In the Typhi BH test, a serum sample collected from the individual is mixed with a solution containing the BH antigen. If the person has been exposed to Salmonella typhi and has developed antibodies against it, these antibodies will bind to the BH antigen, causing visible clumping or agglutination. The presence of agglutination indicates a positive result, suggesting a previous or ongoing infection with Salmonella typhi.
This test is commonly used in diagnosing typhoid fever, a serious bacterial infection primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water. As typhoid fever symptoms can be non-specific, the Typhi BH test aids in confirming the presence of antibodies against Salmonella typhi and providing a more accurate diagnosis.
