Symptom-based guide for travelers. A doctor will confirm the appropriate tests based on your specific situation.
Fever in Bali is commonly dengue, typhoid, or bacterial infection. The timing of fever onset determines which tests are most accurate.
Days 1–5 of fever
Dengue NS1 antigen · Malaria RDT · CBC · CRP
Days 5+ of fever
Dengue IgM/IgG · Typhoid IgM · CBC · Liver panel
Any stage
CBC · CRP · Liver function · Kidney function
Common in long-stay travelers and expats — often anemia, thyroid, or subclinical infection.
Recommended: CBC · Thyroid (TSH, FT4) · Liver panel · Kidney panel · Blood glucose · CRP
If standard Bali Belly treatment isn't working, or symptoms are unusual or prolonged.
Recommended: CBC · CRP · Stool culture (if available) · Typhoid IgM · Liver panel · Kidney panel (dehydration check)
Liver function check after alcohol-heavy holiday, or concern about medication interactions.
Recommended: Liver panel (ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin) · CBC · Hepatitis B and C screening
Note: 24-hour fasting preferred before liver panel for most accurate results.
After unprotected sex or potential exposure. Timing of testing critical for accurate results.
Recommended: Full STD panel (Gonorrhea + Chlamydia PCR, Syphilis, HIV, Hepatitis B/C) — timing depends on when exposure occurred.

Why doctor consultation matters before ordering tests
Ordering the wrong test — or testing at the wrong time — wastes money and can give false reassurance. Example: dengue PCR is most accurate in days 1–5 of fever; after day 7, dengue IgM is the better test. HIV RNA PCR is reliable from ~10 days but is unnecessary if the 4th generation test at 45 days is accurate enough for most situations. A doctor matches the test to your specific symptom timeline and risk profile.
