Salmonella typhi O & H titres of 1:80 are borderline and may indicate past exposure or early typhoid. If there are no symptoms, treatment may not be needed. But if fever, weakness or gut symptoms are present, consult your doctor.

Take a Typhoid Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Hi, my 7 year old niece is suffering from typhoid with a high fever of 103 to 104 degree. Today her blood report shows a hemoglobin count of 5.9. The pediatrician has given sodium drips and injections to lower the fever, but it is still 101 degree a few hours ago. I am very concerned about the low hemoglobin count. Please suggest immediate action?

S. Typhi O 1:40 dilution, S. Typhi H 1:20 dilution, S. Para typhi A H less than 1:20 dilution, and S. Para typhi B H less than 1:20 dilution are the results of the lab test. Is this typhoid severe and how many days will it take to cure?
