What is a Typhidot IgM Test in Lucknow?
The Typhidot IgM Test in Lucknow is a rapid blood test that detects IgM antibodies against Salmonella typhi — the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever. These antibodies are produced by your immune system within 2–3 days of infection, making this test ideal for early diagnosis.
It helps doctors differentiate acute typhoid fever from other causes of fever and allows timely initiation of antibiotic treatment. The test works through immunochromatography, a quick, accurate method similar to a pregnancy test, where results are available within hours.
