Medical on Family Vist after PPD +ve
Hi,
My wife came in work visa here.
During her medical her PPD was +ve and she was sent back.
Now I'm taking her on Family Visit visa.
She need to go to the Medical again.
Will there be a problem in medical same as earlier even now when she is in Family Visit Visa?
Will they do PPD again and will there be a big issue this time too?
Is she taking any medicines/therapy like steroids (for allergy/asthma) as these could lead to innacurate results. Have your wife be tested on your country for TB because PPD is not always accurate. People who tend to put pressure on the test site will have a smaller blister, which would then lead for the result to be positive carrier of TB. If she is negative on the test done on your country, then the next time she'll be tested for PPD, don't put any pressure on the test site. If it swells bigger, then it's a good sign that she is not a carrier of TB.
just my 2 cents...
