Question

What approach is used to diagnose typhoid? O Tissue sampling O Urine culture Serological antibodies O Sputum test

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is option C

Serological antibodies

Widal test is done for diagnosis of typhoid

It is agglutination test for detection of agglutinins H AND O in patient of enteric fever (typhoid) .

These salmonella antibodies start appearing in the serum at the end of 1st week and very high during 3rd week .

In this we have to collect 2 specimen at an interval of 10 days to demonstrate the rise in titre of antibodies

It is one the most comman diagnosis for typhoid

Tissue sampling is not done in detection of typhoid . As it is not considered in typhoid diagnosis

Urine culture can be done but it gives false report in early stages . Blood culture and faces culture are preferred more than urine culture

Sputum test is not done because it is not a infection of lungs and respiratory disorder so no bacteria will be detect in sputum examination

The only correct answer according to me is option c

Serological antibodies detection with the help of Widal test

Hope you find this helpful thankyou ☺️?
