Hello,
The Widal report shows the presence of infection with salmonella typhi or typhoid.
However, the interpretation largely depends on the prevalence of typhoid fever in your region.
Since the Widal report is positive, I suggest you get Salmonella typhi Ig M test done which is specific for typhoid fever after consulting your primary health care provider.
If the test is positive, your doctor will prescribe appropriate antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
