Titres greater than or equal to 1:160 in endemic areas may indicate typhoid, especially with fever. But single Widal is not definitive. If you have fever, a blood culture is more reliable.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Doctor, my Widal blood test report shows TO 1:160, TH 1:80, while AH and BH are negative. I want to confirm whether I have typhoid fever or not.
