A member asked:

After how many days of antibiotic treatment, typhoid test should be conducted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What test?: Blood and stool culture should be done before starting antibiotics. Serologic tests should be done during the early illness and two weeks later for comparing the results of antibody titer. It is usually advisable to let your doctor decide the type and timing of tests.
