Question 1

My Widal test report shows O antigen positive up to 1:160, H antigen positive up to 1:40, AH antigen positive up to 1:40, and BH antigen positive up to 1:40. Please explain what this means and advise what I should do?

Question 2

My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report:
S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive)
S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive)
S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative)
S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative)
Other Tests:
Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative
Dengue IgG: Negative
Dengue IgM: Negative
Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative
Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

Question 3

Hi, I got my father report done for fever, but I am not sure how to interpret it regarding typhoid. The Widal test (tube method) results are
TO is 1:60
TH is less than 1:30
AH is 1:120
BH is less than 1:30
Could you please help me understand whether these results indicate typhoid or not?

My Widal test report shows, Typhi O antigen 1:80, Typhi H antigen 1:160, Para Typhi A (H) 1:40, and Para Typhi B (H) no agglutination seen. The test result is positive. Please explain what this means.

This suggests mild or past exposure to typhoid. 1:160 (H) is borderline positive. Diagnosis must be clinical and lab based.
