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 or dormant tuberculosis.” People with TB infection do not have symptoms, do not feel sick, and cannot spread the TB germ to others. Some people with TB 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: Manuel has sleeping or inactive tuberculosis, also called TB infection. He will be allowed to travel to the U.S., but during the first 30 days after you get to California you should contact the health department. They will do a TB check-up and make sure things have not changed and help you get treatment to prevent his TB infection from becoming TB disease. Block Text: Treatment for TB infection can be as short as 3 months of medication, which should keep your child from developing TB disease later in life. Bubble Text: Carla: We are so glad to hear that! Will this change our plans to move to California? Dr. Fernandez: Based on his results, he has a TB medical classification of B2. This simply means that he has TB infection, and he is at risk of developing TB disease in the future. This will not prevent you and Manuel from moving to California, but it is important that you contact the local health department when you arrive so he can have another TB checkup.

Immigration Checkup Process for: Things to Know

²

Remember: You will need to go to the health department for your tuberculosis checkup within 30 days of your arrival.

Finding the Health Department:

To find a health department clinic 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 speaks English help you make the first appointment and come with you to that appointment

First Medical Exam in Mexico:

The medical evaluation in Mexico checks to see if your child has any type of tuberculosis (TB). During your child’s checkup they will have blood drawn and potentially have an x-ray done to test for tuberculosis.

Second Medical Evaluation in the United States:

The medical evaluation in the United States makes sure your child does not have future problems with TB. Although your child’s current tests for TB are negative, he or she could still have the infection in their body which could become TB disease.

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 TB 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 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.
