Hello, widal test cant be interpreted as other investigation s . we need your history of salmonella contact. 1st of all you havnt mentioned your country. Depending on how common the disease in your country the cut-off mark for the test changes.your travel history should be mentioned to get an idea of your travelling to endemic countries.
You have to mention whether you have had the disease earlier, clinically or subclinically. Whether you have had typhoid vaccine.
All these facts are needed for interpretation. Less you have contacted with s.typhi and s.paratyphi widal test results would make more sense.

Where is your malaria test report?
Your widal test is positive & it needs to be treated properly.
These are presc iption drugs & you got to see your doctor for it.
Dear Doctor, , We are not doing research here. We are clinicians & foremost aim is to treat patients. If the patient is symptomatic & Has fever, Send Blood for culture & start antibiotics IV, & see the response. By the time the culture report is also available. That solves the problem
