Typhoid Test in Mandi Bahauddin
Typhidot IgG/IgM, Widal titres and blood culture for fever lasting more than three days.
Why this test is done
Typhoid (enteric fever) is common wherever water supply and food hygiene are under pressure, and the district sees a steady flow of cases every summer. Any fever lasting more than three days with headache, abdominal discomfort and loss of appetite deserves a typhoid workup. Blood culture is the most reliable test — and it must be taken before antibiotics are started.
What is included
- Typhidot IgG and IgM
- Widal test with titres
- Blood culture and sensitivity

Frequently asked questions
Which is better, Widal or Typhidot?
Typhidot IgM becomes positive earlier and is more specific in the first week. Widal is cheaper and still widely used, but a single Widal titre can mislead. Blood culture remains the definitive test.
Can I have the test after starting antibiotics?
Antibody tests still work, but blood culture is much less likely to grow the organism once antibiotics have started. If culture is planned, come before the first dose.
