The blood test says Salmonella Typhi O and H 1:80 positive. What does it mean? Please let me know.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A Widal test showing Salmonella Typhi O and H 1:80 positive indicates exposure to typhoid bacteria but may not confirm active infection. Low titres like 1:80 can sometimes occur due to past infection or vaccination. If there are symptoms like fever, weakness, or abdominal pain, consult your doctor for evaluation. A Typhoid IgM test or blood culture is more reliable to confirm active typhoid infection if needed.
