Question 1

I have been recovering from typhoid for the past two weeks and am feeling much better now. However, my recent blood test shows the following Widal test result
Patient sera found reactive to Salmonella antigens O and H in the following dilutions.
Impression is Titre Insignificant
Could you please explain what this means?

Question 2

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?

Question 3

I recently had a Typhidot IgM test, which came back weak positive two days ago. My father arranged for a railway doctor in my hometown, who, after reviewing my report, prescribed Azithromycin 1 gm in the morning and Levofloxacin 750 mg at night. Today is my second day of medication and the sixth day of typhoid symptoms. My fever goes down after taking the medicines, but a mild fever (98.8 to 99.1F) returns after 8 to 9 hours. I am very nervous because of the many negative stories about typhoid online, and I am alone in Delhi. I am concerned whether this dose is appropriate or too high, and whether this treatment is safe and effective.

My son, who is 5 years and 4 months old, has his Widal test results as follows, Salmonella typhi O 1:160 positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 positive, Salmonella typhi AH 1:80 positive, and Salmonella typhi BH 1:40 negative. Does this mean he has typhoid? What treatment should be followed?

A Widal titre of 1:160 suggests a possible infection, but symptoms matter too. If your child has fever and digestive issues, a pediatrician may start antibiotics. Ensure hydration and follow up with doctor. Please repeat the Widal test or do a blood culture as advised to confirm the diagnosis
