If the antibody against the bacteria is present within the patient’s serum, it'll react with the respective antigen within the reagent and provide visible agglutination (clumping) on the test slide. The highest dilution of the patient’s blood sample that provides a clear agglutination with the Widal test antigen suspensions is that of the antibody titre.

The Widal test is not very effective in the early stages of infection. It is better performed after the first week of fever.
