What High Widal Test Means

Positive Widal (titer 1:160 or above for O antigen): SUGGESTIVE of typhoid but NOT confirmatory. Many false positives in India due to endemic exposure and previous vaccination. Typhidot or blood culture are more reliable.

Typhoid Fever

What Low Widal Test Means

Negative Widal in first week doesn't rule out typhoid — antibodies take 7-10 days to develop. Repeat after 1 week if typhoid suspected.
