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'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?
Continue same treatment.

Hey, I just had a weird experience where a mouse bit my finger. There wasn't any visible cut or bleeding, but it felt like it pinched. There's a small bump now and I'm not sure if it's related to the bite. I washed it thoroughly with Lifebuoy soap for a couple of minutes, used Dettol, and even applied extra Dettol on the spot. I got an anti-tetanus shot last year and a rabies booster just a couple of months ago, so I'm curious if I'm still at risk for anything like Hantavirus since there wasn't a clear break in the skin. Just wondering if there's anything else I should do. What are your thoughts?
Since there was no visible break in the skin or bleeding, the risk of infection (including rabies and hantavirus) is significantly lower, You're well-protected with your recent anti-rabies and tetanus shots. No additional doses are necessary unless advised by a healthcare provider. if area becomes red or swollen or painfull then consult a doctor
