3. The recommended Widal test is by Tube Agglutination Method
Comments
This test measures somatic O and flagellar H antibodies against Typhoid and Paratyphoid bacilli. The
agglutinins usually appear at the end of the first week of infection and increase steadily till third / fourth
week after which the decline starts. A positive Widal test may occur because of typhoid vaccination or
previous typhoid infection and in certain autoimmune diseases. Non specific febrile disease may cause
this titre to increase (anamnestic reaction). The test may be falsely negative in cases of Enteric fever
treated with antibiotics in the early stages. The recommended test specially in the first week after infection
is Blood Culture.
