The phlebotomist will then be assigned who will arrive at your home at this specified time to perform the blood test. To do the widal test, a small amount of blood is drawn from a vein, and the vein finder device locates the best vein to use. The needles and gloves are sterilised and are disposed of after use.

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.
