Question

Is a blood culture test useful for typhoid to identify the specific bacteria and the exact medicine needed for treatment? It has been 4 months and my reports are still showing positive for typhoid.

Persistent typhoid can occur if the infection is not fully cleared. A blood culture will help detect the exact bacteria and guide targeted treatment. Consult your doctor to avoid complications and choose the right antibiotic.
