Kindly explain the results of my Typhidot IgG and IgM tests by ELISA. The values are Typhidot IgG is 0.19 and Typhidot IgM is 0.31. Do these values indicate typhoid fever or not?

Your Typhidot IgG (0.19) and IgM (0.31) values are low and fall below the positive threshold. This suggests that you do not currently have an active typhoid infection. If you are having ongoing fever or digestive issues, do consider getting a blood culture done.

I started having a fever, and since then, my doctor has been prescribing antibiotics. My question is whether consuming antibiotics for the past 9 days will affect the results of the Widal test. Can positive results turn into false negatives after taking antibiotics?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal test report from two weeks ago shows S. Typhi O at 1:160 and S. Typhi H at 1:320. I am a 34 year old male and would like to know if this indicates typhoid. If yes, please suggest the appropriate diet and medications. Additionally, a few bacteria were found in my urine, and some white fat was observed in the blood sample during the test.

My brother, age 16, had fever, nausea, abdominal pain and headache since 5 days. Blood report shows active infection of typhoid O 1:160, H 1:40. Can you please suggest treatment?
