🦠 Dengue, Malaria & Typhoid: Difference, Symptoms & Tests

During the monsoon season, infections like dengue, malaria, and typhoid become very common in India. Many people get confused because their symptoms often look similar — especially fever, weakness, and body pain.

At PS Path Lab, we help you detect these diseases early with accurate testing so you can start treatment on time.

🌧️ Why These Diseases Increase in Monsoon?

Stagnant water and poor sanitation during the rainy season create the perfect environment for:

*      Mosquito breeding (Dengue & Malaria) 

*      Contaminated food & water (Typhoid) 

⚠️ Key Difference Between Dengue, Malaria & Typhoid
