Hi!
welcome to HCM!
In general , a titer of greater than 200 is considered high
At 1:160 , it would be important to interpret it with your other results.If the previous result was 1:80, it implies an increase.It increases in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week, after which it starts to decline.
A positive blood culture and four fold rise in the antibody titer are more suggestive of enteric fever.So go for a blood culture and repeat titres next week.
Your hematology results look satisfactory.Take care!
