Hi.dear
You have widal test positive but titre is very low. It does not suggest any acute infection with salmonella. Your wbc count is at high normal range. It suggest that you have some bacterial infection. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. You should take a course of antibiotics. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.

Hematologist Dr. Hardik Sanghvi's  Response
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your widal positive may be due to some anamnestic reaction or vaccination. You may have upper respiratory tract infection. In thyphoid, wbc count is generally low.
You should go for repeat widal test. If titre is increasing then you may have thyphoid. Otherwise you should take treatment for your respiratory tract infection only.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
