I recently had a blood test for Typhidot IgM, and the result came back reactive, but I never experienced fever or other typical typhoid symptoms. I have started taking medicines, but now I feel weak and dizzy. Could you please explain what a reactive Typhidot IgM result means? Does it definitely mean I have typhoid? What should I do next?

False positives can occur. If no clinical signs, it may not be typhoid. Weakness post viral or after antibiotics is common.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test

My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath for the last four days along with nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, nervousness, and anxiety. All her vital signs are within normal range including an oxygen saturation of 98 percent and her blood report is also normal. She is a breastfeeding mother of a two month old child. We have consulted both a medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist and they have suggested that the problem is related to anxiety. We are concerned whether this could be something else or possibly COVID. Please guide.

She has a high fever, swelling around her eyes, and weakness. I have attached her blood report for malaria, which seems normal.

Is a lymphocyte count of 1.8 per k/cu mm normal or is that low?
