    Mr. Muhammad Bilal, age 32, had a typhoid dot test. The test results showed that he was negative for both S. typhi IgG and IgM antibodies. This suggests he does not have acute or previous typhoid fever infection. Important notes explain that the test may be falsely negative early in infection or if antibiotics were recently taken, and that the test should be repeated if typhoid is still suspected. Positive test results must also be interpreted along with clinical symptoms and culture reports.

    S. typhi IgG Negative . Negative

    S. typhi IgM Negative . Negative

    Results Interpretation:

    IgM Positive: Suggestive of Acute Typhoid Fever

    IgM Positive, IgG Positive: Suggestive of Acute Typhoid Fever (in the middle stage of infection)

    IgM Negative, IgG Positive: Suggestive of Relapse or Re-infection or Previous Infection

    Important Information:

    · Generally, a negative test result excludes Typhoid / Enteric Fever. However, at initial stage (first few days) of infection or if
    antibiotics were started earlier, the test results can also be Negative.
    · In case of suspicion of typhoid fever, while test results are negative, the test should be repeated after 2-3 days for
    confirmation.
    · Please note that Typhidot Serology is not a gold standard to rule out Typhoid / Enteric Fever, as infection with other
    sero-group D Salmonella, False Positive test result may also appear.
    · Any Positive test result must always be interpreted along with the clinical condition and Blood / Bone Marrow / Stool /
    Urine Culture report(s), as “Typhoid IgG / IgM” results may appear Positive even after completion of antibiotic treatment
    and may continue till more than 8 months.
