These titers are borderline and may indicate past infection or cross reactivity. No active typhoid without other symptoms. Correlate clinically.

My mother blood report shows S. Typhi antigen O 1:160 and S. Typhi antigen H 1:160. The doctor has prescribed Opox CV 200 for 15 days. She has become very weak. Should we admit her to the hospital or wait for the Opox CV to work? Should the medicine be changed?

I started having a fever, and since then, my doctor has been prescribing antibiotics. My question is whether consuming antibiotics for the past 9 days will affect the results of the Widal test. Can positive results turn into false negatives after taking antibiotics?

Three days ago, I developed fever and body pain. After one day, my health condition worsened, and I am feeling very weak. My Widal test report shows: TYPHY O +1:160, TYPHY H +1:80, TYPHY AH +1:40, TYPHY BH 1:20.
