Hello

Your wife reports suggests positive widal test.It indicates typhoid fever.Titration value of anti O or H > or equal to 1: 160 indicate typhoid infection.
A single Widal test is of little clinical relevance due to the number of cross reacting infections.However,four fold increase in serial titration is confirmatory.

She need to take antibiotics regularly for 5- 7 days.Expected days of recovery is within 7-10 days.
I prescribe tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for seven days to my patients.

Increased lymphocyte count may be due to viral or typhoid infection.

Take Care
