How Can A Blood Test Report Showing S.Typhi And IgM Along With A Widal Test Be Interpreted?
my blood report shows the following : S.Typhi, IgM is a rapid test for detection of IgM antibodies to Salmonella typhi. Accurate diagnosis of Typhoid fever at an early stage is not only important for etiological diagnosis, but also to identify and treat potential carriers and prevent acute typhoid fever outbreaks. The conventional Widal test detects antibodies to S .typhi in patient serum from the second week of onset of symptoms whereas early rising antibodies predominantly IgM in nature detected by Typhi dot serve as a marker for recent infection. do this means i have typhoid??
