I have attached my Widal test report. The test was done on the sixth day of the fever, which was around 103 degrees F. Please tell me whether it is typhoid or not, as I have received two different opinions from two doctors. I am very confused.

Widal test on day 6 can be unreliable. If TO or TH titres are less than equal 1:160, it may suggest typhoid. A blood culture in the first week is more confirmatory.

Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

Please find the attached blood report and confirm if I have typhoid or not. I am worried about this.

Please find attached my blood test report. Could you please advise if I have Typhoid? If not, what precautions or dietary measures should I take to prevent infection?
