Suggestive of typhoid if symptoms like evening fever, fatigue continue. Post-treatment ESR 18 is mildly elevated. If symptoms persist, retesting advised.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test

Question

Hi. In my Widal test report, S. typhi O is 1:320 and S. typhi H is 1:80. I started having fever on 6th November. After one week, I vomited three times a day and had loose motions, so I took two drips a day and medicines to stop the loose motions and vomiting. My blood pressure also went down to 80 by 60. Since 13th November until now, I have had loose motions and slight fever. I also experience stomach pain and bloating. I feel tired almost all day long. Is it typhoid or something else?

Question

My son, who is 5 years and 4 months old, has his Widal test results as follows, Salmonella typhi O 1:160 positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 positive, Salmonella typhi AH 1:80 positive, and Salmonella typhi BH 1:40 negative. Does this mean he has typhoid? What treatment should be followed?

Question

Please find the attached blood report and confirm if I have typhoid or not. I am worried about this.
