A Widal test showing S. typhi O at 1:120 and H at 1:60 is borderline and not confirmatory for typhoid, as values below 1:160 are often non specific and can be due to past infection or vaccination. If you have fever, headache, and weakness, your doctor may consider typhoid clinically. A Typhidot IgM or blood culture is more accurate for confirmation.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a Typhidot Test Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

View allLast month I got sick with a mild sore throat followed by high fever. I started taking antibiotics for the sore throat, but the fever and body pain continued. After a week, my doctor did a Widal test, which was positive, and prescribed Cyproxin for 2 weeks, suspecting typhoid. I felt better during treatment, but only for one week after stopping the antibiotics, and now I am sick again with low body temperature (36.2C) and fatigue. Other tests including CBC, thyroid, kidney, malaria, and liver function are normal. What could be causing my recurring illness, and what should I do?
