About the Widal Test (Typhoid)
The Widal test is a long-used blood test that checks for antibodies against the O and H antigens of Salmonella Typhi and the H antigens of Salmonella Paratyphi A and B. These bacteria cause typhoid and paratyphoid fever, together called enteric fever. Your serum is mixed with the antigens at increasing dilutions, and the highest dilution that still clumps is reported as the titre, for example 1:80 or 1:160.
- Parameters
- 4
- Sample
- Blood
- Fasting
- Not required
- Report
- Same day
Preparation
- This blood test needs no fasting.
- Count how many days you have had fever, because a sample from the first few days may be too early.
- Tell your doctor about any typhoid vaccine or earlier typhoid, since both can raise titres.
- Mention antibiotics you have recently taken, and do not start any by yourself for suspected typhoid.
- If a repeat is requested, use the same lab where possible so the two titres can be compared fairly.
Normal range
| Parameter | Typical reference range |
|---|---|
| How it is reported | Titres for TO, TH, AH and BH, such as 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, 1:160 or 1:320 |
| Often read as low | Below about 1:80 for O and below about 1:160 for H |
| Often read as significant | 1:80 or above for O, 1:160 or above for H, only alongside symptoms |
| Stronger evidence | A fourfold rise in titre between two samples 7 to 10 days apart |
Cut-offs differ by region and lab, and your report’s interpretation takes precedence. No single titre proves or rules out typhoid. Ranges are typical adult values and vary between labs, age and sex. Always use the range printed on your report and discuss results with your doctor.
