[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Manitou test is now diagnostic of tuberculosis. Only on the basis on Manitou test result, anti-tubercular Chat Doctor.  This test is used for only screening purpose. It is just given additional information about having TB infection. So tuberculosis should not be diagnosed by Manitou positive. You symptoms like loss of appetite, evening rise fever, vomiting etc. can be due to intestinal infection. So better to get done blood reports, ultrasound examination of abdomen and chest x-ray to rule out other possible causes. Don't start anti-tubercular
