Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.

You may still be recovering or having a lingering post-infection effect. Repeated positive reports may not always mean active infection.

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.

Hi Doctor, I received my Widal test report, which shows O is 1:160 and H is 1:80. I am experiencing only a cold, cough, and occasional weakness. Please let me know if this indicates typhoid.

I have had a headache and cold for the last 2 to 3 days, and I also feel body ache. My serology/Widal slide test report shows: S. typhi O 1/80 positive, S. typhi H 1/80 positive, S. paratyphi AH 1/40 negative, S. paratyphi BH 1/40 negative. I want to confirm, do I have typhoid or not?
