Hello po may nakaexperience po ba dito na never nagkaron ng TB, may APE sa work for the past 5 yrs at laging clear naman ang results. pero nung nagpamedical sa st lukes as requirement ng visa, biglang nakitaan ng significant finding? actually medyo narinig na din namin rumors na ganto online kaya nagpaxray ako a week before actual medical at clear naman. ngayon after medical sa st. lukes sabi may significant findings. bakit ganto :cry:
Sa POEA medicals experience ko, but relevant:
Basically, ung usual APE with x-ray, they don't particularly look for TB scars, they only look for active issues. So ngayon tong OEC and for sure AU health exam, they are tasked to specifically look for any signs whether a scar or any dormant TB signs are present. Nung nag pa xray ka ba before the actual exam, did you specifically ask your doc to look for any signs or scar and express your concern about inactive TB?
I had this issue with my POEA medical clearance but thankfully for AU's health exam, this issue did not materialise. Sobrang kabado ko dito.
