Have you been to the hospital of recent complaining of fever, headache with or without vomiting? Was loss of appetite and malaise included in your list of symptoms? Did you do a Widal's reaction test? Chances are that your titre would have been high to warrant a "diagnosis" of typhoid fever. It would seem that all illnesses are typhoid fever at the rate at which it is being diagnosed. I should know because I have seen so many cases of "typhoid" that were eventually diagnosed as acute appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, diabetic ketoacidosis etc. Who is to blame for this? While admitting that typhoid is real, I make bold to say it is overdiagnosed! Whose fault? How many times have you done the test in the last twelve months? How many times did your result come out negative? See what I mean?
