Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
Typhoid is mostly misdiagnosed in our country based on Widal test.
If you have evening rise of fever and weight loss, i would advise you following:
1. Xray Chest
2. Hemogram with ESR
3. Repeat the widal test, if titres are rising its significant, else not
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask.
Stay Healthy
