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:
