Question 1

I recently had tests done due to fever. The Widal test showed typhoid positive, but the Typhidot test was negative. My CBC report shows: low RBC, low lymphocytes, low platelet count, low PCV, high MCV, and high MCH. Along with this, I am experiencing consistent pain between my chest and stomach, joint pain, tiredness, and back pain including along the spine. At night, my back pain increases, and when I wake up I feel a lot of pain in my arms, shoulders, back, and legs. The pain reduces when I am active at work, but worsens again when I take rest. Given these test results and symptoms, what could be the possible diagnosis?

Question 2

I have been experiencing body pains for the past 5 days and developed a fever yesterday after traveling. Today, I had a Widal test, and the results are O: 1:80, H: 1:80. What treatment is required?

Question 3

Sir, in my Widal test report S Typhi O is written 1:160 positive and others Typhi H, Typhi AH, and Typhi BH are negative. What does it mean? From which disease am I suffering?

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?

These titres indicate recent typhoid infection. Antibiotics (e.g. cefixime) may be prescribed. Take fluids, rest, avoid spicy food. Repeat Widal after treatment if needed.
