Fibrotic scarring apex as medical disqualification for work permit in Kuwait?

? - A "fibrotic scar" in the apex of the lung may be due to an old, usually inactive exposure to tuberculosis or a fungus infection. Cancer is a much lower possibility. Yes, even though the skin tuberculin test for Tb was negative, it could be old Tb, not presently active. This is common. Still you are subject to whatever the health regulations are in Kuwait or wherever you work even though you are most likely NOT infectious.
