What is the normal titer value after typhoid fever?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Widal test is a vague test which has limitations. It is done only to get an idea of which type of organism might be present. If you see the report again, you will not find any value for a zero level, means the level of a normal person can also not be zero. Anything less than 160 be it 20, 40 or 80 is considered normal.

It is called MDR-TB (Multidrug resistant Tuberculosis).
