I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results which came back with O at 140 and H at 180. I'm also pregnant, so I'm really concerned about whether these results indicate a positive or negative for typhoid fever. Could you help me understand what this means for my health and my pregnancy?

it means typhoid only but it is not a very specific test esp if done before 7 days of fever. kindly get a blood culture to confirm the same
