These titres are borderline and may not confirm active typhoid. Clinical symptoms and repeat testing are needed. If no fever or other signs, infection is unlikely. Consult your doctor for clarity.

Hi doctor, I received my Widal test report which shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. The report result is marked as positive. What types of medicine should I take, and what precautions should I follow?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I have a blood test report including dengue, malaria, and typhoid. When I consulted my doctor, he said it was positive for typhoid. Can anyone confirm the type of fever, please? Is it typhoid fever or a normal fever? Please do not ask me to consult a doctor. Please check the attached reports. Thanks in advance.
