I have recently done Mantoux test and the induration reading has come as 12 mm. I am 29 year old woman. Please suggest if I have TB.
hi dear,+ montox test doesnt mean one is having TB bt 12mm induration is is a matter of worry. u bettr confirm it by elisa or sputum microscopy,coz antiTB drugs have lots of side effects.. take care
Hello there,
Well, first of all you need to consult with your doctor about your tests results. Most common symptom of tuberculosis is chronic cough and sputum production, and if the condition has been advanced sputum will contain blood. Additional symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite, weight loss, fever and usually night sweats. Since you have been doing one tests, I presume that your doctor will send you to do chest X-ray examination, which is most important test to discover tuberculosis.
When it comes to the treatment, you need to know that it takes a long time. It involves four to six different kinds of antibiotics which are taken during period of 6 to 9 months. I hope that this was helpful.
