Typhoid: The widal test is an agglutination test that detects antibodies to salmonella typhi, the cause of typhoid fever (also called enteric fever). A single titer doesn't make the diagnosis, and any treatment has to be based on all the symptoms and findings. Typhoid fever is usually treated with Ciprofloxacin by mouth or Ceftriaxone by injection - neither is harmful to the liver.
