Widal O:160 suggests typhoid, pus cells indicate UTI. You may have concurrent enteric fever and urinary infection. Need antibiotics targeting both. Consider doing CBC, Blood culture, Urine culture test.

My father has been experiencing fever for the last 3 days. His Widal test report shows S. Paratyphi O antigen at 1:80 and S. Paratyphi H antigen at 1:80. I would like to know if these results are normal or if they clearly indicate typhoid. Please clarify if we need to be concerned.
