I have history of tuberculosis, will i still be accepted to graduate study in UK?

Question:I was diagnosed with minimal PTB two yrs ago, I had taken six months of treatment and was declared healed by my doctor but scars can still be seen in my chest xray. I graduated with honors in my undergraduate and i think have a good chance of being accepted if academic performance will only be the basis. Can i still go for my dream of UK education despite my medical problem?

Answers:
TB is a growing problem. The authorities are getting worried about it because TB is becoming drug resistant and posses a serious financial burden on society, since it doesn't kill people quickly and they need expensive long term care.

That said, you don't have a problem do you? You are cured. You can be tested and are TB free, right? So get the documentation you need to prove it, and go on from there.

Don't base your actions on fear. Anyone can get TB. If you are cured, then you are cured. It is not a genetic or mental disorder that will re-occur.

Go for it.

:-) Good Luck
Absolutely NO problem. Go for it!
The medical history and condition you have described will not keep you out of a UK university. However, TB is more common there than in the US, and I wonder if that is the best climate for you. It seems to me you would be better off living where it is dry.
