Without seeing the actual report, cannot confirm. A Widal test or blood culture is needed for typhoid diagnosis. If typhi O/H titres are greater than or equal to 1:160, it may indicate typhoid.

Take a Widal Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Question

My widal test report of typhoid is typhi O 1:40 and typhi H 1:160. What does this mean?

I recently had a Widal test, and the results are: O: 1:80 H: 1:40 AH: 1:20 BH: 1:20 I currently have no fever, but my local doctor says the test is positive. Could you please advise what I should do next?

Question

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?
