I got a Widal test for typhoid yesterday and my report is S. Typhi O 1:160, S. Typhi H 1:80, S. Paratyphi AH 1:20, S. Paratyphi BH 1:20. Is it positive or negative?

A TO titer of 1:160 may indicate current infection, especially with fever. Start antibiotics only after consulting a doctor. Do the required blood culture if fever persists. Stay hydrated

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I have had a headache and cold for the last 2 to 3 days, and I also feel body ache. My serology/Widal slide test report shows: S. typhi O 1/80 positive, S. typhi H 1/80 positive, S. paratyphi AH 1/40 negative, S. paratyphi BH 1/40 negative. I want to confirm, do I have typhoid or not?

I have had a low grade fever for two months. My doctor advised some blood tests, which show typhoid, WBC count of 16,000, and ESR of 70. What should I do?

My brother has typhoid, but the doctor prescribed me Tab Cifran 250, Tab Dolo 650, and Tab Becosules. I feel these tablets may not be proper. Can I take these tablets? My blood report shows Salmonella typhi O: 1:160, Salmonella typhi H: 1:160, Salmonella paratyphi AH: 1:20, and Salmonella paratyphi BH: 1:20. What precautions should be taken?
