Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have negative widal test.You are not suffering from typhoid fever.
Salmonella O or H antigen titer values equal or greater than 1: 160 is considered as positive.
However four fold increase in titration is confirmatory.
Fever may be due to other reasons.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
