Brief Answer:
It's Typhoid
Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.
This test is done to know whether there is any Typhoid fever or not . Any value of 1:160 or more is taken as Positive. But again there is a catch here.
In place where Typhoid Infection is more prevalent the value of 1:160 is taken as borderline , mean it may or may not be positive.
If you have fever then I would advise a test called IgM Typhi Dot which will confirm whether Typhoid is there or not .
Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
