Have A Findings Of Lung Scar, Fibrosis, Took FIXCOM 4. What Are Treatment Options?

Hi, I would like to ask if there is a chance that i can work in Abu Dhabi since i have a findings of lung scar or they called it Fibrosis . I don t have any history of getting PTB on my childhood days but I might be exposed back then on the bacteria. I have gone to a Pulmonologist in my country and he gave me a medicine (FIXCOM 4) which he said to ensure that any bacteria left may be removed. I have also perform sputum test and the result is negative. I have done skin test and the result is negative also. I am having doubt if i can take the rick in applying to this country but i really wanted to work there....I would be highly appreciated if you can give enlightment on my query with regards to this item. Many thanks and Best Regards, Leo

Hi,
From your description you are probably suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. But the exact timing of antitubercular drugs (ATD)you have taken is not mentioned. This should be closely monitored by your pulmonlogist. FIXCOM 4 is ATD. You have to complete the course according to your disease status. Lung fibrosis is common sequel of PTB. So do not discontinue the drugs unless your pulmonologist thinks so.
