Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils, which can help alleviate chronic tonsillitis, obstructive sleep apnea, and other tonsil-related issues.

The Widal test involves collecting a blood sample and testing it for antibodies against Salmonella typhi and related serotypes.

No, the Widal test specifically detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi and is not used to diagnose other infections.

Positive results indicate exposure to Salmonella typhi, suggesting current or past infection, while negative results indicate no significant antibody response.

Recent vaccination against typhoid fever or certain medications may interfere with the accuracy of Widal test results.

The Widal test provides supportive evidence for diagnosing typhoid fever but is often used in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests for confirmation.

The S. IgA Test measures Immunoglobulin A levels to assess immune function and diagnose immune disorders.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm, which is then analyzed for IgA levels.

Low levels may suggest an IgA deficiency or other immune system disorders.

Results are typically available within a few hours to one day, depending on the lab’s processing time.
