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?

Low titers (1:80) may be nonspecific. Symptoms plus pus cells suggest infection, possibly UTI. Vitamin deficiencies must be corrected. Typhoid needs confirmation by blood culture. See a pediatrician.

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.

My Widal test report shows O antigen positive up to 1:160, H antigen positive up to 1:40, AH antigen positive up to 1:40, and BH antigen positive up to 1:40. Please explain what this means and advise what I should do?

I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?
