Question 1

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.

Question 2

Last month I got sick with a mild sore throat followed by high fever. I started taking antibiotics for the sore throat, but the fever and body pain continued. After a week, my doctor did a Widal test, which was positive, and prescribed Cyproxin for 2 weeks, suspecting typhoid. I felt better during treatment, but only for one week after stopping the antibiotics, and now I am sick again with low body temperature (36.2C) and fatigue. Other tests including CBC, thyroid, kidney, malaria, and liver function are normal. What could be causing my recurring illness, and what should I do?

Question 3

My Widal test report shows S Typhi O 1:80, S Typhi H 1:80, S Paratyphi AH 1:20, and S Paratyphi BH 1:20. Am I infected with typhoid fever? If yes, what immediate precautions should be taken? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

My Widal test report shows S Typhi O all positive till 1/320, S Typhi H all positive till 1/160, S Para Typhi A all positive till 1/40, and S Para Typhi B all positive till 1/40.

This suggests significant typhoidal exposure, likely acute typhoid. Confirm with blood culture & Typhoid IgM values if fever persists. Antibiotics may be started.
