Widal test is a serological test used for the diagnosis of enteric fever or typhoid fever caused by a gram negative bacteria, Salmonella enterica. (Salmonella Typhi
or Salmonella Paratyphi).
Salmonella possess O antigen on their cell wall and H antigen on their flagella. On infection, these antigen stimulates the body to produce specific antibodies which
are released in the blood.
Widal test is used to detect these specific antibodies in the serum sample of patients suffering from typhoid using antigen-antibody interactions. These specific
antibodies can be detected in the patient’s serum after 6 days of infection.
Antibody titre greater than 1 : 80 is considered significant and usually suggests positive test for Salmonella infection.
Low titres are often in normal individuals
A single positive is less significant than the rising antibody titre, since rising titre is considered to be a definite evidence of infection.
