Hello sir/maam, my Widal test report is Typhi O 1:160, Typhi H 1:160, Typhi AH 1:80, and Typhi BH 1:80. Am I suffering from typhoid or not?

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

Hi doctor, I received my Widal test report which shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. The report result is marked as positive. What types of medicine should I take, and what precautions should I follow?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
