Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

Widal test is done for typhoid fever. A single Widal test showing H and/or O titers more than or equal to 1:160 and typhoid-like symptoms is suggestive of typhoid fever. Do you have fever?? If yes, then you are suffering from typhoid fever because your “H" antigen agglutination titer is 1:160. Confirmation of typhoid fever is done by blood culture because false positive Widal test also occurs in non-enteric salmonella infection such as Typhus, immunological disorders, chronic liver disease and cryptococcal meningitis. Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by salmonella typhi. It is very resistant kind of fever. Advice 1. Hospitalization 2. Complete bed rest 3. Ceftriaxone 1 grams twice daily intravenously for 14 days 4. Paracetamol 500 mg if fever occurs 5. Drink plenty 4 – 5 liters of uncontaminated water daily 6. Investigations –blood culture for salmonella typhi, CBC, Hb% Thanks
