Suggest Medical Tests For Elevated Titre Value

Hi Doctor! My steward was affected with typhoid in the month of October. She had her treatment and is completely fine now. But when we take widel test it shows positive results even after months( Feb). The worrying factor is that the titre value has increased from what was there last month in January. But physically she has no symptoms( no fever, has a good appetite) could you pls suggest another test or suggestions on this?

Hello,

The widal test cannot be considered diagnostic for typhoid. I suggest you investigate with stool culture and IgM ELISA for typhoid to rule out typhoid. You can attach widal report to comment further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
