My Widal test report shows S Typhi O 1:80, S Typhi H 1:80, S Paratyphi AH 1:20, and S Paratyphi BH 1:20. Am I infected with typhoid fever? If yes, what immediate precautions should be taken? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Titers at 1:80 suggest borderline response, not diagnostic unless rising in serial tests. Please take a Typhidot IgM/IgG or Blood Culture to confirm typhoid.

Take a Typhoid Test Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I have just received my Widal report and I have a query regarding how to interpret it. Can you help me understand whether it indicates typhoid or not?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been feeling tired and having headaches all day, along with fever. My blood report shows S. Typhi (O) titer as 1:160.

I have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.
