Also called the widal agglutination test or the typhoid test, the widal test slide method is an advanced test that checks the blood for antibodies and antigens.
The test analyses the following:
- Detects antibodies in the blood against flagellar (H) and somatic (O) antigens that cause typhoid infection.
- The interactions between antibodies and antigens in the blood samples are analyzed.
- If typhoid antibodies are present in the blood, they will react with the antigen and show visible clumping. This is called agglutination.
Test Necessity
The widal test is prescribed by the doctor if they suspect that the patient has developed typhoid. Some of the symptoms of typhoid are:
- Fever
- Fatigue and exhaustion
- Chills
- Headache
- Weight loss
- Abdominal pain
- Rashes
- Constipation
Typhoid can cause serious complications and, if left untreated, can affect many organs. The widal test is important as once typhoid is confirmed, the doctor can take prompt action and recommend the best treatment.
Test Preparation
You are not required to fast before the widal test. If you are taking any medication, inform the doctor so they can suggest some precautions.
