[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your question. I can very well understand your concern. Positive manitou test is one of the diagnostic criteria for tuberculosis. But in many cases it could be falsely positive also like improper method or technique of administration, recent BCG vaccination, Infection with non-tuberculous bacteria etc. According to guidelines it should be associated with other risk factors. Watch for following symptoms1) Cough more than two weeks duration.2) Fever for more than 15 days not responding to antibiotics.3) weight loss.4) decreased appetite. If your baby is still unwell then I will advise CBC with ESR, sputum examination, Chest x-ray. Consult your pediatrician for the same. Hope this helps you. Regards.
