O agglutinin reactive and H negative is non specific. This does not confirm typhoid, a typhoid diagnosis should be based on symptoms and blood culture.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a Typhoid Test Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I had a fever for a few days, and my recent test results indicate typhoid fever at a late stage, but I have not started any treatment yet. My Widal test results are as follows, S.T.O is 1:320, S.T.H is 1:160, S.T.AH is 1:160, S.T.BH is 1:80. Please advise on the next steps for treatment.
