Term
Widal Test
Definition

-serological test

-based on discoveries made by Durham-von Gruber

Serological agglutination test for typhoid fever.

The test is based on the presence of agglutinating antibodies against paratyphoid bacteria in the patient’s serum. It is mainly used for indirect confirmation of salmonellosis (as against typhus abdominalis, paratyphus, and brucelloses), but also for diagnosing infectional diseases like shigelloses, tularaemia and spotted fever. 

- discovered Bacterial agglutination

-It was first briefly reported by Durham, and then described by Gruber and Durham
