View allI'm really concerned about my widal test results and I'm hoping you can help me understand them. The results show agglutination with "O" at a 1160 titer, but there's no agglutination with H, AH, or BH. Does this mean I have typhoid? What do these numbers indicate, and should I be worried about any specific symptoms or follow-up tests? I'm just a bit anxious and want to be sure about what's going on with my health.

What are the chances I could get rabies if I missed the 3rd shot and ended up taking it later along with the 4th? I got bitten by a stray cat on December 5, 2017. The bite wasn't too deep, but it was bleeding a bit. I washed it with soap and put on some Soframycin as soon as I got home. I had my first shot on December 6, the second on December 9, but then I missed the third one which I later took on December 20 along with the fourth shot. The fifth shot was on December 27, and I'm supposed to have my last one on January 3. Should I be worried about rabies?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Based on the information provided, your: NT (nuchal translucency) at 13 weeks was slightly elevated (3.2mm), but amniocentesis and NIPT reports showed low risk. Please share the 20-week anomaly scan report for a more accurate assessment. Generally, a 20-week scan checks for fetal anatomy and detects potential abnormalities. A healthcare professional or a fetal medicine specialist should review the report to confirm if everything appears normal.

Can you use a vacutainer needle without a safety lock on a different patient if its already been used on someone else? Also, is there a risk that the blood might clot in the needle, causing it not to work properly? What are the chances of someone getting HIV if blood is accidentally drawn with a needle that's already been used? Even if the blood is flowing out and not in, is there still a risk of HIV transmission?
kindly don't use contaminated needles or Vacutainer's and follow proper sterilized methods . Yes, there is a chance of transmission of various infections not only HIV. There are many other infections as well.
