Dear friend, welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.

There are too many typo errors in the matter that you have typed in.
It is difficult to tell; but I guess it is showing salmonella paratyphi sub-types O antigen positivity in titres 1: 160
You could be infected with salmonellae paratyphi (typhoid like illness). Typhus is different and is caused by rickettsia.

It would greatly help if you could upload the actual scanned report here using the uploading service available on this site just below the text box. You can email the reports / scans to
attachments@healthcaremagic.com      with subject- (Attn: Dr. Prasad Akole)

You can ask a direct query to me on this site at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole

I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole
