Hey, I'm really confused about something I came across in my test results. It mentions STyphi O 180, and I'm worried whether it indicates typhoid or some other condition. I don't have much knowledge about this, so any clarity you could provide would be super helpful.

S.Typhi O 1:80 refers to a specific blood test result that indicates a possible infection with Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. A titer of 1:80 suggests a moderate level of antibodies against the bacteria in your blood. This result is commonly seen in individuals with typhoid fever. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The recommended treatment for typhoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin, taken for a specific duration under medical supervision.

I've been dealing with swelling on the left side of my neck for about a month now. My doctor diagnosed it as lymph node tuberculosis and gave me some medication to treat it. I've been following the treatment plan for 25 days, but the swelling seems to have increased rather than decreased. Why would it get bigger while I'm on medication? Could it be spreading to other parts of my body?
yes it can be transfered to other body parts. continue medicines
