Question 1

My father has been experiencing fever for the last 3 days. His Widal test report shows S. Paratyphi O antigen at 1:80 and S. Paratyphi H antigen at 1:80. I would like to know if these results are normal or if they clearly indicate typhoid. Please clarify if we need to be concerned.

Question 2

Hi. In my Widal test report, S. typhi O is 1:320 and S. typhi H is 1:80. I started having fever on 6th November. After one week, I vomited three times a day and had loose motions, so I took two drips a day and medicines to stop the loose motions and vomiting. My blood pressure also went down to 80 by 60. Since 13th November until now, I have had loose motions and slight fever. I also experience stomach pain and bloating. I feel tired almost all day long. Is it typhoid or something else?

Question 3

I have attached my mother blood test report. She is having intermittent fever of 100 degrees F to 104 degrees F with no other symptoms. I want to know whether my mother has typhoid, malaria, or jaundice. Currently she is receiving the following injections as per a pharmacist advice since no doctor is consulting patients due to the COVID situation: Meromac SB 1 gm, Falcigo 60 mg, Pantop injection, Levazeo injection. What level of typhoid does my mother have mild or severe? Please help me with your inputs, experts. It will be a great help. Thank you.

This is my report: S. typhi O is 1:320 S. typhi H is 1:160 S. typhi AH is Negative S. typhi BH is Negative Please tell me what this report means. Do I have typhoid or not?

Titers above 1:160 suggest typhoid exposure, especially if there are symptoms. Confirm with blood culture if possible.
