Hey guys, don't worry at all. Incase your x-ray is suggestive of TB, IRCC will ask you to consult a chest physician and start your treatment. However if your x-rays don't show any growth and if your sputum culture results are negative, your medicals are most likely to get cleared.
IRCC doesn't put your application on hold even if they ask you for further medical tests. Biometrics can still be given.
I'm undergoing treatment for asymptomatic TB with no history of it. But my chest physician suggested that I complete a treatment in India itself instead of it getting reactive abroad. I've had to defer my study plans twice - once due to Covid and once due to my treatment. Stressing won't help. Just follow the instructions that IRCC gives you and everything will be fine

Hi. I have a question. We just got a medical furtherance And asking for sputum and cheat x ray. But they told us to get the e xay done after 20th august. And we just have 60 days to get it done. Sputum takes 8 weeks. So my concern is how to get the sputum test done. Do we need to wait for the panel doctor to send the information and then to go lab to get it done. And how to inform ircc that sputum will take 8 weeks.Hey guys, don't worry at all. Incase your x-ray is suggestive of TB, IRCC will ask you to consult a chest physician and start your treatment.

Better visit your clinic asap so they can schedule and start your sputum culture. I did mine on the 26th april and did last week my second xray.
Yes did it already. Gave samples to the lab as well. But we are sure about the samples we gave for sputum. Whether they will accept it or not. I am still waiting for the reply from them about the smear test.. how long does it take?? Do u know?
Sputum culture result could take from 6-8 weeks. I am not so sure about smear test.
AFB Smear results are available in 24 to 48 hours and so is the GenExpert, these are the quickest way to find if there is an active TB, if negative there is no need to worry, in 99% cases culture will be negative if the AFB smear and Genexpert were negative, however, it may find inactive TB which is of not concern, and that's why they ask for culture tests.
