The blood test says Salmonella Typhi O and H 1:80 positive. What does it mean? Please let me know.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A Widal test showing Salmonella Typhi O and H 1:80 positive indicates exposure to typhoid bacteria but may not confirm active infection. Low titres like 1:80 can sometimes occur due to past infection or vaccination. If there are symptoms like fever, weakness, or abdominal pain, consult your doctor for evaluation. A Typhoid IgM test or blood culture is more reliable to confirm active typhoid infection if needed.

My Widal report shows S. Paratyphi A from 1/20 to 1/160 are all positive, S. Typhi H and O are positive at 1/20, and S. Paratyphi B is negative. All other sections are negative. Do I have typhoid disease? What should I do regarding this? Is it in a lethal or dangerous condition or is there no need to be anxious?

My 2 year 10 month old child has been having fever for the last 4 days. We did CBC and urine tests, which were normal, and dengue and malaria tests, which were negative. The fever subsided on the 5th day but returned on the 6th day, with the child head and body feeling very hot and temperatures above 101F. After taking Paracetamol 250 mg, the temperature temporarily reduced, but it rises again after about 6 hours.
