Test Overview
Typhidot IgM Rapid Card Test
The Typhidot IgM Rapid Card test detects typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi using immunochromatography. It identifies IgM antibodies produced during the infection, providing a rapid and accurate diagnosis, vital in typhoid-prone regions with limited resources. A small blood sample, often from a finger prick, is applied to the test card with antigens. If typhoid is present, the patient's IgM antibodies react, showing distinct lines for a positive result; otherwise, it's negative.
