What Does My Widal Test Report Indicate?
Question: Hi, My age is 30. I have got my widal test report: Salmonella Typhi (O) 1:80 positive, Salmonella Typhi (H) 1:40 positive, Salmonella Paratyphi (AH) 1:20 negative, Salmonella Paratyphi (BH) 1:20 negative. Could you please what does report say? Any serious illness?
Brief Answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your salmonella thyphi titre for O antigen is higher. Your titre for parathyroid is normal. So you may have thyphoid. However vaccination or past infection or anamnestic reaction may lead to this. So rising titre is more diagnostic. You should go for repeat widal tube titre test. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
