The widal test is prescribed as it analyses the levels of antigens and antibodies in the blood, detecting a typhoid infection. The test analyses the following:
- Detection of antibodies against flagellar or H, and somatic or O antigens. These antigens cause typhoid infection.
- Analysis of the interactions between the antigens and antibodies
- Check the blood for clumping, as the antibodies will react with the antigen and clump.
Test Necessity
If the doctor observes any symptoms of typhoid, they will prescribe the widal test. These symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Chills
- Fever
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
- Weight loss

If typhoid is left untreated, it can cause serious complications and adversely affect the organs of the body. The widal test is important to detect typhoid, as the treatment plan can start immediately after diagnosis.
