If in widal test antibody titres are above 1:160 either for Salmonella O or H antigen then we call it as a positive test for typhoid fever. And if clinically fever is persistent then we see for serial rise in titres .
Next Steps
If clinically patient is stable and improvement in fever then no need to repeat the test but if fever is persistent and other symptoms also appear then consult with the doctor physically.
