Hi
The above stated test result is suggestive enteric fever, but if the test is done with rapid slide method then it should be repeated again with the tit ration method increase level of Liver enzyme is nothing to worry in infective state of body this enzyme tend to increases, initially your brother had been given antibiotic erratically which brings drug the resistance among the bacteria this is mistake done, now he should be given floroquinolones (ofloxacine 600mg twice a day) along with the chloromphenicol 500 mg thrice a day for six days keep good hydration state . Get well soon
