What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
I had blood test says typhic O 1:320 and typhic H 1:180. After 10 days of levofloxacin now both say 1:180. I felt a little better for a few days but never 100%, and now an feeling bad again. Very cold feet and headache, extremely tired and general bad feeling. What do you suggest? Thank you

Hi think for you question.
The reports you have put here are of Widal test,done to diagnose typhoid infection.Titer of O antigen more than 1;160 is considered as positive and indicate active infection.Where as titer of H antigen more than 1;160 indicates past infection.A four fold rise of H antigen titer that is from 1;40 to 1;160 is diagnostic.perisitent of symptoms means infection is not eradicated and you need consultation with your physion.
Hope this answers your question
