The Salmonella Typhi (Typhidot) IgM test is an important and rapid diagnostic tool to diagnose typhoid fever. This test usually shows the typhoid infection within 2-3 days by detecting IgM antibodies, illustrating an active infection respectively. When Salmonella typhi enters the body, your immune system produces IgM antibodies as the body's first response of defense against the outer membrane protein of Salmonella typhi.

IgM antibodies are usually present in higher concentrations shortly after infection before gradually decreasing and eventually disappearing. Therefore, a positive IgM test for Salmonella Typhi typically suggests a recent or acute infection.

The Salmonella Typhi (Typhidot) IgM test is a qualitative rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of Typhoid IgM antibodies. 

The Salmonella Typhi (Typhidot) IgG test is performed to detect the presence or absence of IgG antibodies against Salmonella typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. IgG antibodies are the most frequent type of antibody, which are developed at a later stage, usually 2-3 weeks after the virus invades the body and causes the infection, and it remains in the body for life. Thus, IgG antibodies indicate if an individual has been infected with typhoid.
