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
Happy to help you
