These titres may suggest typhoid exposure, especially if symptoms persist (fever, fatigue). Confirm diagnosis with blood culture if possible. Antibiotic treatment may be needed.

My Widal test report shows: O is 1:80 H is 1:80 AH is 1:40 BH is Negative I have had a mild fever for one week along with weakness. Do these results indicate that I have typhoid?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are: AH: 1:80 BH: 1:80 TH: 1:160 TO: 1:320 Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?
