About widal test

Why is the widal test done?

A widal test is done if you develop the following symptoms:

  • High fever
  • Fatigue
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Pain in abdomen
  • Rashes
  • Dry cough
  • Headache
What does a widal test measure?

The widal test is used for detecting antibodies in the blood against two antigens (O & H) of Salmonella enterica, the typhoid-causing bacteria. Agglutination refers to the clumping of particles that happens when an antigen gets mixed with its antibody. When this test is done using a slide, it is called slide agglutination. Similarly, when it is done using a test tube, it is called tube agglutination. Generally, tube agglutination is used more frequently than slide agglutination in the widal test. Apart from Salmonella Typhi antigens “H” and “O”, S. Paratyphi antigen “H” is used in this test.

One week after developing the typhoid fever, the antibodies against Salmonella antigens “O” and “H” usually appear in the serum. Another widal test can be done 7-10 days after the first one to examine the levels of antibodies.

Risks/side effects of widal test

No side effects are associated with a widal test, although, for a few days, some pain might be felt in the area from where the blood is taken using a needle.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the widal test results

Reference Range: If the widal test result for antigen O and antigen H is greater than or equal to 1:80, it means that you have typhoid fever.

  • If anti-Salmonella antibodies are present in the blood, they will cause a reaction with the antigen in the substance that acts as a catalyst. This will result in slide agglutination.
  • Serum samples having O agglutination titer of 1:80 or higher and an H agglutination titer of 1:160 or higher signify current typhoid infection.
  • A visible rise in titers in the two blood tests done after a gap period of 10 days indicates typhoid infection.
  • History of previous ailments with typhoid infection can influence your widal test results. Immunization against the fever can also do the same. The widal test is more effective if the previous encounter with the infection was short or in control.
  • Some other tests can be done for diagnosing typhoid fever. If the widal test report is negative, the blood culture test report will be positive in the first week of the infection. Another test, typhidot, can also be used within one week of the appearance of the symptoms. In this, a person’s serum sample is taken.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
