General & Family Physician 's  Response
widal test is negative.
But in few cases treatment is started on clinical suspicion alone.
A lot of times it is difficult to confirm entering fever with investigations.
prevalence of the disease in a given locality also matters in deciding treatment.
please discuss your symptoms and investigations with a clinician for an apt management.
