Question regarding WIDAL
I started having fever from 07 August 2019 and from then onwards my doctor started prescribing antibiotics. My question is that if I am consuming antibiotics from past 09 days, will it affect the results of WIDAL test.
Can the positive results turn false negative after consumption of antibiotics.
