Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Patient can suffer from both simultaneously.
But usually in such condition, patient would be very sick.
However, in developing countries, many a times reports are not reliable and also Widal test for Typhoid is of no significance.
I would suggest you to give me his detailed history and attach the reports.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please.
Stay Healthy.
