Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your son is not suffering from paratyphoid fever.
Single titration value of Salmonella Paratyphi (B-O)or Salmonella Paratyphi (B-H)> 1:160 indicate paratyphoid fever.
However four fold increase in titration is confirmatory.
Your son's fever may be due to other reasons.He need proper clinical evaluation.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
