Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Hi, I recently received my Widal test report and other blood counts. The results are:
S. Typhi O: 1:160
S. Typhi H: 1:80
S. Paratyphi AH: 1:20
S. Paratyphi BH: 1:20
Total WBC Count: 12,200 cells/cu.mm
Platelet Count: 2.71 lakhs/cu.mm
Could you please help me interpret these results? Do they indicate typhoid infection or something else?

My Widal test report shows the following: Salmonella typhi O: 1:80 Salmonella typhi H: 1:80 Salmonella paratyphi AH: 1:20 Salmonella paratyphi BH: 1:20 Impression: Positive Please advise what this result indicates and the next steps for treatment.

Titres of 1:80 may indicate past infection or early typhoid. Clinical correlation needed.
