They will test the baby if there is reason to suspect that s/he has been exposed to TB or Primary Complex. Does the baby live in the same residence as your 8-year-old nephew?

Does a below 2 years old baby need to have a tuberculin test? Thanks in advance.

Yes, he's my son. The reason im asking about the tuberculin test for baby is because i read in other immigration forum that below 2 years old baby dont need to have this test.

Oh BTW, my nephew is cleared from TB. They went to his pedia this morning and the dr. said that he's okay but he has a scar in his lungs which is a good sign that his immune system is fighting the disease.. Am just hoping that his tuberculin test in SLMC at the time of their medical turns negative.

Can the pedia do a skin test on your nephew just to be sure? You don't want any surprises.

Not sure how to answer that...you may want to post a new topic on it in the proper forum. In my mind, as long as wala kang sakit na nakakahawa or nakamamatay (if you have no communicable disease or you are not terminal), you should pass the medical. Do you have medical records that would support the fact that you have a clean bill of health or a good prognosis in spite of your history of congenital heart disease? You should have those ready for the medical examination.

You may want to see a doctor yourself just to make sure everything is in order, and you have a current medical record in hand when you proceed with your medical, which is 3 to 4 months down the road.

Do you suspect something is wrong? Or are you just trying to be careful?

i have a hole in my heart, (atrial septal defect) and in the xray they can see that i have a heart enlargement.

With regards to my check up, i plan to see my cardiologist next week for she is out of the country right now.
