The widal test slide method is also called the typhoid test or the widal agglutination test. The test is an advanced blood test that checks for antibodies and antigens. It analyses the following:
- Detection of antibodies in the bloodstream against flagellar (H) and somatic (O) antigens. These antigens cause the typhoid infection
- Analysis of the interaction between the antigens and antibodies
- If typhoid antibodies are present in the bloodstream, they react with the antigen and visible clumping is seen. This is agglutination.

During the Widal Test
After the test has been booked, a phlebotomist will be assigned who arrives at the location at the specified time to draw the blood. The phlebotomists use new sterilized gloves and needles, and a vein finder device that helps them locate the best vein to draw blood from. The entire process is hygienic and is complete in about 5 to 10 minutes.
