With S. Typhi O 1:320 And S. Typhi H 1;160 What Is The Treatment?
Hello Mamuna! I would recommend switching to another antibiotic, probably doxycycline combined with Ceftriaxone. Regarding the psychosis, an anti-psychotic like olanzapine could be helpful! A new brain MRI is also necessary. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
