During the Widal Test

The blood sample collection is done in a hygienic manner, adhering to all safety protocols. The blood is drawn using sterilised needles and gloves, and the vein finder device locates the best vein in the forearm that will cause the least discomfort. The process does not take a lot of time, and you can carry on with your usual activities after the test.

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.
