Suggest Treatment For Typhoid

Hi Doctor.. I my 33years old and recently I got fever on 19-Aug-14 so i went to clinic which is near to my home, after treating for two days till fever is not coming down. So i had blood test for typhoid and following are the results. Doctor looking at report said i got typhoid and need to go course of antibiotics for few days. I realized this doctor trying to deceive me so approached other doctor with the report and i was confirmed that i do not have typhoid and even i am feeling good just after two days of fever. Test results salmonella Typhi O 1:160 salmonella Typhi H 1:160 salmonella Para Typhi AH Less than 1:80 salmonella Para Typhi BH Less than 1:80 So does it mean i have Typhoid? what is the normal range for each of this?

llo,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should test yourself for typhidot test.

It is more specific test than widal test.

As you had taken short course of antibiotic chances of Negative widal test increases.

I suggest you to do stool and blood culture for salmonella typhi followed by sensitivity testing.

Once you complete your treatment according to the sensitivity report in compketed course you will be treated completely


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
