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

Widal test report shows S. Typhi O 1:40 positive, S. Typhi H 1:160 positive, S. Para Typhi AH negative, and S. Para Typhi BH negative. Is this typhoid high, medium, or low? What are the common medicines for this?

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?
