Question 1

Hello doctor, my Mantoux test was done two days ago. I attached pictures. Can you please tell me if it is positive or negative? Today the pathology lab where my test was done is closed for 2 days, so please help me. My past history: I was diagnosed with tuberculosis 2 years ago and completed my full course. After doctor consultation, medicine was stopped after 1 year. Again, due to pain in my full body, my physician advised this test. Can you please tell me the result?

Question 2

Hi Sir, she is 28 years old. The report shows skin induration 18 mm and erythema present. What does this report indicate? Please tell me which medicine is suggested.

Question 3

I am a 23 year old girl suffering from XDR lymphatic tuberculosis and I have been on medication for the last 13 months. The medicines are moxifloxacin, clofazimine, delamanid, bedaquiline and cycloserine. I took capreomycin injection for 8 months. My reports are negative now but I am suffering from body ache, weakness in legs and hands, and breathlessness. My period is due in the next 3 to 4 days. Why is this happening and what should I do?

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.
