The Widal test involves collecting a blood sample and testing it for antibodies against Salmonella typhi and related serotypes.
No, the Widal test specifically detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi and is not used to diagnose other infections.
Positive results indicate exposure to Salmonella typhi, suggesting current or past infection, while negative results indicate no significant antibody response.
Recent vaccination against typhoid fever or certain medications may interfere with the accuracy of Widal test results.
