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.

The Widal test provides supportive evidence for diagnosing typhoid fever but is often used in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests for confirmation.

The Prolactin Serum Test measures the level of prolactin hormone in the blood, assessing pituitary gland function and hormonal balance.

It is used to diagnose pituitary disorders, investigate unexplained symptoms, evaluate hormonal imbalances, and monitor treatment for related conditions.

Fasting is not required, but avoid a large meal before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the test.

It can help diagnose conditions such as prolactinomas, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine disorders affecting prolactin levels.
