Titers of 1:80 are borderline. If no symptoms, this could be past exposure. Monitor for fever, weakness, or consult doctor for antibiotics.

My brother was diagnosed with typhoid two days ago, but we only got to know today after his blood report confirmed it. We have been in close contact with him. What are the chances that we might also get typhoid? If there is a risk, is there any precautionary medicine we can take to avoid falling ill?
