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

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are: AH: 1:80 BH: 1:80 TH: 1:160 TO: 1:320 Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?

Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?

Three days ago, I developed fever and body pain. After one day, my health condition worsened, and I am feeling very weak. My Widal test report shows: TYPHY O +1:160, TYPHY H +1:80, TYPHY AH +1:40, TYPHY BH 1:20.
