What Is This Test?
The Widal test by tube agglutination measures antibody titres against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi.

Supports the diagnosis of typhoid fever; the tube method gives more precise titres than the slide method, and a rising titre is more meaningful.
Who should take this test?
Fever lasting more than 2–3 days, chills, body ache, rash, headache or vomiting — especially in monsoon season.
