My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report: S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive) S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive) S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative) S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative) Other Tests: Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative Dengue IgG: Negative Dengue IgM: Negative Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

This indicates moderate to high typhoid. Oral antibiotics like cefixime or azithromycin may be started. Pediatrician must assess severity.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

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

Hi, my husband Widal test report shows Typhi O 1:20 and the rest are negative. Does this mean he has typhoid or not?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?
