The Widal test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against Salmonella Typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever, in a person's blood. The test is named after Georges-Fernand Widal, the French physician who developed it.

The Widal test is performed by taking a sample of a person's blood and adding it to a solution containing antigens (proteins) from S. Typhi. If the person has antibodies against S. Typhi in their blood, they will bind to the antigens in the solution, forming visible clumps. The presence of these clumps indicates a positive result for the Widal test.

The Widal test is used to help diagnose typhoid fever, but it is not a definitive test. A positive result may indicate that a person has been exposed to S. Typhi, but it does not necessarily mean that they have typhoid fever. Other tests, such as culturing the bacteria from a person's blood or stool, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

The Widal test is done to help diagnose typhoid fever, which is a serious illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. Symptoms of typhoid fever include fever, weakness, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea or constipation.

The Widal test is usually recommended for people who have symptoms of typhoid fever and have recently travelled to a region where the disease is common. It may also be recommended for people who have been in close contact with someone who has typhoid fever.
