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?

A Mantoux of 10 by 15mm could be positive, depending on risk and exposure. Further TB evaluation may be needed. Vaginal symptoms may need a gynaecological review.

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?

Hi, I have been taking tuberculosis medication for 8 months. My recent tests show that I no longer have tuberculosis.
