Dafresh:You didn't state your symptoms, so we can't help you, unfortunately. However, this result doesn't tell any story to a physician. Widal test of 1/80 titer won't bother you, besides that test (Widal) is quite redundant these days because of cross reactions of the reagent with other antigens. If a doctor suspects you of having typhoid, he either commences therapeutic trial or send you for stool or urine salmonella culture. The only labs that still run that test is the roadside labs cos they know the average Nigerian would always patronize them for it, meanwhile the test is as useful as money is to a dead man. |

Dafresh:Nope |

Oladimeji13:No, it doesn't. If he has cough and catarrh only, its probably an URTI. Antibiotics like cefuroxime or amoxyclav would suffice |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by jaephoenix(m): 6:52pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
Mammangaddafi:Exactly what I was saying. A very useless tests but the roadside labs continue to run it cos Nigerians always request for it. So they exploit their ignorance. Hospital labs don't run it |

DrAda:I doubt if that doc ordered for it. Dude probably went to a roadside and told them his symptoms and they ran those tests for him. Or he requested for them himself 1 Like |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by jaephoenix(m): 6:56pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
DrAda:Nah. Its not blood culture which isn't specific enough. You request for Salmonella culture of urine or stool |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by jaephoenix(m): 7:03pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
drimzsmoke:Yup. Stool or urine(if the lab is choosy) Blood culture media isn't specific for salmonella typhi or paratyphi |

jaephoenix: Still blood culture for me |

jaephoenix:I'm only have cough, some times if cough hard I will be sweating seriously when I'm coughing I will feel Iike vomiting but last night I vomited. I blew my nose alot so my nose ridge will be paining me |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by jaephoenix(m): 8:32pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
medikend:Even serial Widal isn't feasible. You cant be watching a patient having symptoms and waiting for a serial Widal to make a diagnosis. Better do a therapeutic trial if you can't do the salmonella culture |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by jaephoenix(m): 8:35pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
DrAda:Lol. Do you think McConkey or cooked meat media can culture Salmonella? They won't! You'll just waste your time and your patient's money. The best bet is culture with agar etc which picks up Salmonella |

Dafresh:That's is the common cold you have. There's been a nasty cold going round these days. It's not malaria and typhoid. |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by Dafresh: 10:59pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
DrFunmisticGlow:you're right sir |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by DrDunamis(m): 11:35pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
Dafresh: It's stated there that no malaria parasite seen bit the question is why did you leave the hospital to run test in a private facility? |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by DrDunamis(m): 11:35pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
Dafresh: What are the symptoms you're experiencing? |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by Dafresh: 11:57pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
DrDunamis:the doctor said I should do the test but I wanted the result quick so I hurriedly go to private laboratory |
Re: I Went To See A Doctor Today Because Of My Illness And This Happened by Dafresh: 11:58pm On Aug 22, 2023 |

[img][/img] jaephoenix: I sincerely don't understand your fixation with this. Have you worked in a hospital before or are you just quoting off some textbook? My job as a specialist is to fill out a form for blood culture, and note that i am trying to rule out Typhoid fever in my patient. A smart and resourceful medical microbiologist can figure out the rest. Similarly if I suspect avascular necrosis of the left femoral neck secondary to some disease, my job is to request for an xray and trust that the radiologist will know what to do. It is really that simple. |
