TYPHOID FEVER PANEL Test
Test Cost: AED 400.0
Introduction
The Typhoid Fever Panel Test is a diagnostic test used to detect and diagnose typhoid fever, a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi. This test is typically performed when a person presents with symptoms such as high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which are common symptoms of typhoid fever.
Test Components

The Typhoid Fever Panel Test is a diagnostic test used to detect and diagnose typhoid fever, a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi. This test is typically performed when a person presents with symptoms such as high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which are common symptoms of typhoid fever. The panel test usually includes several components:
- Widal Test: This test measures the levels of antibodies (IgM and IgG) produced by the body in response to the Salmonella typhi bacteria. A positive result indicates a current or recent infection.
- Blood Culture: This test involves taking a blood sample and culturing it in a laboratory to check for the presence of Salmonella typhi bacteria. A positive result confirms the diagnosis of typhoid fever.
- Stool Culture: This test involves collecting a stool sample and culturing it in a laboratory to check for the presence of Salmonella typhi bacteria. Stool culture is performed because the bacteria are shed in the feces during the infection.
- PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Test: This test detects the genetic material (DNA) of Salmonella typhi bacteria in the blood or stool sample. It is a highly sensitive and specific test that can detect the presence of the bacteria even in small amounts.
The Typhoid Fever Panel Test helps healthcare providers confirm the diagnosis of typhoid fever and guide appropriate treatment. It is important to note that the test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical presentation and other laboratory findings.
