Sir/Madam, could you please tell me the best test for diagnosing typhoid? This is for a 45 year old female. Thank you in advance.

For accurate detection of typhoid, the best test is the Typhoid IgM Antibody Test. It helps confirm recent infection and gives faster results than older methods. If fever is high and ongoing, a Blood Culture may also be advised by your doctor.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Widal Test Test
