Question 1

My Widal test report shows TO 1:320 positive, TH 1:320 positive, AH 1:160 positive, and BH negative. Other findings include serum triglycerides 267.2 mg/dL, serum uric acid 5.5 mg/dL, pus cells 4 to 6/H.P.F, RBCs 2 to 4/H.P.F, and hemoglobin 10.7. I also have xanthomas on my eyes and body. What should I do next?

Question 2

I have a Widal test report. TO is 1:160 positive, TH is negative, AH is negative, and BH is negative. I took Ciprobid 500 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days. The doctor asked me to stop the tablets for seven days and get the report again, saying it may become negative. Is this possible? I need to submit a negative report for my foreign employment as a hotelier. My physician said it is impossible and that TO can remain the same without any rise for a long time.

Question 3

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?

My Widal test report shows: O type: 1:160 H type: 1:80 ESR: 40 mm Could you please advise if these results indicate typhoid infection?

Widal titres suggest past or recent infection. ESR high indicates inflammation. Alone not diagnostic unless symptoms present. Consider repeat if fever persists.
