A TO titer of 1:160 may indicate current infection, especially with fever. Start antibiotics only after consulting a doctor. Do the required blood culture if fever persists. Stay hydrated

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

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.
