The widal test is also called the typhoid test and widal agglutination test. It is an advanced test that checks for antibodies and antigens. The test works in this manner:
- The widal test slide method detects antibodies against flagellar (H) and somatic (O) antigens that cause the infection. After infection, the antigens cause the body to produce more antibodies.
- The test analyses the interaction between the antigens and antibodies found in the blood sample.
- If the antibody is present in the blood sample, it will react to the antigen and will result in visible clumping.
Test Necessity
If the doctor suspects that you have developed typhoid, they will recommend a widal test. The widal test slide method is a rapid serological test. When typhoid bacilli bacteria is mixed with the blood samples that contain typhoid antibodies, agglutination occurs. This slide test checks for this agglutination as it confirms the presence of typhoid bacteria.
The doctor might prescribe this test for symptoms like:
- Fever
- Chills
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
- Constipation
- Weight loss
- Rashes
Typhoid is a deadly disease, and it can affect many organs. Typhoid can cause serious complications and severe illness. It is important to get prompt treatment once diagnosed.
