Before leaving Mexico, they need to visit a doctor to get all the necessary medical evaluations and clearances as part of their pre-immigration check-up. As part of the immigration process, Raquel and Jose are tested for tuberculosis. Raquel finds out that she has an abnormal chest x-ray which indicates that she has tuberculosis germs in her body, and she will need to contact the health department in the United States to follow up and for further medical evaluations.

During your checkup you were asked questions about your health, had a physical examination, and had a lung x-ray. Because your lung x-ray was abnormal, you were asked to give phlegm samples to test for tuberculosis.

Photo Caption: Types of Tuberculosis Block Text: In the United States, tuberculosis is also referred to as “TB.” There are two TB-related conditions that exist: tuberculosis infection and tuberculosis disease. Tuberculosis Infection People with TB infection have tuberculosis germs that are inactive in their body. This is sometimes also known as “sleeping tuberculosis.” People with TB infection do not have symptoms, do not feel sick, and cannot spread the TB germ to others. Some people with tuberculosis infection may get sick and develop TB disease in the future if they don’t get treated. Tuberculosis Disease: TB disease develops from TB infection. TB germs multiply and grow in the body. People with TB disease often have a cough, fever, or other symptoms, but some people can have no symptoms at all. People with active TB disease are able to spread TB germs to people they spend a lot of time with, such as family, friends, and co-workers.

Bubble Text: Dr. Fernandez: Don’t worry, you probably have sleeping or inactive TB, also called TB infection. Treating TB infection is effective and can prevent you from developing TB disease, which can be very serious and can be spread to others around you. Bubble Text: Raquel: I’m so glad to hear that! Will this change my plans to move to the United States? Dr. Fernandez: Probably not, but you will have to wait for the results of your phlegm tests. It takes about 8 weeks to get a final phlegm test result. Even though your chest x-ray is abnormal, it is most likely you have TB infection. This means that once we have your phlegm test results you will be given a TB classification of B1, and you will be able to move to the US. When you get to the U.S., you need to contact the health department. Block Text: If you have TB infection, you are at risk for developing TB disease. That is why it is very important that you get treatment once you are in the US. Treatment for TB infection can be as short as 3 months, which can keep you TB-free. After you get to your destination in the US, you should contact the health department. They will help you get the treatment that’s right for you.

Block Text: If you are notified that there is no TB disease in your phlegm, then you will be given a TB classification of B1 and you will go to the consulate for final immigration review. You will need to provide an address, a phone number and an e-mail of where you can be reached in the United States. The consulate will update your contact information and send it to a health department in the United States, so that they will have your information.

If your address changes after you move to the United States, this web site can help you contact the right place. Block Text: Most TB follow up care will be free or at a low cost. Financial assistance may be available but check with the clinic where you make your appointment. Block Text: Once in the United States, contact the health department during the first 30 days of your arrival to make an appointment. Health departments may not always have Spanish-speaking staff. If possible, have someone whom you trust with your medical information and who speaks English make the first call. The health system in the United States is different from the Mexican health system.

I have a tuberculosis class B1 condition for TB infection. Dr. Smith: Of course! Don’t be scared. I am going to do a few medical tests so that I can recommend the best treatment for you.
Frame 23: Image of Dr. Smith giving Raquel medication.	Bubble Text: Dr. Smith: Your results show that your x-ray hasn’t changed since the one you got in Mexico and that you have TB infection. We are recommending that you take medicine to prevent developing tuberculosis disease in the future. If you develop TB disease, you could spread it through the air to those who are closest to you. This medicine will help keep you and your family healthy. Raquel: Yes, I will be sure to take my medicine. I want to be healthy for myself and not give TB to my son.

Immigration Checkup Process for: Things to Know

²

Remember: You should contact the health department for your tuberculosis checkup within 30 days of your arrival.

Finding the Health Department:

To find your health department go to this website (insert directory web address).

Service Fees at the Local Health Department:

You can ask the health department about the cost of their services. Many health departments offer free or low-cost services.

Spanish Language Services:

Many health departments have staff who speak Spanish, but some do not. If possible, have someone who you trust with your medical information and speaks English help you make the first appointment and come with you to that appointment.

First Medical Exam in Mexico:

The medical exam in Mexico checks to see if you have any type of tuberculosis (TB). During your checkup you will have a chest x-ray. If the chest x-ray is abnormal, you will give mucous phlegm samples to test for tuberculosis.

Second Medical Exam in the United States:

The medical exam in the United States makes sure you do not have future problems with tuberculosis. Even if your immigration exam for TB looked good, you still have the tuberculosis infection in your body, or it could develop into TB disease. It is important that they check your condition when you get to the US to be sure the tuberculosis germ is not growing in your body. The doctor will determine the best treatment plan for you.

The Difference Between Tuberculosis Infection and Tuberculosis Disease:

Not everyone infected with TB becomes sick. There are two TB conditions: TB infection and TB disease. TB infection is sometimes called “sleeping tuberculosis” or “inactive tuberculosis.” Doctors also refer to this as Latent TB Infection or LTBI. People with TB infection do not have symptoms and cannot spread tuberculosis bacteria to others. However, people with TB infection should get treatment to prevent it from turning into TB disease. TB disease is sometimes called “active tuberculosis.” TB disease is when tuberculosis bacteria multiply in your body and cause sickness. People with active TB disease may spread tuberculosis to people they spend time with every day such as friends and family. Symptoms of TB disease include coughing, fever, sweating at night, and weight loss. But some people don’t develop these symptoms until they are in the advanced stage of illness. TB can also occur in other parts of the body like the brain, kidneys and spine.
