If your chest xray shows signs of TB they will require a sputem test. No additional charge. Not much you can do to prevent it. Heard some peeps say drinking milk helps. I myself can see how it could but who knows.

SPUTUM CULTURE is a diagnostic test used to detect and identify the pretense of bacteria or fungi with in the lungs or airways.and also it will be collection involves the patient coughing deeply to expel the sputum,if the patient is unable to cough deeply enoughto expel a sufficient sample,a suction tube or needle maybe used to collect the sputum sample.

and it is place in 9 sterile container containing a substance that promote bacterial and fungal growth,however if no bacteria or fungi grows,the test is considered to be negative.

as what i observed during my medical last week,it's alot who undergo SPUTUM,its hurts to accept,but we knows that u.s.embassy doesn't allow us to go interview as soon as were positive in X-RAY.

because this is transferable disease, but also curable as soon as you follow your doctor advice and everything will be ok.but of course for me,it's very worse waiting 2 months and if you positive you need to have 6 months medications here in the philippines. and x-ray again and if everything is okay you can proceed to interview.
