    kapag sa pinas ka nag pa xray at may scar, automatic may sputum test. kapag sa ibang bansa gaya ng singapore, xray lang ok na at hindi na tinignan ung mga lumang xray films. May scar din ako at smooth ang naging process kasi sa singapore ako nag medical. nag follow-up lang dito sa australia pagdating na, isang xray lang then ok na. That's 2014, not sure now, ung wife ko kasi sa St lukes nag medical sa manila grabe dami ng tao.

    not sure eh. Pero baka mag dududa pa rin ung immigration officer (depende sa immigration officer usually i rerefer ka nyan sa department na incharge sa medical/ health). Advantage kasi ng mag pamedical sa 1st world countries, feeling ko mas confident sila sa results. Tingin ko lang hehe. Dala ko pa mga lumang xray films sa clinic pero hindi na tinignan ng medical sa sg kasi luma na daw. Naging problema ko din kasi yan dati at nung sa pinas, kasabayan ng wife ko mag medical na may scar may sputum test sked agad tapos followup xray pa after ng ilang months ata, madugo. Sa singapore, sa may bandang orchard me nag pamedical parang hotel, pinay pa ung nurse, wala pa 20 mins tapos lahat. walang sakit ng ulo, may kasama lang na form ung visa approval ko na mag follow-up xray pagdating dito sa aussie. Ngaun, wala na ako iniisip.

    Guys, question lang kung may idea kayo. Once ba na health clearance provided na yung status sa immi account may possibility pa ba na ma refer sa MOC or mabigyan ng health undertaking or to take additional medical test? Medyo mataas kasi yung bp ko nung nagpamedical dito sa sg, nagadd yung doctor ng creatinine test and yung result is normal naman daw.

    Hi guys..katatapos ko lang magpamedical sa Nationwide. I declared that I had TB 10 yrs ago and was treated for 7 months. From then, always napong normal every year ang xray ko. Dineclare ko po yon kanina. Naworry lang ako kasi although wala pang official results kanina, pina repeat xray ako same day for a different position kasi may bone daw at hindi nla makikita. May nakaencounter ba nang ganito? Baka pinarepeat ako dahil they want to see if I have a scar dahil may history ako at baka wala talagang nakita sa first xray. Nakakastress din dahil baka may makita tuloy. Haaist..:(

    Sputum culture is already done and repeat xray will be this week. Anyone knows or has experience how long did you wait after the repeat xray to get the grant? Assuming no medical issues na...

    @PMPdreamer We have the same case. Last October 19 I got negative results from my sputum test (8-week culture), but my 2nd X-ray results show "slight" or "small" regression of fibrous spots on my right lung. The recommendation of the SLEC pulmonologist is to wait for another 3 months and take another X-ray for another evaluation (so this is around January 2018 na). Pero sabi nila, they will still submit the medical results to AUS embassy within 7-10 days (I asked them to expedite this) and it will be up for the embassy to decide.

    @inhinyero16 im a little confused po with your timeline. Pinag te-take ka po ba ng medication? Kasi parang it doesnt make sense to wait for another 3 months and do 3rd xray without taking any medication. Parang, how would it change your result? eto po yung timeline nung saken

    Aug 3 - medical exam
    Aug 24,25,26 - sputum collection
    Aug 31 - smear test result negative
    Nov 6 - i will know the result of culture test, then take 2nd xray

    Saka kelan po kayo nag take ng 2nd xray? Same day po ba ininterpret din yung results sau?

    @PMPdreamer Here is my timeline:

    July 18 - Medical exam at SLEC BGC for visa application (Temporary Activity Visa Subclass 408). I submitted to them my previous X-ray results from last year (different hospital; September 2016).

    Aug 3 - I was informed by SLEC BGC that the AUS embassy is requiring sputum testing. I confirmed this from my application status in my online Immi account. Automatic sputum test yata pag may abnormal findings sa X-ray results. For my case, I think it is residual fibrosis on my upper right lung. I know these from my previous check up and X ray last year, although hindi ito sinabi sa akin ng pulmonologist ng SLEC BGC.

    August 17,18,19 - Sputum collection at SLEC Manila

    August 23 - Smear results are negative.

    October 19 - 8-week culture results are negative. I took another X-ray examination, tapos same-day ang evaluation ng pulmonologist. Sabi niya, there is slight/small movement or regression ("lumiit") of fibrous spots on my upper right lung. This is evidence of "activity"; that means hindi stable ung fibrous spots. Medyo nakipagtalo ako sa pulmonologist as I tried calling it a stable lung scar. Pero according to her, it is not stable kasi nga daw medyo lumiit or nag-regressed compared to my X-ray finding from SLEC BGC 8 weeks ago. I told her I didn't take any anti-TB medicines on the last 8 weeks. Kasi wala naman ako ubo or sipon. I am only taking Vitamin C tablets daily. At saka baka dahil lang ito sa magkaibang X-ray machine ng BGC and Manila (he he). Anyway, still, she can't conclude if the fibrous spots are from TB or not. I think ang nilagay lang niya sa report ay slight regression of something on the upper right lung. Tapos recommendation niya is to wait another 3 months tapos re-take ng X-ray. No need to take medicines during these 3 months (October 20 - January 19).

