Widal titre of O 1:160 suggests possible recent typhoid. Confirm with Typhidot IgM or Blood Culture. Widal can give false positives. If fever persists, repeat CRP and ESR.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Typhoid Test Test

My Widal test report says O positive and H negative. Can you say whether my result is serious or not? My age is 17 and I am male.
