My Widal test results are as follows: Method: Tube S. Typhi O: 1:120 S. Typhi H: 1:60 S. Paratyphi AH: Nil S. Paratyphi BH: Nil Does this mean I have typhoid?

A Widal test showing S. typhi O at 1:120 and H at 1:60 is borderline and not confirmatory for typhoid, as values below 1:160 are often non specific and can be due to past infection or vaccination. If you have fever, headache, and weakness, your doctor may consider typhoid clinically. A Typhidot IgM or blood culture is more accurate for confirmation.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a TYPHIDOT IgM Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

View allI have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.

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?

My blood report says Salmonella typhi O 1:80 dilution positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 dilution positive. What does this mean?
