Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Widal test detects antibodies to typhoid bacteria. Positive result suggests possible typhoid. Maintain hygiene, drink safe water, and follow up with your doctor.
