Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached reports.
The immunologic tests are positive.
Also strongly positive which means you need treatment too.
Dont worry.
Treatment is very simple and requires regular daily or thrice weekly medications.
Do follow your doctor advice.
Also you may need sputum test for tuberculosis.
Wishing you good health.
