I have been having fever and a little weakness for the past 5 days. I was prescribed medicines for the same. I did a blood checkup today. Urine and hematology reports reveal normal results. But results of WIDAL SLIDE mention S. Typhi 'O' as positive (1:80). Do I have typhoid? I am travelling out of the country in 3 days and need inputs asap.

A titer of 1:80 may indicate early typhoid or past exposure. If you are improving, continue meds. Stay hydrated. Repeat Widal or consider TyphiDot test if fever persists.

My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report: S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive) S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive) S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative) S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative) Other Tests: Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative Dengue IgG: Negative Dengue IgM: Negative Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

Hello sir/maam, my Widal test report is Typhi O 1:160, Typhi H 1:160, Typhi AH 1:80, and Typhi BH 1:80. Am I suffering from typhoid or not?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
