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?

1:80 is a low titer, may not indicate active typhoid. Could be viral or common cold. Monitor symptoms.

Three days ago, I developed fever and body pain. After one day, my health condition worsened, and I am feeling very weak. My Widal test report shows: TYPHY O +1:160, TYPHY H +1:80, TYPHY AH +1:40, TYPHY BH 1:20.

My Widal test report from two weeks ago shows S. Typhi O at 1:160 and S. Typhi H at 1:320. I am a 34 year old male and would like to know if this indicates typhoid. If yes, please suggest the appropriate diet and medications. Additionally, a few bacteria were found in my urine, and some white fat was observed in the blood sample during the test.

Hello doctor, I am currently undergoing treatment for pleural tuberculosis and have completed 2 months of therapy. I still have a mild fever of 99 to 99.5. My doctor told me to go for a Widal test and after the test he prescribed me cefixime and ofloxacin tablet. Doctor, I am attaching my Widal test report. Can you look at it? Thank you in advance.
