Question 1

Hi. In my Widal test report, S. typhi O is 1:320 and S. typhi H is 1:80. I started having fever on 6th November. After one week, I vomited three times a day and had loose motions, so I took two drips a day and medicines to stop the loose motions and vomiting. My blood pressure also went down to 80 by 60. Since 13th November until now, I have had loose motions and slight fever. I also experience stomach pain and bloating. I feel tired almost all day long. Is it typhoid or something else?

Question 2

I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

Question 3

Hi Doctor, I received my Widal test report, which shows O is 1:160 and H is 1:80. I am experiencing only a cold, cough, and occasional weakness. Please let me know if this indicates typhoid.

My Widal test report shows the following: S. Typhi O Antigen: 1:160, S. Typhi H Antigen: 1:80, S. Paratyphi AH Antigen: 1:40, S. Paratyphi BH Antigen: 1:40. Does this indicate typhoid?

These titres may suggest typhoid exposure, especially if symptoms persist (fever, fatigue). Confirm diagnosis with blood culture if possible. Antibiotic treatment may be needed.
