hello dear
thanks for your query at Hcm
your brother might be suffering from typhoid fever.
The widal test is positive if typhoid o titre more than 1:160 and typhoid H more than 1:160. a single report is not much of value , repeat test with increasinv titres is more diagnostic of typhoid .
consult doctor for medication against typhoid according suspetability in your region.
Regards
