Hi, my husband Widal test report shows Typhi O 1:20 and the rest are negative. Does this mean he has typhoid or not?

A titer of 1:20 is not diagnostic of typhoid and may be due to past exposure or vaccination. Typhoid diagnosis requires higher titers or rising values in serial testing. No treatment unless clinical symptoms and higher titers are present. Repeat test in 3 to 5 days if symptoms persist.

I have attached my mother blood test report. She is having intermittent fever of 100 degrees F to 104 degrees F with no other symptoms. I want to know whether my mother has typhoid, malaria, or jaundice. Currently she is receiving the following injections as per a pharmacist advice since no doctor is consulting patients due to the COVID situation: Meromac SB 1 gm, Falcigo 60 mg, Pantop injection, Levazeo injection. What level of typhoid does my mother have mild or severe? Please help me with your inputs, experts. It will be a great help. Thank you.
