Hello
Your reports suggests negative widal test.Non reactive test means it is negative.
A single Widal test is of little clinical relevance due to the number of cross reacting infections.However,four fold increase in serial titration is confirmatory.
It need clinical correlation.You may need repeat widal test if it is clinically indicated.
Take Care
