Mantoux Test

I have been study about Mantoux test in university last time. It's been some time since I last read about it and now I finally have the chance to experience it. Actually I wasn't so ready to blog about it earlier on. But then I guess it's my blog, i just want to throw out my feeling here.

It's all started when I got that job offer and I went to the medical check up. The doctor of the panel clinic told me that she suspected that my lung got some kind of infection or worst tuberculosis (commonly known as TB). I was so shocked that time I don't know how to response to this. I still manage my emotion and went to Institut Respitori Negara (National Respitory Institute) in Jalan Pahang for specialist check up.

Last week, they asked me to produce the a sputum test (analysis of the plegm) and come back again on this week Tuesday (yesterday) for further testing. They took another 2 more sputum test before asked me to wait for the doctor. Waited for almost 2 hours then the doctor summoned me, just asking me a few question regarding my history whether I had been infected any lung disease before or not.

After all those waiting, just 2 minutes there with that doctor, he asked me to go for further testing to confirm whether it's not tuberculosis or not although my phlegm seems free from that mycobacteria. So I went for blood test, urine test, Mantoux test and produce them another sputum for testing. I got to go back this Friday for Mantoux test dianogsis and as well to produce them another last sputum for testing I guess. That doctor told me that I'll have another appointment with him on 14th August. I guess that is the day that I'll be inform about my testing result.

Asking me whether am I nervous about it? I don't know it either. I don't feel I'm sick no matter how but it's up to luck at times. I do pray for everything is fine and everything is good so that I can start working as soon as possible. I'm currently running out of cash. LOL.
