Hi Doctor, I received my Widal test report, which shows O is 1:160 and H is 1:80. I am experiencing only a cold, cough, and occasional weakness. Please let me know if this indicates typhoid.

These titres may indicate past exposure or mild infection. If no fever or abdominal symptoms, typhoid is unlikely. Monitor and repeat if symptoms worsen.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

I got a Widal test for typhoid yesterday and my report is S. Typhi O 1:160, S. Typhi H 1:80, S. Paratyphi AH 1:20, S. Paratyphi BH 1:20. Is it positive or negative?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal test is positive and shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:320. Am I a typhoid patient? What is the treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have done a Widal test, and the results are positive: S. Typhi O is 1:160 and S. Typhi H is 1:80. I am not having any fever at the moment. Are these values considered high, medium, or low? How long will it take to recover, and could you please suggest any appropriate treatment or medicines?
