Well come to HCM
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the given result is negative for typhoid infection, ideally the clinical symptoms needs to be correlate with the tests, but the given test results are not indicative any typhoid infection, single strength of salmonilla H is not specific and it is not being taken into consideration for final diagnosis of typhoid, previous incidence of infection may gives the positive result for any single strength of typhoid infection, I would again say that the clinical symptoms are matter of concern, because in negative test result on clinical basis it can be diagnosed as typhoid fever hope this information helps.
