I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my recent urine test showed pus cells of 20-25. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it lead to any serious issues?

Widal Test Report Interpretation

Positive Result:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

1. Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
2. 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:

1. Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
2. Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
3. Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
4. Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
5. Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
6. Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.
