I got my Widal test results back and I'm kinda worried about them. The report says: Salmonella typhi O Antigen 180, Salmonella typhi H Antigen 180, Salmonella paratyphi AH Antigen 120, and Salmonella paratyphi Bh Antigen 120. Can you tell me if this means I have typhoid?

Based on your Widal test results, the elevated titers of Salmonella typhi O and H antigens suggest a possible typhoid fever infection. I recommend starting a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, ensure adequate hydration and rest for a speedy recovery. Consult with your physician before starting any medication.

View allI'm looking at my wife's Widal test results, and I'm a bit concerned. The report shows S Typhi O 120, H 120, and S paratyphi AH 120, BH 120. Does this mean she has typhoid? Can you explain what these figures mean and if we should be worried about a typhoid infection?

I had a Mantoux test about three weeks ago, and I've noticed that there's still some redness on my hand that hasn't gone away. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

I'm really confused and worried because it's been two years and my HIV tests are still negative, but I'm experiencing symptoms like nail lines, oral thrush, itchy and painful lips and tongue, swollen lymph nodes in my neck, and a burning and numb sensation in my legs and hands. Could I be a late seroconverter even though my results are negative? What should I do when my symptoms don't match the test results?
You should test for HIV viral load, and CD4 count.
