Respiratory specialist (pulmonologist) investigation and report required for current status regarding
tuberculosis. A recent chest x-ray showed opacities in the right middle zone, particularly seen in RAO

views.Please include the following information:- Clinical examination findings;- Results of 3 current
smears and cultures (sputum samples taken on 3 different mornings, or other appropriate specimens
as clinically indicated) and cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (plus DST if cultures are positive).-

Old chest x-rays for comparison (if available). Reports can be submitted if images available are not

digital.- Repeat PA and RAO image 3 months after the initial CXR- Any previous reports regarding any

treatment of tuberculosis;If TB has been excluded, please exclude other pathology that could cause the abnormal x-ray findings.

Anybody have gone through this? This is for my mother. Just to confirm she can’t get visa for another 3 months because of the X-ray after? How long usually does it take to get the clearance in your experience? if she clears the Sputum test?

Thanks in advance.
