Low titers (1:80) may be nonspecific. Symptoms plus pus cells suggest infection, possibly UTI. Vitamin deficiencies must be corrected. Typhoid needs confirmation by blood culture. See a pediatrician.

My brother, age 16, had fever, nausea, abdominal pain and headache since 5 days. Blood report shows active infection of typhoid O 1:160, H 1:40. Can you please suggest treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, how can typhoid be treated at the 2nd stage? The Widal test was done, and the titre count is 320. She has been suffering from fever, cough, and cold for the past week. Initially, we thought it might be a common viral fever and consulted a doctor, but after the symptoms persisted, we got blood tests done yesterday for Dengue, malarial parasite, and Widal for typhoid.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal test report shows O antigen positive up to 1:160, H antigen positive up to 1:40, AH antigen positive up to 1:40, and BH antigen positive up to 1:40. Please explain what this means and advise what I should do?
