Overview
Typhoid fever is also known as enteric fever. When this fever enters your body, it disrupts your entire digestive system. This generally enters your body once you consume food or water contaminated with faecal material. The symptoms are going to weigh in a week after you have come in contact with the virus known as salmonella bacteria. Once you get those symptoms, it is important to detect the fever and get remedies for the same. If you don't treat yourself on time, it may lead to issues such as intestinal bleeding or perforation. The widal test with slide method is considered accurate as it detects the presence of antibodies accurately that your body makes against salmonella bacteria during typhoid.
The test is going to be measured in titre. In case the test results show less than or equal to 1:20 and 1:40 titre, you're testing negative for the widal test. However, you will test positive in case the test results go beyond 1:160 titre. Testing positive would mean that you're suffering from the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi infection.
Test Necessity
Once your body starts showing signs of a weak immune system, you should consult a doctor for a solution. The following symptoms will make it necessary for you to go for a widal test:
- Headache
