Specificity and Sensitivity

The Widal test is severely hampered by its low sensitivity and specificity and, in general, by its erratic performance. Such is the degree of uncertainty of this test as a diagnostic tool for Typhoid fever that its use in the majority of the developed countries has been abandoned. The article is not assertive enough in discussing this issue.
