Problem in Medical
Thank You for early Answers.
My Friend whent for medical last week. he is in qatar for first time in Work Visa. He had TB early (10 years before). Now in medical they repeated the XRay and then they asked to come for a PPD. He did the PPD last week. And he should go again on Sunday to show the effects of the PPD test. Can some one tell me what will happen if the PPD test is Negetive and if the test is Possitive? if the test is Negetive if there will be any more tests or X Rays?
what is the update, what happened to the medical, I am also in the same situation. please reply
The PPD(Purified Protein Derivative) or commonly known to us as Tuberculin Test is done to determine the presence of bacterial infection in our body...
And if the result is "negative", no further tests to be done. But if the result is positive, though it does suggest that your friend may or may not have an active TB,...he will still need to repeat a Chest X-Ray to be able for his Doctor to learn and understand its implications and decide whether your friend can be recommended for fit to work visa or not? Hope it helps :)
