This suggests a positive Mantoux test, indicating TB exposure. It is not diagnostic of active TB. Further evaluation with a chest X ray and physician consult is needed.

Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a TB Gold Test Test

Question

I am a TB patient having fluid in my lungs and pain in the chest due to the fluid. Some fluid was removed previously by a doctor and checked in the lab which confirmed TB.

Hi, I have been taking tuberculosis medication for 8 months. My recent tests show that I no longer have tuberculosis. However, I have been experiencing a low grade fever of 99 to 99.3F for some time, and today it rose to 101F. Could you please explain the possible causes of this persistent fever and why it might be happening?
