Test Necessity
If you exhibit symptoms such as headache, stomach pain, vomiting, nausea, rash, extremely swollen stomach, diarrhea or constipation, sweating, weakness and fatigue, muscle aches, dry cough, loss of appetite, and weight loss, your consulting physician may recommend a Widal test. Without proper treatment, you may experience restlessness and irritability or feel exhausted and lie motionless in what is known as the typhoid state.
Potential complications include inflammation of the heart muscle or pancreas, kidney or bladder infections, pneumonia, infection, and inflammation of the membranes, as well as psychiatric problems such as restlessness and hallucinations. Since life-threatening complications can arise, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect you have typhoid fever.
Test Preparation
No specific preparations are required for the Widal test. Since fasting is not necessary, the test can be conducted at any time.
During the Widal Test
To undergo the Widal test, a crucial step involves drawing a blood sample from a vein in your arm with a sterile needle. To make this process more accurate and efficient, the phlebotomists at PharmEasy employ vein-finding devices to precisely locate the vein.

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.
