Hi Sir, my child blood report shows a total count of 18,900 per cumm. Does this indicate an infection in the blood? Please advise. The typhoid range is 1:160 TO, TH.

A high total leukocyte count like 18,900 suggests infection. Typhoid titer of 1:160 is borderline and could indicate early typhoid or a past infection. Clinical symptoms and repeat testing may help clarify the diagnosis.

Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are: AH: 1:80 BH: 1:80 TH: 1:160 TO: 1:320 Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?
