Will this affect his medical exam for his immigration spousal sponsorship? Does he still needs treatment or medication for this? I need an honest answers for this, please and Thank you.
Hi Kathleen,
It means they have found evidence that your husband has or did have tuberculosis. They aren't sure if it is active - he will need more tests to determine.
I'm not sure as to immigration but really, he shouldn't be traveling if he has active tuberculosis, he can easily infect others.
Yes, he needs treatment.
Hope it helps.
What is the meaning of "bilateral upper lobe ptb likely residua"? Thank You.
I have ptb bilateral densities upper and lower lobe. What does this mean? Thanks.
