What Does My Widal Test Report Indicate?

My daughter is aged 9. This is her widal test TO 1:80, TH 1:80, AH 1:80, BH 1:80 Either of both Somatic (O) 1:80 & Flageller (H) 1:160 is significant for diagnosing typhoid fever, with 88% sensititvity and 98% specificity (Saha et al. Annals Trop. Pead. 1996). However, the result should be integrated with clinical findings. My question is what does it mean? Does she have typhoid or symptoms or she she ok? Thanks

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Widal test TO 1:80 has a clinical significance.
Sometime in first week of the typhoid fever titer may remain upto 1:80.
If your child have fever, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain then consult the primary care physician for proper treatment.
Doctor will give following advises:
Tablet ciprofloxacin, tablet paracetamol, tablet A to Z
Bed rest, give light diet and lots of water to drink.
Avoid outside food and water
Repeat test should advisable to check the progress and response to treatment.
Hope this may help you
