During the Widal Test

You can expect the phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs to arrive at your home at the time you chose when the test was booked. A Widal test needs a little sample of your blood. The phlebotomist will use a vein finder to minimize discomfort and quickly and efficiently draw some blood from a vein in your arm.

The normal values and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

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.
