Question 1

Hi, I got my father report done for fever, but I am not sure how to interpret it regarding typhoid. The Widal test (tube method) results are
TO is 1:60
TH is less than 1:30
AH is 1:120
BH is less than 1:30
Could you please help me understand whether these results indicate typhoid or not?

Question 2

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are:
AH: 1:80
BH: 1:80
TH: 1:160
TO: 1:320
Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?

Question 3

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?

In my Widal test report, the O antigen reacted at 1:320, and the H antigen reacted at 1:320. The AH antigen and BH antigen were non reactive.

High titres suggest active typhoid. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like cefixime or azithromycin. Follow full course, maintain hygiene and hydration. Avoid raw food.
