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.

I have been having a fever for the past 5 days. I got my blood tests done, including Tiofad and BE. Should I also get a COVID test? Can I start treatment with Tiofad now?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having fever and a little weakness for the past 5 days. I was prescribed medicines for the same. I did a blood checkup today. Urine and hematology reports reveal normal results. But results of WIDAL SLIDE mention S. Typhi 'O' as positive (1:80). Do I have typhoid? I am travelling out of the country in 3 days and need inputs asap.
