Modifications influencing Widal test reactivity in a novel microplate assay.
Reliability of the Widal tube agglutination test has been the subject of many controversies over the years. This study was performed to assess the effect of certain modifications on the performance of Widal test in a novel microplate assay. Sera from 37 patients (21 males; 16 females) (mean age 28 +/- 7 years) were tested in the Immunology Unit at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh. Among ...

متن کاملStandardisation of the Widal test.
In the past, a number of studies had been carried out to evaluate the significance and interpretation of a single Widal result in the diagnosis of typhoid fever in this country. Hand/or o agglutinin titres of ~1:40 to ~1 :500 had been recommended as significant levels in the absence of paired sera results. 1 , 2 , 3 Though at least two of the authors had acknowledged that these ~ criteria were ...
متن کاملComparison of the diagnostic value of local Widal slide test with imported Widal slide test.
A laboratory study comparing the Widal slide agglutination test using local antigens produced by Mekar Jaya Diagnostica (SAT-MJD) with imported antigens (Murex, Abbott) was carried out on 55 sera of typhoid fever patients with positive blood culture and 56 sera of non-typhoid febrile patients. The SAT-MJD antigens consisted of a mixture of 5 different phage-types of S. typhi dominantly found in...
