What does this test Typhoid Test IGG & IGM identify?

Typhoid Test IGG & IGM

The Typhoid Test IGG & IGM is a diagnostic test used to identify the presence of antibodies in the blood that are specific to the bacteria Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid fever. The test detects two types of antibodies:

  • IGG antibodies: These antibodies are produced in the later stages of infection and can remain in the blood for a longer period of time. A positive result for IGG antibodies indicates a past infection or vaccination against typhoid fever.
  • IGM antibodies: These antibodies are produced in the early stages of infection and are typically present in the blood for a shorter period of time. A positive result for IGM antibodies suggests a current or recent infection with Salmonella typhi.

The Typhoid Test IGG & IGM helps healthcare providers diagnose typhoid fever and determine the stage of infection in individuals who are symptomatic or at risk of exposure to the bacteria. It is an important tool for managing and controlling the spread of typhoid fever.

Why is this test Typhoid Test IGG & IGM taken?

The Typhoid Test IGG & IGM is taken to help diagnose a current or past infection with the bacterium Salmonella typhi, which is responsible for causing typhoid fever. This test specifically looks for the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IGG) and Immunoglobulin M (IGM) antibodies in the blood, which are produced by the immune system in response to the typhoid bacteria.

IGM antibodies are produced in the early stages of an infection, typically within 1-2 weeks after exposure to the bacteria. IGG antibodies, on the other hand, are produced later in the infection and can persist for months to years after the infection has resolved.

By measuring the levels of IGG and IGM antibodies in the blood, healthcare providers can determine if a person has a current or past infection with S. typhi. This information can help guide treatment decisions and prevent the spread of the disease to others.
