Overview of the Typhoid Test
As the name suggests, the typhoid test panel is performed to diagnose typhoid fever, which is caused by bacteria called S. Typhi. Generally, a typhoid panel includes 4 lab tests, which are a complete hemogram, urine routine & microscopy, the Widal test, and blood culture and sensitivity for typhoid diagnosis. In these tests, an individual’s blood and urine samples are examined under a microscope to detect the presence of Salmonella typhi bacteria. Sometimes, these bacteria can go undetected in the first examination, which is why one might need to undergo a series of tests for proper diagnosis.
With the help of typhoid panel test results, doctors can confirm the presence of infection in an individual’s body. If the result values of the typhoid test are not within the normal range, it may indicate an active infection.

Why it's done
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection that may lead to a number of major health issues if not taken care of on time. In the worst cases, it may even prove to be life-threatening. This infection generally spreads through contaminated food and drinking water. An infected individual may start showing symptoms sometime between 6 to 30 days after being exposed to the bacteria and the symptoms can range from mild to severe.
Some common symptoms of typhoid fever include:
- High fever
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Skin rashes
- Coughing
- Headaches
If an individual has any of these symptoms, it is best to consult a doctor immediately, who is very likely to suggest a typhoid panel test to confirm the presence of the infection. At times, this test is also prescribed to an individual who has already been diagnosed with typhoid. This is done to monitor the recovery of the person and to check the effectiveness of the treatment.
