My sister, on 5 March, had a fever of 99 to 100 degrees F along with swelling in her ankles, pain in her right eye/head (pulsating type), and dizziness. The doctor advised various tests. Her blood test report showed Salmonella Typhi O 1:160 and Salmonella Typhi H 1:320. Urine test showed 8 to 10 pus cells, 15 to 20 epithelial cells, and bacteria present. She was prescribed treatment for typhoid. On 18 March, Widal test was negative, but she experienced a burning sensation during urination. A urine culture was done, and after consulting a gynecologist, Doxycycline and Urispaz were prescribed. In subsequent days, she developed fever and weakness, followed by small reddish rashes on her legs. On 29 March, a Widal test showed Sal. Typhi O 1:80 and H 1:160. She was then given Mikacin and Magnazone via IV for 5 days, but Mikacin was stopped midway. On 10 April, she experienced severe weakness, dizziness, joint pain, and her Widal test showed 1:160 and 1:320 for O and H.

Widal test fluctuates and is unreliable for treatment response. Persistent weakness, joint pain, and rashes post-infection may suggest post typhoid fatigue or reactive arthritis. A physician review is recommended.

View allI recently had some tests done. My main symptoms are feeling feverish (slightly warm body), weakness/loss of energy, and slight giddiness. My reports show: ESR is 27 (normal 0 to 19), increased RBC (erythrocytosis), increased platelets (thrombocytosis), and very low Vitamin D3 (7.54). What could be the cause of increased RBC, platelets, and ESR? Does this indicate an active infection in the body?

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?
