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

My mother has been having fever for the past 33 days. When she takes medication, the fever temporarily goes away, but it returns after some time. She also has diabetes and thyroid issues and is experiencing significant body pain. Her recent test report indicates typhoid fever. How can we effectively treat this, and are there any further tests we should consider?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal report shows S. Paratyphi A from 1/20 to 1/160 are all positive, S. Typhi H and O are positive at 1/20, and S. Paratyphi B is negative. All other sections are negative. Do I have typhoid disease? What should I do regarding this? Is it in a lethal or dangerous condition or is there no need to be anxious?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal test report says O positive and H negative. Can you say whether my result is serious or not? My age is 17 and I am male.
