What is Widal Test for Enteric Fever Diagnosis about?
The Widal test is a serological test used to detect antibodies against Salmonella enterica, particularly for diagnosing enteric fever. It involves agglutination reactions with specific antigens and can be performed qualitatively or quantitatively. While useful in resource-limited settings, the test has limitations such as false positives and negatives, and blood culture remains the gold standard for diagnosis.
