?PPD status: Did you have +PPD? If so, were you adequately treated or did you have Quanteferon Gold test? A Quanteferon Gold test can help confirm if your +PPD or calcific scarring on Chest Xray are related to active Tuberculosis or not. Check with these countries' health departments regarding what they require to confirm you do not have active TB. Take Care!
