What is normal Widal test results?
There is no specific "normal" or standard Widal test result. The interpretation of the Widal test depends on various factors, including the laboratory reference values and the individual's baseline antibody levels. Generally, low or negative titers (such as 1:20 or lower) for antibodies against Salmonella typhi are considered within the normal range. However, it's important to note that the Widal test alone is not sufficient to confirm or rule out typhoid fever. The test results should be evaluated in conjunction with clinical symptoms, patient history, and other diagnostic tests to establish an accurate diagnosis. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential for proper interpretation of the Widal test results.
