Widal Test (Slide Method) in Bikaner - Price & Details

Typhoid is an acute and life-threatening illness, and its diagnosis is confirmed through blood testing. Our immune system serves as a defence mechanism against external threats like bacteria. However, the consumption of contaminated food can lead to various adverse effects, including bacterial infections such as Typhoid and Paratyphoid.

The transmission of this infection can occur through factors like contaminated toilets and inadequate hand hygiene, where individuals touch body parts without washing their hands. Additionally, the consumption of contaminated milk products and unhygienic street food contributes to the spread of Typhoid. The symptoms of Typhoid typically manifest 8 to 48 hours after infection, persisting for a duration of 2 to 5 days.

The following symptoms may lead your doctor to recommend a Widal test:

• Extreme swelling in the stomach
• Vomiting and nausea accompanied by stomach pain
• Loss of appetite and weight loss
• Headache
• Weakness and fatigue
• Muscle aches
• Rash
• Sweating
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Dry cough

PharmEasy Labs in Bikaner offers a wide range of diagnostic tests, including the Widal test for detecting typhoid. Conveniently, our phlebotomist will collect the test sample from your home.

The results are sent to you via email, ensuring a simple and hassle-free experience. This helps you avoid unnecessary travel to labs, especially crucial for highly contagious conditions like typhoid. Our competitive prices and additional discounts make the Widal test easily affordable for everyone.

Life-threatening complications often arise if Typhoid goes untreated. Detecting Typhoid early through the Widal test is crucial for timely and effective treatment. Without prompt intervention, individuals may experience restlessness, exhaustion, and a state known as typhoid state, where they lie motionless. Left untreated, Typhoid can lead to severe complications, including inflammation of the heart muscle or pancreas, kidney or bladder infections, and pneumonia.

No special preparation is needed for the Widal test. You can carry on with your regular day-to-day activities before and after taking the test. Please inform your doctor about any medicines or supplements you are taking.