    According to the SLEC Manila nurse, it will take them 7-10 working days to upload the results on Immi account. I requested them to expedite the process, as I am scheduled to leave PH on November 24. According to AUS guidelines, it is up for the AUS embassy to decide on this. Sabi ng pulmonologist from SLEC Manila, mostly ay sinusunod lang ng AUS embassy ang recommendation ng SLEC. But there are also cases when the embassy will ask the applicant to fulfill a health undertaking (I have read this from the guidelines) tapos sa Australia na lang ang health monitoring. Although the slight regression is a proof of activity, I hope the embassy will still allow me to go via health undertaking this November.

    Ngayon, if the embassy follows the recommendation of SLEC Manila, then I have to take another X-ray on the 3rd week of January 2018. If the X-ray result is still not stable, then SLEC Manila will recommend to the embassy a 3-6 month medication. Then another X-ray ulit.

    Hello, everyone. Been lurking on this site for months now. Very grateful for the tips I get from a lot of users here. :)

    Anyway, my wife and I are done with our medicals. I was cleared by St. Luke's on the results. But for my wife, they found suspicious marks in her CXR, and their recommendation is to have the Sputum test. We're still waiting for the possible go signal from the DIBP. Hope they won't recommend this and just clear us (but reading from previous posts, it is unlikely).

    Just a question. After undergoing the 3-day sputum collection, are we restricted to travel during the 8-week sputum culturing? Or are there any restrictions while waiting for the results? We're just preparing just in case my wife will undergo the test as we have a scheduled vacation to the US in December.

    @patpapat The only restriction that I received before is that I am not allowed to take anti-TB medicine while waiting for the results of culture test. I guess any change in size and shape of suspicious marks in CXR after 8 weeks will cast doubt on TB activity.

    @inhinyero16 pano kaya nila nalaman yung size kung lumaki or lumiit? Mejo subjective and pano kung prob lang sa xray, pano nila irule out? Biruin mo mag aaksya ka ng 3 months for nothing just to get the same results? Eh kung suspicious sila, siguro naman may way to prove na hindi talaga nag take ng medication. Yan din kasi worry ko, pag nagbago daw xray depende sa decision ng dibp. Pero agree ako sau na madalas nag dedepende sila sa recommendation ni SLEC. Btw, di po ako familiar sa 408 eh, pero sana pag health undertaking ka na lang nila... kesa ma delay ka pa...

    @PMPdreamer I applied for visa 408 for a 6-month postdoctoral study in Canberra, and I am already behind in schedule. I am scheduled to leave last August 4, pero dahil sa sputum collection, I decided to move my trip to November 24. Pero yun nga, may problem pala sa X-ray. I decided that if the AUS embassy will follow the recommendation of SLEC Manila, then I will move my trip to July 2018 na, just to provide ample time for medication. Okay lang naman yun sa adviser and university ko sa Canberra.

    Nalaman nila kung lumaki or lumiit by visually comparing your current and previous X-ray results. Sa case ko, una they compared my X-ray last September 2016 and July 18, 2017. Sabi ng SLEC BGC, wala naman daw significant changes. And then SLEC Manila compared my X-ray results ng July 18 (from BGC) and October 19 (from SLEC Manila). The pulmonologist concluded there is slight regression after 8 weeks.

    Of course, they will not admit the significant difference in X-ray machines. I do not know (and I am not trained) how to read X-ray results, so I really do not know how to conclude significant changes in suspicious marks.

    As proof kung nag take ng medication o hindi, I think makikita yun sa X-ray. That is why I didn't drink milk minutes before the X-ray exam. Kasi kung biglang nag-clear ung marks sa X-ray result mo, lalo yun magka-cast ng doubt sa evaluator na you did something during 8 weeks.

    Yes, I do hope they will just require me to take a health undertaking. 6 months lang naman yung stay ko and temporary visa. I also hope SLEC will not find anything suspicious to your X-ray exam on November. Good luck to us!

    @patpapat Good luck and God bless! Enjoy your US vacation!

    Hi everyone,

    Ask ko lang sana kung meron ba dito nag apply ng subclass 189 (independent skilled visa) as a Registred Nurse with a history of PTB?

    I was diagnosed in February 2012 then I’ve completed the treament in September 2012. If ma prove ko ba sa medical exam ko na wala ako active PTB ma a-approve kaya application ko? Di ko kasi sure if DIBP will approve it since I’ll be working as a nurse.

    Sputum culture is already done and repeat xray will be this week. Anyone knows or has experience how long did you wait after the repeat xray to get the grant? Assuming no medical issues na...

    @Shakespeare23 sakin 4 months after repeat x-ray nakuha ko na visa. :)

    Hello, everyone. Been lurking on this site for months now. Very grateful for the tips I get from a lot of users here. :)

    Anyway, my wife and I are done with our medicals. I was cleared by St. Luke's on the results. But for my wife, they found suspicious marks in her CXR, and their recommendation is to have the Sputum test. We're still waiting for the possible go signal from the DIBP. Hope they won't recommend this and just clear us (but reading from previous posts, it is unlikely).

    Just a question. After undergoing the 3-day sputum collection, are we restricted to travel during the 8-week sputum culturing? Or are there any restrictions while waiting for the results? We're just preparing just in case my wife will undergo the test as we have a scheduled vacation to the US in December.

    @patpapat i think wala naman restrictions.. during 8-week sputum culture ko, 3 times ako nag out of town sa Visayas and Palawan.
