SGRD Widal Test
SGRD Widal Test is a blood test commonly used as part of laboratory evaluation for suspected typhoid or enteric fever. The test detects agglutinating antibodies against Salmonella organisms using the slide agglutination method.
SGRD Widal Test Overview
SGRD Widal Test Also Known As
Widal Test (Slide Method), Typhoid Test (Slide Method), and Typhoid Test (Slide Agglutination).
The Widal test is a serological test that may be used during the laboratory evaluation of suspected enteric fever. Test interpretation should be performed together with clinical symptoms, medical history and other relevant investigations.
About SGRD Widal Test
The SGRD Widal Test is a blood-based laboratory test used to detect agglutinating antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi antigens. It is commonly associated with the laboratory evaluation of suspected typhoid or enteric fever.
The test may be requested when symptoms such as prolonged fever, weakness, headache, abdominal discomfort or other clinical features raise suspicion of enteric fever.
A Widal test result should not be interpreted on its own. Antibody levels can be influenced by previous infection, vaccination, timing of testing and other factors. A healthcare professional should interpret the result along with clinical findings and other investigations.
Tests Included in SGRD Widal Test
Widal slide agglutination testing for Salmonella Typhi O antigen.
Widal slide agglutination testing for Salmonella Typhi H antigen.
Widal slide agglutination testing for Salmonella Paratyphi A H antigen.
Widal slide agglutination testing for Salmonella Paratyphi B H antigen.

Understanding Your SGRD Widal Test Report
Your SGRD laboratory report may provide the observed agglutination reaction or titre information for the tested Salmonella antigens, according to the laboratory testing method and reporting format.
Interpretation of Widal results depends on several factors, including the patient's symptoms, duration of illness, previous exposure, vaccination history and laboratory methodology.
A positive Widal result does not by itself confirm typhoid fever. Similarly, a negative result does not necessarily exclude infection, particularly depending on the timing of testing.
Why Is Widal Testing Used?
The Widal test may be used as one part of the laboratory assessment of suspected enteric fever. It detects agglutinating antibodies against selected Salmonella antigens.
The test includes four antigen reactions in this package: Salmonella Typhi O, Salmonella Typhi H, Salmonella Paratyphi A H and Salmonella Paratyphi B H.
Because antibody responses may vary during the course of illness, the Widal result should be evaluated in clinical context rather than being used as the sole basis for diagnosis or treatment.
