also note keep ur ppd test... kasi once may ppd test na kayo u r not allowed to have another one kasi swelling will be really become big na and may cases na matagal mawala kasi reaction na yan sa 1st ppd test nyo.
forever na po yun positive ppd..it means carrier state po but NOT infective... hindi po nakahawa.
it is true na almost all pinoys are exposed to tb.. it just means that we are carriers na. if we get cancer and go into chemotherapy..may chance we will get active tb .. yan ang ibig sabihin ng positive
ppd test.
ang sputum test lang ang makakasabi if the tb is currently active or not.. pero usually lahat ng.pinoy positive ppd test pero negative sputum... and treated may or may not have scarring sa lungs.
pero sa case ng original poster kasi 11yrs na si anak na most likey the child will be required another x-ray. it would be good if u get a mdecial certificate that she was treated na as a child.
takot na takot ang mga puti sa tb.. hehehehe.. yan kasi if maka pasok sa country nila. nakakamatay kasi ang tb for those who are on chemo or may h.i.v or yung galing kidney/heart transplant... eh sa 1st world country marami nyan eh.
