A positive Salmonella Typhi test indicates typhoid infection. This condition typically requires prompt antibiotic treatment and proper hydration. Whether it needs hospital admission or can be managed at home depends on severity, fever pattern, and blood parameters. Please consult a physician for appropriate evaluation and care.

My mother blood report shows S. Typhi antigen O 1:160 and S. Typhi antigen H 1:160. The doctor has prescribed Opox CV 200 for 15 days. She has become very weak. Should we admit her to the hospital or wait for the Opox CV to work? Should the medicine be changed?

Hi, my husband Widal test report shows Typhi O 1:20 and the rest are negative. Does this mean he has typhoid or not?
