Ano po ang specific na nakalagay sa result ng iyong chest x-ray? Maaaring ang nakikita ay mga fibrosis o "peklat" galing sa dating infection na maaaring dating pulmonary tuberculosis o TB. May history ka ba ng TB o primary complex nung bata ka? Maaari kasing makita ito kahit na wala kang aktibong tuberculosis, kaya negative din palagi ang iyong sputum examination. Kung ito naman ang case, kadalasan, ikaw ay macclear naman for work, maaari rin silang mag request ng PPD o skin test.
