Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. At present, based on titres, your values are normal and you are negative for typhoid
2. However, followup one week later to check for any increase in values.
3. Additionally you can get blood culture or urine culture too.
4. Look for neutropenia in blood counts.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
