During the Widal Test

You can wait a couple of hours after booking the test once the slot is available. The phlebotomist will arrive at your location and conduct the test within a couple of minutes. The blood will be collected from the vein of the arm under all aseptic precautions. It is made sure that the vein on your arm is found comfortably using a vein finder.

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.
