TYPHOID IgG+IgM ANTIBODY(RAPID TEST)

The Typhoid IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection and differentiation of IgG and IgM anti-Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) and paratyphi in human Serum, Plasma or whole blood. IgM shows recent infection whereas IgG signifies remote infection.

The Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test) is meant to rapidly identify the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against the Typhoid-causing Salmonella typhi bacteria. IgG antibodies imply prior exposure or recovery, whereas IgM antibodies indicate a recent or ongoing infection. Particularly in places with few laboratory facilities or during outbreaks where prompt diagnosis is essential, this test aids in the diagnosis of typhoid fever at various stages, enabling early and appropriate treatment.

Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test) is generally recommended if the patient is suffering from following symptoms:

• Headache
• Loss of appetite
• Stomach (abdominal) pain
• Chills
• “Rose spots” rash (faint pink spots, usually on your chest or stomach)
• Cough
• Muscle aches
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• High fever that can last for weeks and may get progressively worse over

• Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, there is no need for you to make any special preparations before the Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test). 
• Other blood tests can be carried out in addition to this test. If your doctor advises you to have multiple tests at once, they may ask you to fast for a specific period of time prior to a blood test.
• Drink adequate water before sample collection.
• Follow the preparatory instructions as guided by your doctor.

The Price of a Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test) is Rs. 500. However, cost of the test may fluctuate depending on following factors:

• Other tests advised along with Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test)
• Offers or discounts
• Empanelment of the patient

• IgM Antibodies: These antibodies usually indicate a recent or acute infection because they are produced in the early stages of the infection. Their existence typically indicates that the infection is being fought off by the body at the moment.
• IgG Antibodies: These antibodies, which show prior exposure to the bacteria or infection, develop later and stay in the body longer. Their existence implies that the person may have gained immunity or recovered from a previous infection.

Following are the possibilities of a Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test):

• IgM Positive and IgG Negative: Indicates a recent or acute infection with Salmonella typhi. The body is currently responding to the infection.
• IgM Positive and IgG Positive: Suggests a recent infection that may be ongoing, or a past infection with a current immune response. This may indicate either an acute infection or a reinfection.
• IgM Negative and IgG Positive: Indicates a past infection or recovery from typhoid fever. The individual may have developed immunity but is not currently infected.
• IgM Negative and IgG Negative: Suggests no current or past infection with Salmonella typhi, or the test was done too early for antibodies to be detectable.

The Blood Sample for Typhoid IgG+IgM Antibody (Rapid Test) is taken in following steps:

• The area where the Needle will be inserted to take your Blood is cleaned with an Antiseptic Alcohol wipe. The hollow on the inside side of the Elbow or the tip of the Finger are the most common sites for this.
• A tourniquet or a Band is tied around your upper Arm to facilitate the access to the Vein in your Arm.
• A Needle is used to puncture your Vein. The Blood Sample is collected into a test tube attached to the Needle. The Needle may cause a small pinch or sting when it is inserted.
• Once the Vial or test tube is filled, the Blood Sample collection for the test is finished and the Needle is taken out.
• Finger pressure is applied on the puncture site to stop the bleeding and the Band aid is applied at the site.
