The widal test is prescribed as it analyses the levels of antigens and antibodies in the blood, detecting a typhoid infection. The test analyses the following:

• Detection of antibodies against flagellar or H, and somatic or O antigens. These antigens cause typhoid infection.
• Analysis of  the interactions between the antigens and antibodies
• Check the blood for clumping, as the antibodies will react with the antigen and clump.

If the doctor observes any symptoms of typhoid, they will prescribe the widal test. These symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Chills
• Fever
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Weight loss
• Rashes
• Constipation

If typhoid is left untreated, it can cause serious complications and adversely affect the organs of the body. The widal test is important to detect typhoid, as the treatment plan can start immediately after diagnosis.

No special preparations have to be done before the widal test. As there is no need to fast, the test can be done at any time.

During the Widal Test

Book the widal test slide method with PharmEasy Labs, and relax. A phlebotomist will be assigned to you who will arrive at the location to collect the blood. The widal test is a blood test, so the phlebotomists use fresh kits containing disposable sterilised needles and gloves. They also have a vein finder device which is effective in locating the ideal vein in the arm to draw blood from. The process is streamlined, and will be done in 5 to 10 minutes.
