How do you interpret widal test results for typhoid fever?
Widal test is an agglutination test for the detection of agglutinins (antibodies) for H and O antigen for salmonella in patients with enteric fever. Procedure: Serial dilutions of the patients serum is taken from 1:10 to 1:640. To each equal volumes of Salmonella antigens are added. The tubes are incubated overnight and read. Result: The highest dilution of the patients serum in which agglutinations occurs is noted, ex. if the dilution is 1 in 160 then the titer is 169. A single test of O titer of 1:100 or more and of H titer of 1:200 or more is significant. A rising titer of four fold or higher in an interval of 7 - 10 days is more meaningful than one test. Cautionary factors: In endemic areas, low titer of agglutinins is present in the serum of normal persons. Immunisation with TAB vaccine will show high titres of antibodies to S. typhi, S. paratyphi A and B. (in an infection there will be rise in only one type of antibodies) Person who have had past enteric infections or immunisations may develop anamestic reaction during unreleated fever like malaria. There is only a transient rise. Bacterial antigens used may contain fimbrial antigens which give false positive results. Cases treated early with chloramphenicol show poor antibody response. Test maybe positive in carriers

It is unknown how many deaths "Typhoid Mary" was responsible for.
Her real name was Mary Mallon, and at first she was hired by New York banker Charles Henry Warren to be his family's cook during a summer holiday on Long Island. Shortly afterwards, one of Warren's daughters contracted typhoid fever. Next, Mrs Warren and two maids became ill, followed by the gardener and another of Warren's daughters. The owners of the holiday property hired investigators to find the cause.
Investigator George Soper, a civil engineer with experience in typhoid fever outbreaks, found that from 1900 to 1907, Mallon had worked at seven jobs in which 22 people had become ill with typhoid fever. The case that Mallon was a carrier was difficult to prove, as Mallon herself was perfectly healthy, showing no signs whatsoever of the disease. However, after being forcibly taken to the Willard Parker Hospital in New York, Mallon was shown to be harbouring Typhoid bacilli. She was then quarantined for several years, only being released on the condition that she no longer work as a cook.
Unable to find work that paid as well as a cook's wages, Typhoid Mary returned to cooking five years later at the Sloane Maternity Hospital in Manhattan, under the name of Mrs Brown. Another 25 people became ill with typhoid fever, and two of them died. Mallon was tracked down, and quarantined for another 23 years. Mallon eventually died on 11 November 1938.
