Hello and welcome to HCM,
The antibody titres of 1:320 for typhoid antigen H and O is suggestive of typhoid fever.
The clinical course of disease is characterised by fever.
However, the fever decreases or disappears after few days of infection.
Since, the antibody titre is significant, thus treatment for typhoid needs to be take.
Thanks and take care
