Brief Answer:
Typhoid.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Your blood report-widal tests is suggestive of typhoid fever (1:160 dilution positive) which must be treated with appropriate antibiotics course for the complete course.

But before going into further discussion,let me know about your clinical signs and symptoms like fever,loss of appetite etc.

Also,share any other blood report if you have done.

Kindly get back to me with more information.
