Titers above 1:160 suggest typhoid exposure, especially if there are symptoms. Confirm with blood culture if possible.

I got a Widal test for typhoid yesterday and my report is S. Typhi O 1:160, S. Typhi H 1:80, S. Paratyphi AH 1:20, S. Paratyphi BH 1:20. Is it positive or negative?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a Widal test report. TO is 1:160 positive, TH is negative, AH is negative, and BH is negative. I took Ciprobid 500 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days. The doctor asked me to stop the tablets for seven days and get the report again, saying it may become negative. Is this possible? I need to submit a negative report for my foreign employment as a hotelier. My physician said it is impossible and that TO can remain the same without any rise for a long time.
