Hello everyone, anyone else received this letter after ng medical? Pashare naman po experience. Mejo weird lang for me, kasi wala naman akong tb. Never diagnosed and ok naman ung Annual Physical Exam ko from company.
The applicant’s health assessment has been deferred as I do not have sufficient information to determine whether or not they meet the health requirement.
The applicant must complete the following additional assessments and/or provide the additional information specified below:
603
Investigation and report by a respiratory specialist (pulmonologist) from an Approved TB Facility (as per Appendix D of the current Australian Panel Member Instructions), is required for current status regarding tuberculosis. The applicant must attend or have their sputum specimens processed by
this Approved TB Facility. A recent chest X-ray showed a localised focus of fibrocystic change LMZ. Please include the following information:- Clinical examination findings;- Laboratory report of 3 current AFB smears (preferably auramine staining) and MTB cultures of sputum samples taken on 3 different mornings (or other appropriate specimens as clinically indicated) at the Approved facility.All sputum samples which are smear positive require molecular testing (e.g. Xpert RIF/MTB), if available. All sputum samples which are culture positive always require first, and, if relevant, second line drug susceptibility testing (DST) regardless of whether molecular tests were undertaken- Old chest X-rays for comparison (if available). Reports can be submitted if images available are not digital.- Repeat chest X-rays PA image 3 months after the initial chest X-ray- Any previous reports regarding any treatment of tuberculosis;If TB has been excluded, please exclude other pathology that could cause the abnormal chest X-rays findings.
