What is Typhoid DNA PCR?

The Typhoid DNA PCR test directly detects the genetic material (DNA) of Salmonella Typhi bacteria in your blood. This highly sensitive method can identify the bacteria even in the early stages of infection.

Why is this test important?

This PCR test offers a rapid and accurate diagnosis of active typhoid fever, often before antibodies are detectable. It's particularly useful for early detection and guiding prompt treatment, especially in suspected cases.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
