Typhoid DNA (By Real Time PCR) - Blood

The Typhoid DNA Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test is an essential diagnostic procedure aimed at identifying the presence of DNA from the Salmonella typhi bacteria, the causative agent of typhoid fever. Utilizing the power of PCR, this test amplifies specific DNA sequences of the bacteria, enabling their detection in the patient's blood sample. This typhoid DNA PCR test, often referred to simply as the typhoid PCR test, proves especially valuable in the early stages of infection, detecting the bacteria before a significant antibody response is generated by the body.

For individuals residing in high-risk areas or exhibiting symptoms indicative of typhoid fever, the typhoid PCR test at Sprint Diagnostics Centre is an indispensable tool for accurate and timely diagnosis.

Typhoid fever, prevalent in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, poses a serious and potentially life-threatening threat. The disease is transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water with feces from an infected individual. Early diagnosis through the typhoid DNA PCR test is crucial for prompt initiation of appropriate antibiotic treatment, a key step in preventing complications associated with typhoid fever.
