Hi,
Thanks for query,
Erythocyte sedimentation rate or ESR has no diagnostic value but it is used to measure prognostic value.
High value then normal indicates presence of disease but its rising value indicates that the disease is increasing while compared to previous low value indicates that the disease is under control.
It is some times found higher in tuberculous infection but as in your case Lymphocyte shows only &7% indicate presence of Tuberculous infection is under control.
The use of Myrin P should be supervised by a physician .
Thanks.
