The agglutination method is a technique that checks the levels of antigens and antibodies in the blood, checking the interaction between the two. The test analyses the following aspects:

• Flagellar (H) or Somatic (O) antigens cause a typhoid infection. The blood is checked for these antigens, and then for the presence of antibodies against these antigens
• How the antigens and antibodies interact with each other is checked
• The above interaction causes clumping in the blood, which confirms the enteric fever

If you have any symptoms of an enteric fever, you will have to do the widal test. The symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Chills
• Abdominal pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Constipation
• Rashes
• Fever

Typhoid is a serious infection that adversely affects the organs if it is left untreated. The test detects typhoid in a timely manner so that the doctor can start a treatment plan immediately, improving the scope of a quick recovery.

During the Widal Test

Once the widal test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will collect the blood from your home, at a time and date of your choosing. 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.
