1:160 may indicate recent or past exposure but not conclusive for typhoid. With symptoms, antibiotics may be justified. If symptoms persist or worsen, stool and blood cultures are more reliable.

Widal test report shows S. Typhi O 1:40 positive, S. Typhi H 1:160 positive, S. Para Typhi AH negative, and S. Para Typhi BH negative. Is this typhoid high, medium, or low? What are the common medicines for this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a fever last week (not continuous) along with a slight, constant headache for 3 to 4 days. After the fever broke, I did a blood test at a private clinic the next day. The Widal test report showed 1/160 Typhi O positive. The doctor prescribed Rabasec D SR, Cefixime, and Ofloxacin for 10 days, saying it was a slight case of typhoid. Is this treatment appropriate?

Hi, my 7 year old niece is suffering from typhoid with a high fever of 103 to 104 degree. Today her blood report shows a hemoglobin count of 5.9. The pediatrician has given sodium drips and injections to lower the fever, but it is still 101 degree a few hours ago. I am very concerned about the low hemoglobin count. Please suggest immediate action?
