidot blood test evaluates two essential parameters for the diagnosis and management of typhoid fever infection as follows:
The identification of IgG antibodies against S. typhi indicates a previous or chronic infection. These antibodies are generated after the initial immune response and can persist in the bloodstream for up to two years. Their presence indicates either a recent or past episode of typhoid fever and helps doctors screen your immune history with the disease. Monitoring IgG levels helps doctors determine disease progression and the development of immunity.
Detection of IgM antibodies against S. typhi helps detect an early or acute phase of typhoid fever infection. These antibodies appear during the primary immune response to the bacterial infection, indicating recent exposure to the bacteria. Identifying IgM antibodies helps doctors recognise active infections early and prevent the disease from worsening. It also allows the initiation of prompt treatment.

To prepare for a Typhidot test in Noida, consider the following pre-requisites:
Prerequisites
Fasting is unnecessary for the Typhidot IgM test. Consult your healthcare provider for any other requirements.
Best Time to Get Tested
Testing is best performed 2-3 days after the onset of typhoid symptoms like continuous high fever, chills, constipation, fatigue, aches, cough, and headache. Symptoms may progress to abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, and rash.
Who Should Take the Test
The Typhidot test is generally suggested for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of typhoid fever.
Cautions Before Taking the Test
No specific precautions are needed before the 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.
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.
