[|Human|] Hi... I just have received my widal test report. Test impression is positive. S.Typhi H and S. Typhi O-titre seen upto 1:120 each, S.Typhi AH and BH no agglutination. My doctor says this test results positive even if you had any infection in past 1 month or so. She has given me 5 days treatment and asked me to follow diet. Billirubin direct is 0.4. What precautions should I take?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Widal test is not a confirmatory test for the diagnosis of typhoid fever, if there is a rising titre of O and H antigen you can suspect of typhoid fever. The typhoid fever is nothing but an infection of the GIT which can spread to the liver and affects the normal function of liver. As there is a increased titre of O antigen it can be an infection with typhoid bacilli. As your doctor as advised oral antibiotics, it will clear off the bacilli from the body and relieve the symptoms. The liver function test is normal, which is evident by the lab report. I would suggest you to follow1. Avoid fatty rich diet2. Avoid unnecessary intake of medications3. Consume bland diet for 10 days.4. Take the prescribed medicine properly5. Chat Doctor. Thank you.
