Hello Doctor , my widal test is positive . S.Typhi O is 1:320 S.Typhi H is 1:320 And my Typhidot test is negative . I had fever for more than 24 hours continuous and I took some tabs Panadol extra , Amoxiclav ( antibiotic ) . I don t have fever for the last 16 hours. No pain in body /bones No rash No vomit No diarrhea No constipation No headache Plz suggest me if the widal test is the clear and final decision that I have a typhoid or no ? Thank u
Hello, Thak you for trusting HCM A single Widal test cannot confirm Typhoid. Your titers are high. So repeat widal test needs to be done to assess the increase in the titer value. Increase titers in subsequent testing will confirm the diagnosis. Blood cultures can also confirm Typhoid.
