Doctor, my Widal blood test report shows TO 1:160, TH 1:80, while AH and BH are negative. I want to confirm whether I have typhoid fever or not.

A TO value of 1:160 may suggest exposure, but it is not a confirmation of typhoid. Since AH and BH are negative, it is unlikely to be active typhoid. If symptoms persist (fever, abdominal pain), get further tests.

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

Paratyphi BH is less than 1:20 (negative) I am taking antibiotics four times a day and following a light diet. I currently have no fever. How long will it take for me to recover completely?
