A titre of 1:80 suggests borderline result, which may occur in past exposure or early typhoid. If symptoms persist, consider repeating the test. Do the required Widal test or blood culture.

My Widal test report shows TO 1:320 positive, TH 1:320 positive, AH 1:160 positive, and BH negative. Other findings include serum triglycerides 267.2 mg/dL, serum uric acid 5.5 mg/dL, pus cells 4 to 6/H.P.F, RBCs 2 to 4/H.P.F, and hemoglobin 10.7. I also have xanthomas on my eyes and body. What should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please confirm whether I have typhoid based on my Widal test results, O antigen is 1:160 and H antigen is 1:160. I have heard that values above 1:160 may suggest typhoid. I have been having chills, high fever up to 102.6F, cold, cough, and body aches. After taking Paracetamol, Aceclofenac and Cefigard 200, my symptoms have subsided. Should I continue with the same prescription? Also, my CBP is normal, and the urine report shows pus cells of 5 to 6 HPF and epithelial cells is 2 to 4 HPF.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

In my Widal test report, the O antigen reacted at 1:320, and the H antigen reacted at 1:320. The AH antigen and BH antigen were non reactive.
