Exposure varies per person, so it is possible. This is just a minor setback, in two months you can get through this and schedule your interview.. God bless and just keep the faith!

Prayers lang sis.. time flies quickly divert mo nalang attention mo sa mga pang positive na bagay like preparation sa bago ninyong life sa states soon, work out ( this helped a lot battling my occassion bouts of paranoia )and stay healthy.. iwasan mong magkasakit kahit simpleng ubo. best of luck to you and your baybee

St. Lukes sees spots on x-rays all the time. However, only a tiny percentage result in a positive TB culture.

It's likely nothing to worry about.

The difficult part is the waiting.

i hope your sputum test will be negative.i heard about sputum thing during my medical days at the st.lukes and they told me that it takes 3 to 4 weeks...but i dont know if it was right.

during my daughter and i medical days(may16-19) i always pray that results will be negative.but my daughter tuberculin skin test was positive.which surprised me bcoz no one in the family has tb thing..but the lady doc told me that she was exposed on a person that has tb.

i told the lady doctor that my daughter scratched it when we were in the hotel so it go infected or something but she again didnt believed me.so what she did..she'd advised us to have her an xray!! what a heck.my daughter was so scared at the xray room and was crying.it was her first time(she's only 8yrs old).

the next day we went back and im glad it was negative.
