Titre insignificant means the antibody levels are too low to confirm active infection. If you are already feeling better, no specific action may be needed. However, do follow up with your doctor for clinical correlation.

I have been experiencing fever around 104F for the past 3 to 4 days, which sometimes comes and goes, along with a bad sore throat, dizziness, flu symptoms, and fatigue. I had a Widal test for typhoid, and the result came back positive. The report also notes that titres in excess of 1:80 are probably significant.

Other findings include serum triglycerides 267.2 mg/dL, serum uric acid 5.5 mg/dL, pus cells 4 to 6/H.P.F, RBCs 2 to 4/H.P.F, and hemoglobin 10.7. I also have xanthomas on my eyes and body.
