Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What does the widal test result indicate? Hello,Recently i have done widal test, following are the test results. please suggest is this a positive typhoid fever results and do i need to start medications. STYPHI H. 1:40 and STYPHI O 1:40 and STYPHI AH NIL and STYPHI BH NIL.
widal test is negative. But in few cases treatment is started on clinical suspicion alone. A lot of times it is difficult to confirm entering fever with investigations. prevalence of the disease in a given locality also matters in deciding treatment. please discuss your symptoms and investigations with a clinician for an apt management.
