Brief Answer:
Findings suggest positive widal test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Your report suggests positive widal test.It indicates typhoid fever.Its titration for positive results varies with laboratory.
A single Widal test is of little clinical relevance due to the number of cross reacting infections.However,four fold increase in serial titration is confirmatory.
You should regularly take antibiotics for typhoid fever.You are rightly advised to take plenty of water.
Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.
