I have been suffering from fever for the past month and there is a tumour-like swelling around my neck area. A doctor advised me to go for a USG-guided biopsy. In my report, it says features are suggestive of granulomatous lymphadenitis. No evidence of malignancy is noticed. What does it mean?

This suggests chronic inflammation, often from TB or sarcoidosis. Not cancer. Further testing required.

My father has been suffering from fever since 26 February. Medication was started, which I mentioned above, but there is no relief. Then I consulted a pulmonary doctor who told me it is an infection after seeing the X ray. One more thing, the blood test report is normal except hemoglobin, which is 11. No typhoid or malaria was diagnosed. What should I do? Kindly guide me.

My blood report shows a Mantoux test result with an induration of 22 mm, which is positive. What does this indicate?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with a UTI, along with vaginal itching and discharge. My urine report continued to show the presence of pus cells. Recently, I have also been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. My Mantoux test result is 10 by 15 mm, and my chest Xray is normal. Could this mean I am suffering from tuberculosis?
