Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that positive manitou test is suggestive of tuberculosis and should be tested further for AFB staining. Till that time I advise you should start Anti Tuberculosis Treatment under your doctors guidance and should take follow up after the AFB testing. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
