Brief Answer:
Negative as per this test
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. No, the above test report does not indicate that you have typhoid. However, for the test to be positive (if it does) you need to have the fever for a minimum of 7 days. Testing prior to 7 days of fever may give false negative results.
Let me know if I could help further.
