Do you need to be screened for tuberculosis (TB)? Close

Bangladesh
Burkina Faso
Cambodia
Cote d'Ivoire
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Eritrea
Ghana
Kenya
Laos
Niger
Pakistan
Rwanda
Somalia
Sudan
Tanzania
Thailand
Togo
Uganda


The only exceptions are children under 11 years old,

Marie, I suggest that you have a look at this thread :-
http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php/31919-TB-curable-but-a-long-way-to-go. , especially # 20 and # 22.
It comes as a surprise to many people that tuberculosis ( TB ) is one of the most important infectious causes of serious illness in the world. This includes the Philippines and to a lesser degree the UK. The Philippines will be included in a pre-entry screening programme.
A second surprise is that a Chest X -ray is not the only test needed to diagnose TB.
The third surprise is that - once diagnosed - TB is treatable, but only with the right drugs for the correct length of time.
