Medical Exam for Past PTB Patient
Dears,
I had my Chest X-ray at Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital, Lahore pakistan. It gives following report
" Bilateral apical fibrosis in keeping with previous TB. Activity would need to be clinically excluded"
then I had clinical tests ( Montoux, Mycodout, ESR) for PTB, which are negative. means I dont have neither active TB or infected TB presentaly.
Now I want to know, Can I clear medical exam to work in qatar.
I appreciate any help regarding this issue.

how about in my case? if i have left pleural thickening is it the same as i have also scar?do i have to undergo some laboratory tests? do i still have a chance? i had my sputum exam before in my country and i was negative, but the pleural thickening is always there everytime i had my medical...
Yes bon you are right. if there is any abnormality, they asked for re-take. But in my and most of case if there is any scar in lungs that remain whole life, so radiologist asks for some lab test, which shows that person having disease or not. My lab tests are clear only x-ray showing some abnormality.
I think if you are in qatar better to conuslt privately with dr. radilogist , who is working in same medical center.
any one want to share any info.. we'll appreciate.

radiologists have different diagnosis with your xray. they can identify if you have an active tb or not. but usually if they found something strange in your xray, they will let you take another xray for verification,if there's still something, either they will advise you for another xray or you will be refered to a hospital for maybe laboratory tests or evaluation like my situation stated below... please advise me if anyone of you here heard about this situation:
-------
i was informed the other day by our personnel that i have to take medical again for the third time. i was thinking that i would be taken xray again but when i arrived to the medical commission and gave my name,they gave me a referal form where my xray diagnosis was written below. i was diagnosed with "left pleural thickening...for evaluation". the other 2 people also received a referal form but their diagnosis were the same, "right apical pleural scar... for evaluation".
in my referal form,
purpose of referal is:
-Assessment
-Supervisor
but to the other 2 people:
-Assessment
-Electrician
I am wondering what are these Supervisor and Electrician.
But in my own understanding, Assessment with Supervisor which is maybe i will be having an interview with the supervisor.
and this electrician, maybe for laboratory tests or medication or what?
Medical commission advised us to give our referal form to our admin and have an appointment with a certain hospital here in Al Khor.
Is there anyone here went from this situation?
Please share your knowledge about this matter....do i still have HOPE?
thanks...
