Hi,
It implies that titre of typhoid is 1:40 which may be considered positive at your place. At places where typhoid infection is not common less titre like yours is considered positive. But at places like India where typhoid is endemic such low titre is considered negative.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
