Brief Answer:
Normal widal test

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

The widal test you have furnished is also normal however I must add that widal is usually interpreted by increasing trend of the widal. Which means that if you persist to have fever I would want you to repeat the widal to see for an increasing titre of the widal to rule out typhoid
