What is the Salmonella Typhi IgG & IgM (Card Test)?
The Salmonella Typhi IgG & IgM Card Test is a rapid, qualitative diagnostic test used to detect IgG and IgM antibodies against Salmonella typhi, the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever. This test provides a quick assessment of whether a person has a current or past infection with Salmonella typhi. The presence of IgM antibodies suggests a recent or ongoing infection, while IgG antibodies indicate a past infection or exposure.

Purpose of the Salmonella Typhi IgG & IgM Card Test:

1. Rapid Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever:

   • Identifies the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies, helping to diagnose acute typhoid fever quickly.

2. Differentiate Between Current and Past Infection:

   • Helps differentiate between recent (IgM) and past (IgG) exposure to Salmonella typhi.

3. Monitor Disease Progression and Response to Treatment:

   • Assists in tracking the course of the infection and response to therapy.

4. Screening in Endemic Areas:

   • Used as a screening tool in areas where typhoid fever is common, facilitating prompt treatment.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (whole blood, serum, or plasma).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink normally unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

Collection Method:

• A small blood sample is collected, usually via a finger prick or venous blood draw. The sample is then applied to the test card, and results are observed within minutes. The presence of lines on the card indicates whether IgG, IgM, or both antibodies are detected.
