Mantoux test is often referred to as a Pirquet test or a tuberculin sensitivity test. It is a kind of skin test used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).
TB is an infectious and contagious sickness that affects your lungs. It can also spread to other regions of the body, such as the brain or spine. It is caused by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mantoux test is effective in screening for TB. The interpretation of this test is based on determining the presence or absence of the amount of localised swelling. It is used to see if a person has established an immune response to the bacterium that causes TB.

Your test results usually mention the diameter of the induration (localised swelling at the test site). The reference range of the induration is 0-15 millimetres at an increment of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm. An induration size of more than 15 mm is considered positive in a normal patient. A swelling of less than 4 mm is considered negative.

What does the CBC Test Measure ?
A complete blood count is a common blood test that is often a part of a routine checkup or even in case of seasonal illness. Complete blood counts can help detect a variety of disorders including infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system and even blood cancers.
Abnormal levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin or hematocrit may be a sign of anemia, heart disease or low iron levels in your body.
Low white cell count may be a sign of an autoimmune disorder, bone marrow disorder, or cancer.
High white cell count may be a sign of an infection or a reaction to medicine.
Low platelet count can be a signal of blood cancer, alcoholic liver disease, viral infections like HIV, Hepatitis etc.
Why should I do the CBC Test ?
Ideally any test should be done on advise of doctor. However, CBC is a general test that can be done on your own as well. Incase you are having fever which is not improving even after 3 days of taking anti-pyretic medicine like Paracetamol then a CBC test may be done to rule out any infection. A doctor may also prescribe the test for initial diagnosis of any infection, cancer or any kind of anemia.
