If you have fever , please don't go to Local labs for typhoid test (typhidot or widal tests are no longer used to diagnose typhoid ).
Yes we can have this in provisional diagnoses along with dengue /malaria and other infections but this is the job your doctors not yours or the laboratories.
If you want to diagnose typhoid , go for Cultures (blood, urine, stool, bone depending on the day of symptoms)
Keeping in view current pandemic ,
If you are having fever, it is COVID-19 untill proven otherwise.
Please act sensible and don't waste your money and time!!!
Government should ban these tests because these tests, as per guidelines are no longer used rather obsolete for the diagnosis of typhoid!
