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.

My daughter is deficient in vitamin D, B12, and iron. Her urine report shows 8 to 9 pus cells and epithelial cells positive. Widal test report is S Typhi O 1:80, S Typhi H 1:40, S Paratyphi AH 1:20, S Paratyphi BH 1:20. Is she suffering from typhoid?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a Widal test report. TO is 1:160 positive, TH is negative, AH is negative, and BH is negative. I took Ciprobid 500 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days. The doctor asked me to stop the tablets for seven days and get the report again, saying it may become negative. Is this possible? I need to submit a negative report for my foreign employment as a hotelier. My physician said it is impossible and that TO can remain the same without any rise for a long time.
