Should I Be Concerned For Having S. Para Typhi B-H?

Hi, I'm 40.
I just had the result from my blood check.
In the S. paratyphi types, all "Negative", except for the S. paratyphi B-H, shown Positive 1/160.
I would like to ask if I should be worry about the result, and any action that I should do?
Thank you,
Eric

Hello
S.paratyphi1;160 means you are tested positive for Salmonella infection that causes typhoid fever.
Typhoid fever is an intestinal water born disease and caused by salomonella bacteria .
There are 4 type of strain, so one of them is positive in your case.
When such patient visit I prescribe CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg orally two times in day for 14 days .
Those ,who don't like oral drugs is Injection ceftrizone 1 gm twice in day for 10 days ( INTRAVENOUS ).
Nothing to worry , this is not a serious disease .
Usually responded very well to treatment.
This is a prescription medicine , so consult your physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
