These titres are borderline and may not confirm active typhoid. Clinical symptoms and repeat testing are needed. If no fever or other signs, infection is unlikely. Consult your doctor for clarity.

My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report: S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive) S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive) S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative) S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative) Other Tests: Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative Dengue IgG: Negative Dengue IgM: Negative Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

My Widal test is positive and shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:320. Am I a typhoid patient? What is the treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.
