His ultrasound is clear but the next day test for typhoid TYPHI DOT lgM came as positive. My concern is, there is no fever till date. Does he really have typhoid

Some results come falsely positive...reports have some limitations..they may not be accurate all times..sometimes it comes positive for previous/ other infections..if child active/ no fever..wait and watch ..consult if symptoms present..however..need to examine..before further suggestions
