Reliability of widal test

2022-08-15 15:04:05
My widal test values are as follows: Salmonella Typhi O Antigen : 1:40 Salmonella Typhi H Antigen : 1:40 Salmonella Paratyphi AH Antigen : 1:20 Salmonella Paratyphi BH Antigen : 1:20 So is this a negative report? If yes does it mean that there's no typhoid at all or that it could later develop into typhoid?

Above report is normal, it's negative. It will not convert into typhoid later And Widal is non specific test. A person typically contracts typhoid through contaminated food and drinking water. It may also pass from person to person by carriers who do not know they carry the bacteria.

Hi., I can understand your concern. Yes reports are negative means no typhoid. Most of us will be having very mild typhoid antigen which is not problematic. It may get aggravated due to improper diet., Unhygienic food or repeated exposure to  typhoid.
Health Tips
drink adequate water make sure of hygienic food habits.
