Brief Answer:
Suggestive of UTI and Typhoid fever
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Your reports are suggestive of a possibility of typhoid infection. In fact, the widal test of typhoid fever is suggestive of typhoid fever only, if the titres are rising in the next sample.
Since your reports have positive Typhi Dot as well as Widal, i would recommend you a repeat:
1. Complete blood count
2. Widal test
3. Urine examination.
If your widal test has rising titres as compared to the previous report, then you would require treatment of typhoid fever.
In case, there are pus cells in urine test too, then you would need to give Urine culture along.
If your widal test levels are still the same or are reducing, it means you don't have any typhoid fever.
Please get these tests done and write back to me with the reports.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
