Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection of the intestinal tract. Salmonella typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever, lives only in the human body. People who have contracted typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bowels and bloodstream. There are also some people who continue to carry the bacteria after recovering from the infection, known as carriers, who are capable of spreading typhoid fever. S. Typhi can live in your gallbladder without causing any symptoms, so it is very important to get tested even after feeling well to be sure that you cannot infect another person.

Salmonella typhi is passed out of the body through the faeces of infected people. You can get typhoid fever if you eat food that is contaminated with Salmonella typhi. You can also get this infection by drinking or using water contaminated with this bacteria. After entering the intestine, these bacteria begin to multiply. It spreads through the bloodstream to many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, gallbladder, liver, spleen, etc. Close contact with a person who is carrying Salmonella typhi bacteria can also cause typhoid fever. Typhoid is a serious and sometimes fatal infection that occurs in areas where sanitation is poor. Salmonella typhi bacteria can live in water and dry sewage for weeks.

Typhoid fever can last for 3 to 4 weeks after the symptoms appear. If not treated on time, typhoid can lead to serious conditions such as abdominal hemorrhage, encephalitis or inflammation of the brain. Untreated typhoid fever can cause several other health complications, including severe infections, pneumonia, kidney failure, and meningitis. This is where the widal test plays a useful role because if typhoid fever is diagnosed at the very early stage, treatment with antibiotics can be highly effective.

If you are showing the symptoms of typhoid fever, your doctor may recommend a widal test. The symptoms are metioned below:

• A high fever, fatigue, chills
• Muscle weakness
• Headache
• Abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation
• Nausea and vomiting
• Cough
• Loss of appetite
• Skin rash
• Rose coloured spots

No special preparation is needed for this test. If any medicines can't be taken before the test, your doctor will let you know.

During the Widal Test

The phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will arrive at your house as per the time you choose. Since PharmEasy wants a painless experience for everyone, our phlebotomists use vein finders. This is a tool that helps locate the most suitable vein in your arm for drawing blood accurately. The needles and syringes that are used are brand new and will be unsealed in front of you. The sample will be sealed in a tube and put in an ice box to prevent degradation.
