Hi, I got my father report done for fever, but I am not sure how to interpret it regarding typhoid. The Widal test (tube method) results are TO is 1:60 TH is less than 1:30 AH is 1:120 BH is less than 1:30 Could you please help me understand whether these results indicate typhoid or not?

TO 1:60 and AH 1:120 suggest past or mild infection but not conclusive for typhoid. Clinical symptoms and blood culture are more reliable.

My Widal test report shows: S. Typhi O: 1:160 (positive) S. Typhi H: 1:80 (positive) I took medication for typhoid, but I still experienced headache, nausea, and giddiness. I consulted another doctor, who said the Widal report may not be reliable and it could just be a viral fever. Could you please clarify whether this report indicates typhoid or not?

My son Widal blood test indicates that Salmonella Typhi (H) value is 1:40 dilution and is declared positive by the lab. I have learned that if it is more than 1:60, it means he is infected. Is this correct? He does not have any other problems except high fever of 103 and headache, but the fever repeats at four hour intervals.
