Two Blood Test at KAMORASS

[tummyode 0]

Hello everyone,

I was at Kamorass for collection of result but the Doctor took my blood sample the Second time for more test.

He metioned something like immunity level. The matron advised me to go for the interview with result and come back later. What is your view of this? have had a similar experience?

Thanks alot.

Sounds like he wanted another look at something he found and make sure the results are accurate. Sometimes lab tests give a false positive.

Best wishes.

Thanks alot

Pls this replaces my former question:

"Hello everyone, I am on K3

I was at Kamorass for collection of my medical result but the Doctor took my blood sample the Second time for more test.

He metioned something like immunity level.

The Matron(I guess she is-white woman) advised me to go for the interview WITHOUT a result if it is not ready untill my interview date, She further told me to come back later for collection after my visa interview.

Is it proper to attend visa interview without medical report on hand?

What is your view of this?

Have you had a similar experience?

Thanks alot."

If you attend without the medical report 2 things can happen: they will reschedule the interview or give you the interview and hold off on a decision until you send in the medical report.

"Immunity" makes me think of titers. Maybe they were checking to see if you had been vaccinated against something and the results weren't clear. Thats my best guess.

If you have the interview before the results are back then go anyway as suggested. They can have the approval pending upon receiving the results.

It is up to them to interview him or reschedule him.

It is hard to guess with the vague words of ' immunity level '. Could be as reeses suggested. But usually the titre is only tested if requested before

immunization to verify that the titre is high enough from a previous injection and to avoid a needless second injection.

I don't know if your embassy doctor checks the titre upon your medical history of immunizations or automatically.

Ours do not unless it is requested, they just jab you no matter how many times you had it done before.

For example, has he asked you if you ever had the chicken pox ? Did you say you are not sure ? Then it would be a reason to check the titre, meaning your immunity level to see if you indeed had them or not.

Our panel physician in Dakar has no varicella ( chicken pox ) injection and it has to be done here. I don't know if it is available with your doctor.

We would need more detailed info to make a good guess.

Oh yes, my husband had the same thing happen at Kamoras clicnic. It was really scarry. Results came back ok the second time though.

Don't worry too much about it. They probably just want to be sure. Also, were you ill at the time they drew blood? That can cause come inconsistencies.

It is probably just a formality, don't sweat it!

Yes in this case you can go to the interview,without the medical result, just let them know what happened. However, they will want you to bring it or make an apointment to bring it prior to the release of a visa. This is my experience.

Best Wishes and good luck on your interview.

You know what?! You really realy calm my nerves.

I was actually worried initially, i am stable now.

Your guess is close. I was constipated two weeks b/4 the test. I treated myself NATURALLY with kinds of fruit. My digestion is fine, now.

That could be the reason.

Thank you so much

Someone help me! I dont know what titers is, pls!

I was vaccinated when i was in Primary School. I am in early 30s now.

Does past vaccination count?

Thanks and may God bless you.

The MD did not ask me any question about chicken pox at all.

Thank you for your contribution.

"A titer is a measurement of the amount or concentration of a substance in a solution. It usually refers to the amount of medicine or antibodies found in a patient's blood."

The clinic's don't make the process any easier, by not specifying what they are doing, and causing people to be, worried for nothing. It can be nerve wracking, but remember many, many others have done the same thing. I even remember one VJer who's husband got a false positive HIV result, because he had malaria at the time of the test.
