Overview
The Typhoid Antigen test is designed to detect specific bacterial proteins (antigens) in the blood or stool. Because antigens appear as soon as the bacteria enter the bloodstream—often before the body has time to produce antibodies—this test is exceptionally useful for very early detection of Typhoid fever.
Why Book This Test?
- Early Detection: Can detect the infection in the first few days of fever, often earlier than antibody tests.
- Rapid Results: Provides a much faster turnaround than traditional blood cultures, which can take several days to grow bacteria.
- Active Infection Only: Unlike antibody tests, a positive antigen test specifically indicates that the bacteria are currently present in your body.
