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 Typhi Dot, 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.
