Table 2 shows that of 82 cases, PCR identified 59 (71.9%) positive cases, blood culture identified 28 (34.1%) positive cases, and the Widal test identified 30 (36.5%) positive cases. Table 3 compares the tests on a control healthy group and typhoid patients, showing the Widal test identified 44% of healthy controls as positive while PCR identified 71.9% and blood culture 34.1% of typhoid patients as positive.
