Medical question, please answer..

[luit2001]

If the Dr. finds TB related complicacy, what does he do? Does he tell about it? Or close the envelop and give it to you? Or, is there going to be any further tests, for how many days?

And what is the action taken for old TB which has been cured long back (say 5/6 years back)?

Thanks.
Luit.

I believe it depends on the problem. If you had positive PPD, you need a chest x ray (CXR). I believe they will do a CXR anyway. If the CXR is abnormal, then they may ask for further testing, like sputum test or CT scan etc; if you have symptoms. If you know that there is abnormal CXR, then better to take the reports with you.
Hope this is of help.
