I have been experiencing continuous headache for the past 4 to 5 days along with intermittent fever. My malaria test is negative, and according to the lab assistant, my typhoid test is positive. My typhoid report shows: O: 1:120 TH: 1:60 BH and AH: Not detected I am confused whether this indicates typhoid or not, and if not, what could be causing my headache and fever? Please advise.

Widal test shows possible typhoid if titres are greater than or equal to 1:160, but your titres are borderline. Widal alone is not reliable, get Typhidot IgM or blood culture for confirmation. Persistent headache and fever should be further evaluated by a doctor.

My Widal test report shows, Typhi O antigen 1:80, Typhi H antigen 1:160, Para Typhi A (H) 1:40, and Para Typhi B (H) no agglutination seen. The test result is positive. Please explain what this means.

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?
