Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doc. I had my widal tests done and the report are as follows:
S Typhi O Antigen = Absent S Typhi H Antigen = 1:80 S Paratyphi A(H) Antigen = Absent S Paratyphi B(H) Antigen = Absent
Could you please advise me if I have typhoid? I jst got fever for a day (Couple of days back with shivering cold) but nothing for now. Also, the SGOT count shows as H 41.0 and SGPT count shows as H 60. what does this means. Please advise. Thanks, S.
hello dear thanks for your query at HCM as for widal test is concerned single test doesnot prove anything antibodies s typhi o more than 1 in 80 , and s typhi h more than 1 in 160 considered as typhoid positive more important than this is repeat widal test showing four fold increase in level is more diagnostic of typhoid your report does not confirm or rule out typhoid disease you may have to repeat test if needed . other enzyme levels are within normal range only reagrds
