My Widal test report is S typhi O (+1/40, +1/80), S typhi H (+1/40). Rest all are negative. Is any symptom of typhoid?

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

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?

My mother blood report shows S. Typhi antigen O 1:160 and S. Typhi antigen H 1:160. The doctor has prescribed Opox CV 200 for 15 days. She has become very weak. Should we admit her to the hospital or wait for the Opox CV to work? Should the medicine be changed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal test report shows: S. Typhi O: 1:160 (positive) S. Typhi H: 1:80 (positive) I took medication for typhoid, but I still experienced headache, nausea, and giddiness. I consulted another doctor, who said the Widal report may not be reliable and it could just be a viral fever. Could you please clarify whether this report indicates typhoid or not?
