About this test
Typhidot detects IgM and IgG antibodies against Salmonella typhi. IgM suggests a current infection and IgG suggests past exposure. It gives a faster answer than blood culture, though culture remains the definitive test and is preferred where the diagnosis will change treatment.
What it measures
- Typhoid IgM antibody
- Typhoid IgG antibody
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
