About the Typhidot Test (Typhoid IgM & IgG)
The Typhidot test is a rapid blood test that detects IgM and IgG antibodies against a protein of Salmonella Typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever. It can turn positive earlier than the Widal test, often within the first 2-3 days of fever, and gives a result quickly.
IgM suggests a recent infection, IgG alone suggests past exposure, and both together point to an acute or early infection. Typhidot supports a diagnosis but does not replace blood culture, which is the most reliable confirmation. IgM can also stay positive for weeks after recovery, so your doctor reads the result with your symptoms.
What is Included?
- Typhoid IgM Antibody
- Typhoid IgG Antibody

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions patients in Chandigarh and the Tricity most often ask about the Typhidot test, its results, and booking.
What is the Typhidot test?
It is a rapid blood test that detects IgM and IgG antibodies against Salmonella Typhi to help diagnose typhoid fever early. Typhidot is the name of the test, while typhoid is the disease.
Are typhoid and Typhidot the same?
No. Typhoid is the illness caused by Salmonella Typhi. Typhidot is one of the blood tests used to help detect it.
What does a positive Typhidot IgM mean?
It suggests a recent or current typhoid infection, especially with fever and typical symptoms. It is not a final confirmation, because IgM can stay positive for weeks and other infections can occasionally cross-react. Your doctor decides on treatment.
What does a positive Typhidot IgG mean?
IgG alone usually points to past exposure or an older infection. IgM and IgG both positive suggests an acute or early infection.
What does a negative Typhidot result mean?
It means no typhoid antibodies were detected. If you are tested in the first day or two of fever it can still be falsely negative, so your doctor may repeat it or advise a blood culture if symptoms continue.
What is the normal range for the Typhidot test?
Normal is negative (non-reactive) for both IgM and IgG. Some reports show a grade such as 1+ or 2+, with higher grades meaning a stronger reaction.
Does a positive Typhidot IgM confirm typhoid?
It strongly supports it when combined with symptoms, but blood culture is the confirmatory test. Doctors usually start treatment based on the clinical picture plus the test result.
Typhidot vs blood culture: which is better?
Typhidot is fast and turns positive early but is less specific. Blood culture identifies the bacteria and shows which antibiotics work, but takes 2-5 days and works best in the first week before antibiotics. They complement each other.
After how many days of fever should I do the Typhidot test?
It can turn positive within about 2-3 days of fever, earlier than Widal. Don't wait if you have a fever lasting more than 3 days with weakness, headache, or stomach upset.
Is fasting required for the Typhidot test?
No. You can eat and drink normally and have the test at any time of day.
How long does the Typhidot test take?
Rapid testing gives a result within hours, and the digital report is usually ready the same day or within 24 hours.

Yes, Shyam Labs provides home sample collection services for Chandigarh and nearby Tricity areas, subject to service availability.
