Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that if you have typhoid fever than you show frank positive widal and not a borderline positive widal. I suspect a diagnosis of Pyrexia Of Unknown origin in your case. I also advice you to do other investigation like blood culture for brucella, Dengue, Malaria parasite etc. But even though you should start a treatment with lomefloxacin because of typhoid. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
