Hello
Your report may suggest positive widal test.It indicates typhoid fever.Its titration for positive results varies with laboratory.
Salmonella O or H antibody value > or equal to 1 : 80 indicates typhoid fever.
A single Widal test is of little clinical relevance due to the number of cross reacting infections.However,four fold increase in serial titration is confirmatory.
You may need antibiotics after clinical evaluation.
Take Care
