Titers at 1:80 suggest borderline response, not diagnostic unless rising in serial tests. Please take a Typhidot IgM/IgG or Blood Culture to confirm typhoid.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a TYPHIDOT IgG AND IgM Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

My Widal test report says O positive and H negative. Can you say whether my result is serious or not? My age is 17 and I am male.

I had a fever last week (not continuous) along with a slight, constant headache for 3 to 4 days. After the fever broke, I did a blood test at a private clinic the next day. The Widal test report showed 1/160 Typhi O positive. The doctor prescribed Rabasec D SR, Cefixime, and Ofloxacin for 10 days, saying it was a slight case of typhoid. Is this treatment appropriate?
