very useless test

The private labs and hospitals still request/carry out the test as to make money since Nigerians don't want to listen

Blood culture
Hi Dr, what of a full blood count?
I once did a FbC and they said my white blood cell is low, but I had the symptoms of malaria fever that was persistent.
Can an FBC tell about typhoid infection?

I dont really understand d result, but one thing i know, is either u have malaria or u don't 🤔

In normal countries, widal test is no longer used to diagnose typhoid fever. Blood, urine and stool cultures are preferred depending on the timing.

However, in developing countries like ours, a single widal test is of no use. Serial widal test ( more than 1) are done and compared to see the trend of the titre, suggesting typhoid infection.

Finally, it should be stated that other factors may affect the titre level aside salmonella.

Here is the test result

Hello OP,

I uploaded your results for Bing AI chatbot to analyse. The results are below for you to read and decide whether to follow the suggested advice:

The Widal test is a blood test that detects antibodies against the bacteria that cause typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever. The test results show the titers of the antibodies against the O and H antigens of four types of Salmonella bacteria: Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B, Paratyphi C, and Typhi D.

The interpretation of the results depends on the baseline titers of the antibodies in the population, which may vary by region and exposure. Generally, a titer of 1:80 or higher is considered significant and indicative of a recent or current infection. However, some people may have higher titers due to previous vaccination or exposure, and some people may have lower titers despite being infected. Therefore, the Widal test is not very specific or sensitive, and it should be confirmed by other tests such as blood culture or stool culture.

Based on the uploaded document, the results of the Widal test are as follows:
|------------------------| O | H |
| Sal. Paratyphi A | 1:40 | 1:40 |
| Sal. Paratyphi B | 1:20 | 1:20 |
| Sal. Paratyphi C | 1:20 | 1:20 |
| Sal. Typhi D | 1:80 | 1:80 |

The results show that the titers of the antibodies against all four types of Salmonella bacteria are below or equal to 1:80, which means that there is no evidence of a recent or current infection by these bacteria. However, this does not rule out the possibility of a false negative result, especially if the test was done too early or too late in the course of the illness. Therefore, it is advisable to repeat the test after a few days or consult a doctor for further diagnosis and treatment.

The treatment of typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, or ceftriaxone. However, some strains of Salmonella bacteria may be resistant to these antibiotics, so it is important to choose the appropriate antibiotic based on the sensitivity test or the local resistance patterns. The treatment may last for 10 to 14 days, depending on the severity of the illness and the response to the antibiotic. In addition to antibiotics, supportive care such as hydration, nutrition, and pain relief may be needed.

I hope this helps you understand your Widal test results and possible treatment options. Please note that I am not a medical professional and this is not medical advice. You should always consult your doctor before taking any medication or making any health-related decisions.

Sorry to say , but dropping only your test result is just asking someone to treat your test result. Why not give a little history of your symptoms so they can be interpreted with your results. No qualified doctor would really be able to offer much without your present complains and history of symtoms .
