Widal titres suggest past or recent infection. ESR high indicates inflammation. Alone not diagnostic unless symptoms present. Consider repeat if fever persists.

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?
