i had fever and went for typhidot test, that came positive. IgM was reactive and IgG was non reactive. i took ciprofloxcocin for 15 days on advice of my family physician...yesterday i repeated my typhidot test in which again IgM was reactive... i want to ask that is it possible that after having anti-biotic for 15 days again IgM comes reactive?
Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. Usually Tidal and IGM Ty phi DOT remains positive for about 1 month, in fact sometimes even longer. They are non-specific tests. You don't need to worry. Only rising levels of Tidal are considered significant. Share with us all your reports and symptoms, I would tell you have Typhoid or not. Many a time, Tidal and IGM Positive, even when we don't have a Typhoid fever. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Chat Doctor, MD
