Question

I'm trying to understand a test result for salmonella typhio. It shows 140, but everything else is at 120. What does this mean? Can you explain it to me?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who's had a fever for about a week now. The fever comes and goes and our family doctor suggested a Widal test. His results came back with S. typhi O 180, S. Typhi H 180, S. Paratyphi AH 120, and S. Paratyphi BH 120. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Could you tell me if it looks like he has typhoid?

Question

I'm dealing with this recurring infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, and it keeps showing up every couple of months since it first appeared in January 2019. I've had it in various placeslike my knee, finger, chin, nose, and scrotum. Even after seeing multiple doctors and taking antibiotics like Linezolid and Clarithromycin, the infection just popped up again on my right scrotum, and every time it brings on a fever. I've even had surgery for a carbuncle on my knee under anesthesia. The pus and blood cultures both came back positive for Staph A, but my nasal swab results were negative both times, and blood cultures were too. I'm really struggling to figure out why this keeps happening and would appreciate any guidance on how to stop these infections from coming back. What could be causing this, and is there anything specific I should be doing to prevent it?

Question

I had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?
