Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

Widal is a blood test done to diagnose for Typhoid infection.

A value of 160 or more is considered as positive for typhoid so in your case it is considered as negative .

But again it depends on after how many days of fever this test has been done . Kindly let me know this detail.

Regards.
