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

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

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?

Question

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?
