Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You are not suffering from typhoid fever.There will not be any problem in future related to this.
Widal test (test for typhoid)is negative.Single antibody value of salmonella O or H, > or equal to 1: 160 is considered as positive.However four fold increase in follow up titration is confirmatory for typhoid fever.
Your symptoms may be due to some other reasons.It should be investigated.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
