Widal Test Kit
The test detects the presence of antibodies that our body makes against salmonella bacteria in the case of being infected by Salmonella Typhi (with antigens S. Typhi O and S. Typhi H), or Salmonella Paratyphi (with antigens S. Paratyphi A and S. Paratyphi B).
If a particular antibody is present in the serum (i.e. if the patient has been infected by these antigens), it will react with a specific antigen and show visible clumping on the test card.
