Widal titres less than 1:80 are usually non significant. It indicates past exposure or vaccination, not active infection. If febrile, consider getting a blood culture and a CBC done.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) 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?
