I'm a bit concerned after getting my covid test results. When I took the test, I had a cough, and my CT value was 21. Now, I don't have any cold or cough symptoms anymore. Is this something I should be worried about? What do you think?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A CT value of 21 indicates a high viral load at the time of testing. Since you no longer have cold or cough symptoms, it is a good sign that your body has likely fought off the infection. However, it is still important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance. In the meantime, you can consider taking a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 5 days to prevent any secondary bacterial infections.

View allHey, I'm really confused about something I came across in my test results. It mentions STyphi O 180, and I'm worried whether it indicates typhoid or some other condition. I don't have much knowledge about this, so any clarity you could provide would be super helpful.
S.Typhi O 1:80 refers to a specific blood test result that indicates a possible infection with Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. A titer of 1:80 suggests a moderate level of antibodies against the bacteria in your blood. This result is commonly seen in individuals with typhoid fever. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The recommended treatment for typhoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin, taken for a specific duration under medical supervision.

I'm a bit worried and could use some advice. So, about 20 days ago, I got bitten by a dog and went through the whole rabies vaccination process with the 4 shots. Am I okay to be intimate with my wife now?
yes

What are the chances I could get rabies if I missed the 3rd shot and ended up taking it later along with the 4th? I got bitten by a stray cat on December 5, 2017. The bite wasn't too deep, but it was bleeding a bit. I washed it with soap and put on some Soframycin as soon as I got home. I had my first shot on December 6, the second on December 9, but then I missed the third one which I later took on December 20 along with the fourth shot. The fifth shot was on December 27, and I'm supposed to have my last one on January 3. Should I be worried about rabies?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Based on the information provided, your: NT (nuchal translucency) at 13 weeks was slightly elevated (3.2mm), but amniocentesis and NIPT reports showed low risk. Please share the 20-week anomaly scan report for a more accurate assessment. Generally, a 20-week scan checks for fetal anatomy and detects potential abnormalities. A healthcare professional or a fetal medicine specialist should review the report to confirm if everything appears normal.
