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

I am suffering from fever for the last few days. I got my Widal test report which shows TO 1:160, TH 1:160, and AH and BH are negative.

Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?
