I'm looking at my widal test results and I'm a bit worried. The values are showing Salmonella Typhi O Antigen at 140 and Salmonella Typhi H Antigen also at 140. Salmonella Paratyphi AH and BH Antigens are both at 120. Does this mean the test is negative? And if so, does that rule out typhoid completely or is there still a chance it could develop later?

I'm really worried because a rat bit me 45 days ago on my finger and I haven't gotten a rabies shot or a tetanus injection yet. Is it dangerous to start the vaccinations now after so much time has passed? Should I be concerned about any symptoms or complications?

its always better to vaccinate before 48hrs

I'm feeling quite anxious about my test results. My neutrophils are at 84, and my erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 23mmhr. I've also got a pus cell count of 5-6 hpf. The results show Salmonella typhi O and H both at 1:160, while Salmonella paratyphi A and B are negative. It says negative for dengue and malaria. My RBC count is 5.61 millioncmm, platelet count is 2.13 lakhscmm, and haemoglobin is 16.2 gdl. My WBC is at 7000 cellscumm. The doctor suggested that I get admitted, but I'm really pressed for time and can't afford to do that right now. What should I do?

Hi from the reports it seems to be like typhoid fever. The decision of admission must be taken by you and your doctor after discussion of the condition

I had sex multiple times with a sex worker and even tried oral. I'm kinda worried now, is there any chance I might have caught an STD or even HIV from this?

Yes, there's a risk of contracting STDs, including HIV, especially if protection wasn't used consistently. Oral sex carries a lower risk but isn't completely safe. It's important to get tested promptly to ensure your health and peace of mind.
