What is included in the Typhidot test?

This test measures the level of specific antibodies formed in the body against Salmonella Typhi bacteria. This bacteria causes typhoid fever. This test mainly includes a ready-to-use test kit on which the blood sample is placed, and then it is combined with certain chemicals which are already provided within the test kit. It takes at least 1 to 3 hours to show the results of the test. The test results are then compared to the kit’s readings or range already provided.

Procedure for Typhidot test

A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm to take the blood sample. The patient is asked to make a fist. This helps in the buildup of blood filling the veins, and it becomes easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein to prevent bacteria from entering. The needle is then inserted into the vein in the arm, and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.

This blood sample is then placed on the Typhidot test kit, which is combined with some special chemicals. It takes at least one to three hours for the results to show. You will find the readings already provided in the test kit so that you can compare the outcome to know if you have typhoid fever or not.
