HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.
As per the report you are NOT suffering from Typhoid ( This test doesn't check for other infections ). But again this is not a very confirmatory test and can be falsely negative if tested within 3-4 days of fever.
So kindly let me know since how long you are having fever and on what day of fever this test was done.
Regards.
No typhoid

Brief Answer:
Test result could be false negative.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for the information.
So it was on the 4th day of fever you have got the test done . There is a possibility that the test result may be false negative. But as of now it can be considered as NO TYPHOID.
I recommend you to continue taking Sumo tablets and if fever persists for 2 more days then get CBC and IgM Typhi Dot test done and revert back with reports.
