Dear Patient,

Widal test is obselte now so dont rely on it. And you should look into your hygiene and water sources. Don't drink water and beverages from outside. Have boiled water only.
Its causative organism can reside in the gall bladder but it doesn't cause an infection that frequently. So reconsider your food hygiene and sources.
