I have had a fever for the past 10 days. My Widal test report shows 1:20 L negative. Does this mean it is typhoid or not, doctor?

A Widal titre of 1:20 is too low to confirm typhoid. The fever may be due to a viral illness or another infection. Its best to consult your doctor for additional testing and diagnosis if the fever continues.

I am a 47 year old female and have been suffering from mild fever for the last 15 days. The fever is around 99.0 to 99.3, gets normal in the morning, and returns during the day. I have done all tests, and there is no urine infection or any problem in the blood tests. What could be the reason for this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

The patient has been suffering from fever for 6 days, along with body aches, especially in the legs, weakness, chills, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Dengue NS1 and Dengue IgM/IgG tests are non reactive. The latest CBC and dengue test reports are attached. Urine analysis shows pus cells 10 to 12/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Previous test results were: TLC 8,000/cumm, neutrophils 85 percent, lymphocytes 8 percent, and ESR 26 mm/hr.
