Titre of 1:40 is a weak positive. Could be early or past infection. If symptomatic, treatment may be started. Blood culture gives a clearer diagnosis.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test

Hi, I have a blood test report including dengue, malaria, and typhoid. When I consulted my doctor, he said it was positive for typhoid. Can anyone confirm the type of fever, please? Is it typhoid fever or a normal fever? Please do not ask me to consult a doctor. Please check the attached reports. Thanks in advance.

My brother was diagnosed with typhoid two days ago, but we only got to know today after his blood report confirmed it. We have been in close contact with him. What are the chances that we might also get typhoid? If there is a risk, is there any precautionary medicine we can take to avoid falling ill?

Sir, I am a 28 year old male. Fifteen days ago, I had a fever, and the doctor ordered a blood test. Typhoid was positive, and my direct bilirubin level was elevated, while total bilirubin was normal. For the past three days, I have had slight stomach upset and nausea. Please help me. What should I do? I have attached my bilirubin test report.
