Weakness Prevailing ,DR. prescribed 100 mg Doxycyline 2 times daily for 14 days after that cbc and Esr test will be done,is it true treatment, what is the disease
MANTOUX TEST RESULT IS "Erythema %26amp; iduration present " Diameter:10 Interpretation:positive Blood ESR 67
The Mantoux test is a skin test for tuberculosis. It is positive because you either had a BCG vaccination or you have been exposed to tuberculosis. The ESR is a sedimentation rate of red blood cells, and it is elevated. That means there is some sort of infection present somewhere in the body, but otherwise doesn't tell what or where. The Doxycline is an antibiotic probably to treat the infection. For more information, especially about the need for further treatment or testing, you really need to speak with the doctor treating you. You need to have good explainations before you leave a doctor's office, and be sure you understand what is wrong and what you need to do. The internet is not a reliable place to get those kind of answers. If you are really unsure about the information you have, you need to return to your doctor and find out from him. There is no way to know for certain otherwise.
