Lab Report New

The document is a laboratory report for Mr. Mousuf Alam, detailing the results of a Widal test for typhoid fever conducted on August 10, 2025. The test indicates positive agglutination for S. typhi at dilutions of 1:20 and 1:40, while S. paratyphi A and B show no agglutination. It emphasizes that a positive result should be confirmed with blood culture/PCR and that clinical correlation is necessary for diagnosis.

DEPARTMENT OF SEROLOGY

WIDAL (SLIDE AGGLUTINATION TEST)

1:20 1:40 1:80 1:160 1:320


S. typhi (O) + + - - -
S. typhi (H) + + - - -
S. paratyphi A (H) - - - - -
S. paratyphi B (H) - - - - -

Biological Ref. Index: '+' = Agglutination is seen, '-' = No Agglutination is seen.

Note:

Antibodies to 'H' and 'O' antigens begin to arise during end of first week. The test may be negative in early part of first week. A negative result does not rule out
typhoid fever. For negative results if typhoid fever is still observed, repeat testing after 7-10 days or alternative diagnostic method is recommended.
A positive result is not intented as a substitude for Culture. It is recommended to confirm the serological diagnosis by blood culture/PCR prior to start of
treatment.

Comments:

Sera from normal adult individual may sometimes agglutinate these antigens in moderate dilutions.
A titre of 1:80 or more for 'O' agglutinin and a titre in excess of 1:80 for 'H' agglutinin is considered significant for Salmonella Typhi and titre >= 1:80 of H
antigen for Salmonella paratyphi A and B are significant.
A rise in titre between two sera specimens is more meaningful than a single test. If the first sample is taken late in the disease, a rise in titre may not be
demonstrable. Instead, there may be a fall in titre. Patients already treated with antibiotics may not show any rise in titre, instead there may be fall in titre.
Patients who have received vaccines against Salmonella and patients showing anamnestic response may give false positive reactions. True untreated infection
results in rise in titre where as vaccinated individuals and anamnestic cases do not demonstrate any rise in titre on repeating the test after a week.
It's recommended that results of the test should be correlated with the clinical findings to arrive at the final diagonosis.

Sample: Inhouse Sample
