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?

These suggest chronic or unresolved infection. Repeat blood culture and Widal, and test for TB (Mantoux or Quantiferon TB Gold). Consult a physician soon.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a Widal Test Test

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.

Can COVID 19 cause a false positive typhoid result? Please clear my doubt. Today, I was confirmed typhoid positive. Here is my report.
