Question 1

I've been recovering from typhoid that was diagnosed back on January 16, 2018. I don't have a fever anymore, just a bit of weakness and some leg pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to start working again. Also, is there a chance I'm still contagious? And since my typhoid relapsed after two years, is there any treatment available that could prevent this from happening again?

Accepted Answer

It spreads through contaminated water ,food ,
Avoid outside food,water

Question 2

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent Widal test. The report shows Salmonella typhi O at 1:160 dilutions and Salmonella typhi H at 1:140 dilutions, plus Salmonella paratyphi AH and BH both at 1:120 dilutions. The impression says it's positive, so does that mean I have a typhoid infection? Could you explain what these numbers indicate? Also, Id really appreciate some advice on what kind of diet I should be following right now.

High Creatinine Levels in Blood

_Creatinine Level 9: Indicates Severe Kidney Dysfunction_

_Proper Treatment_:

1. _Dialysis_: Recommended to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
2. _Medications_: To manage underlying conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or kidney disease.
3. _Lifestyle Changes_: Dietary modifications, fluid restriction, and avoiding nephrotoxic substances.

_Dialysis Options_:

1. _Hemodialysis (HD)_:
    - Suitable for acute kidney injury or temporary kidney failure.
    - Typically performed in a hospital or dialysis center.
2. _Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)_:
    - Suitable for patients with some residual kidney function.
    - Can be performed at home.
3. _Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)_:
    - Suitable for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.

_Temporary or Permanent Dialysis_:

1. _Temporary Dialysis_: If your brother's kidney function is expected to recover, temporary dialysis (HD or PD) may be suitable.
2. _Permanent Dialysis_: If your brother's kidney function is irreversibly damaged, permanent dialysis (HD or PD) or kidney transplantation may be necessary.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex with a sex worker 7 and 8 months ago and I just had the fourth-generation p24 antigen test done at Lalpath Lab. It came back non-reactive with index values of .09 and .25. Is this result conclusive, or do you think I need to take another test? I'm not sure what to do next.
