Typhoid test price

The Widal test is the cheapest typhoid test at labs, usually ₹129–₹269. It is also the least reliable, because it can be positive after a past infection or vaccination. A Typhidot or typhoid IgM/IgG test costs around ₹400 at labs. Blood culture is the confirmatory test and costs more.

Hepatitis C (HCV) test price

An HCV antibody test at a lab usually costs ₹425–₹825. It shows whether a person has ever been exposed to hepatitis C. A positive antibody result must be followed by an HCV RNA test, which shows whether the infection is active.

H. pylori test price

H. pylori can be tested by a blood antibody test, a stool antigen test or a urea breath test. Lab prices differ widely by test type and city. A rapid antibody kit is a low-cost first screen for people with long-standing acidity or stomach pain; a doctor decides whether a stool or breath test is needed.

What changes the price

  1. City and lab: metro hospital labs charge more than small labs and online networks.
  2. Home collection: often free, sometimes ₹50–₹150 extra.
  3. Test type: a rapid card screen costs less than ELISA, culture or RNA tests.
  4. Pack size: for labs and clinics, bigger kit packs bring the cost per test down. Hospitals can ask for bulk pricing.
Rapid tests are screening tests. A negative result early in an illness can be false, and a positive result needs confirmation. Always talk to a doctor before starting or stopping any treatment.
