Hello,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the data that you have posted.
kindly let us know the blood test which they used to diagnose TB.
there is no blood test to diagnose TB.
I suppose they might have used IGRA, which may remain positive after having tuberculosis..
IGRA is used to detect latent TB.
Hope this helps.
