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

Typhoid fever is caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria, which can be ingested through contaminated food or water. Symptoms for typhoid often appear 8 to 48 hours after infection. Some common symptoms include:

• Fever and weakness
• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Rash spots
• Nausea
• Chill and fatigue
• Diarrhoea

The results for this test are given as titres, with higher titres indicating a stronger infection. A titre value of 1:80 or more for the O antigen and 1:160 or more for the H antigen usually means an active infection is present. If the titre values are below these thresholds, it typically means the infection is not present. However, accurate interpretation requires comparing these results with the patient’s symptoms and medical history.

Without treatment, typhoid can cause serious health problems like heart inflammation, pneumonia and other infections. You should see a doctor right away if you suspect you have typhoid fever.
