Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. TSH is within normal limits.
2. Mantoux test of 20 mm indicates you are positive for tuberculosis infection.
3. ESR is well within normal limits. Get a repeat mantoux test or ESR.
Discuss with your doctor.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
Your TSH is 1.65 which is normal
ESR is 2 which is also normal
TB 20 mm I suppose that was montoux test which is abnormal which means your body has been infected by tuberculosis previously it may not be active though
Hope that resolve your query
