Suggests possible recent typhoid infection. 1:160 can indicate early infection. Consult doctor for antibiotics if symptoms persist.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My daughter has had typhoid twice. Her first Widal test showed O: 160, H: 80, and the second test showed O: 160, H: 160. The most recent test shows O: 80. Could you please advise if there are any complications for my child and suggest what steps or precautions we should take next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please find the attached blood report and confirm if I have typhoid or not. I am worried about this.
