Widal titre of O 1:160 suggests possible recent typhoid. Confirm with Typhidot IgM or Blood Culture. Widal can give false positives. If fever persists, repeat CRP and ESR.

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Typhoid Test Test

Last 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?

My blood report says Salmonella typhi O 1:80 dilution positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 dilution positive. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a fever for a few days, and my recent test results indicate typhoid fever at a late stage, but I have not started any treatment yet. My Widal test results are as follows, S.T.O is 1:320, S.T.H is 1:160, S.T.AH is 1:160, S.T.BH is 1:80. Please advise on the next steps for treatment.
