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