I'm trying to understand what "salmonella typhi TH 240" means. My result showed salmonella typhi TO 60. Does this indicate a ratio of 140? I'm experiencing a really high fever and feeling concerned. Can you explain this to me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A "salmonella typhi TH = 240" means a high level of antibodies against Salmonella typhi, indicating a possible ongoing or recent infection. Your "TO = 60" suggests a lower antibody level, but it does not exactly represent a 1:40 ratio. Given your very high fever, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

View allI'm really worried and need some guidance. After being exposed, when do HIV symptoms typically start to appear? Or is it possible that there might not be any noticeable symptoms at all? Can you explain this to me?
HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with some people experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes, while others may not show any symptoms at all; this asymptomatic period can last for years, making it essential to get tested for HIV if you've been exposed or engaged in high-risk activities, as early detection and treatment can significantly improve health outcomes.
