Widal Test Report Interpretation
Positive Result:
The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:
- Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
- Salmonella Typhi H (1:40): Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.
Impression: Positive (+ve)
This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.
Dietary Recommendations:
During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:
- Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
- Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
- Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
- Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
- Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
- Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I'm a bit worried and would love your insight. My beta hCG level came back as 0.100 mIUml, and the ultrasound didn't show any signs of pregnancy. Does this mean my beta hCG test result is negative, or could there be something else going on? Just trying to get a clearer picture of what's happening.
Beta-hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. A positive pregnancy test generally shows a beta-hCG level greater than 5 mIUml. Levels below 5 mIUml are typically considered negative, meaning no pregnancy.
