Widal titres suggest typhoid exposure. High triglycerides and xanthomas may indicate lipid metabolism issue. Start treatment for infection and consult for lipid management.

Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?

Hi doctor, I received my Widal test report which shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. The report result is marked as positive. What types of medicine should I take, and what precautions should I follow?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
