A Widal titer of 1:160 may suggest typhoid, but if symptoms are resolved, no active infection remains. Continue antibiotics as advised and complete the full course. If symptoms persist, get CBC done.

This is my Widal test report. S. typhi (O) is 1:40. S. typhi (H) is 1:40. S. paratyphi (AH) shows no agglutination. S. paratyphi (BH) shows no agglutination. Remark: Negative Widal test. Is this normal?

I have attached my Widal test report. The test was done on the sixth day of the fever, which was around 103 degrees F. Please tell me whether it is typhoid or not, as I have received two different opinions from two doctors. I am very confused.

Widal test report: Salmonella Typhi O 1:80, Salmonella Typhi H 1:80, Salmonella Paratyphi AH 1:20, Salmonella Paratyphi BH 1:20. These are my kids Widal test reports. My son is 9 years old and my daughter is 8 years old. Is this a typhoid attack?
