About This Test

The WIDAL Test is a serological assay that detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi and paratyphi antigens, the bacteria that cause typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. It supports clinical diagnosis in endemic regions where symptoms suggest enteric fever. The test uses patient blood serum mixed with bacterial antigens on slides; visible clumping indicates antibody presence. It helps confirm infection and monitor treatment response, but may yield false positives in vaccinated individuals or those with past infections. Blood collection requires no special preparation. Raktim Medical Diagnostic offers professional home sample collection and accurate interpretation, supporting the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases.
