[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that Immunoglobulin tests for tuberculosis is now banned by WHO because in country like INDIA you often come in contact with tuberculosis and many negative TB patients even have this positive. But as you have asked I would like to answer that as you have taken the treatment for about 10 months now you are in the phase of final cure of the disease. IG M is showing an active disease which is equivocal means ends towards negative. Egg is positive which is showing a that treatment is near to cure the disease. If you have anything else to ask, kindly contact me Chat Doctor
