It has been almost 6 months since my spouse’s medical exam began in Pakistan. After a Left upper lobe shadow (consolidation), she has since gone multiple tests/investigations to rule out Tuberculosis. Sputum Cultures, multiple chest X-Rays, CT scan and multiple chest specialist appointments. And all of them have ruled out any kind of infectious disease, however she yet again received another furtherance letter on May 18th, 2018 for further tests. Please see below timeline:
December 28th, 2017 - First medical exam request from CIC
January 9th, 2018 – Had her first tests and Chest Xray at IOM Karachi Migration Health Assessment Center. Chest X-Ray was not cleared.
January 15th, 2018 - Furtherance letter for further medical test
January 23, 24th and 25th, 2018 - sputum test for TB. All normal (3 months wait time and repeat Chest Xray on April 9th, 2018)
January 29th, 2018 - chest specialist appointment. And he cleared me.
April 9th, 2018 - My sputum test was clear and repeated my chest X-Ray
April 20th, 2018 – Furtherance letter for further medical test. Went for CT Scan.
May 8th, 2018 – CT Scan of the chest result and Chest specialist appointment -> Mentioned some old resolving shadow but no symptoms and all clear
MAY 18TH, 2018 – Furtherance letter for further medical exam
How long will this go on for when she is cleared for any infectious pathology such TB. There is small little shadow in the LUL without any symptoms at all. Please help me. Thank you.
