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

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?
