My Widal test is positive and shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:320. Am I a typhoid patient? What is the treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A Widal result of S. Typhi O: 1:160 and H: 1:320 may suggest typhoid infection, especially with symptoms (fever, weakness). If taken after 5 to 7 days of fever, its more reliable. You may need a 7 to 10 day antibiotic course (e.g. cefixime, azithromycin prescribed only). Drink plenty of fluids and eat soft, light meals.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a TYPHIDOT IgG AND IgM Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

Please confirm whether I have typhoid based on my Widal test results, O antigen is 1:160 and H antigen is 1:160. I have heard that values above 1:160 may suggest typhoid. I have been having chills, high fever up to 102.6F, cold, cough, and body aches. After taking Paracetamol, Aceclofenac and Cefigard 200, my symptoms have subsided. Should I continue with the same prescription? Also, my CBP is normal, and the urine report shows pus cells of 5 to 6 HPF and epithelial cells is 2 to 4 HPF.
