History Of Tuberculosis. Scar In Lungs. Showing Up In Medical Tests While Applying For Jobs. Suggestions?
hello Dr. Dinesh Goyal, I am now currently applying for a job in Dubai but i have a problem regarding my medical, I have a past tuberculosis history and has been treated for even up to 9 months to ensure that i am already cured from the disease but unfortunately it was found to have left a scar in my lungs. my pulmonologist had already issued a medical certificate to assure that i am already healed from the disease. Does the medical certificate issued by my doctor be enough to consider me for hiring? thank you very much.

Very often TB heals by leaving a scar tissue ib the lungs. Since you do not have any symptoms, have taken complete treatment and a doctor has already issued a certificate of fitness to you, i don`nt think there should be any problem. A the most they may ask you to undergo some more tests like a sputum test and a CT Chest and you may be examined by the doctor deputed by their embassy.
