hi there, these tests are done to detect if you are suffering from typhoid fever. These are the titers and as your titers are negative in 1/160 and above they are not significant. Also you need to repeat them again after a week. If they are raised then are significant and indicate that you may be suffering from typhoid infection,at present these test results do not indicate that you are infected.
