Abstract

Background: Otomycosis is a challenge in the medical field, because it requires long-term treatment and follow-up and has a high recurrence rate. In the administration of otomycosis therapy, there are various problems, such as the occurrence of resistance, difficulty in drug application, and requires a long period of time for management. Therefore, choosing the right treatment regimen is very important, so as to reduce the level of resistance caused by the fungus that causes otomycosis. Purpose: To compare the sensitivity of 1% clotrimazole cream and 2% acetic acid solution to fungal isolates of otomycosis patients. Method: This study used true experimental design in vitro with post-test only control group design. Sampling was done by total sampling method during the August-November 20215. Eleven samples were obtained and tested on 3 treatment groups with repetition 3 times, so there was a total of 33 specimens studied. Result: The statistical calculations with the Kruskal-Wallis test from 11 samples tested, obtained a p value < 0.05 which indicated that there was a significant difference in the sensitivity of 1% clotrimazole cream and 2% acetic acid solution. Conclusion: The sensitivity of 1% clotrimazole cream and 2% acetic acid solution has a significant difference on fungal isolates of otomycosis patients

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global public health problem, mainly affecting the lungs. Many factors are associated with the successful treatment of pulmonary TB patients. This study aims to analyze factors affecting the successful treatment of pulmonary TB at Stabat Health Center, Langkat District. Method: This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted from October 2024 to January 2025 at Stabat Health Center. All pulmonary TB patients diagnosed between 2022 and 2023 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included using a total sampling approach. Data were collected from the Tuberculosis Information System and analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results: The treatment success was significantly associated with comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) and distance to health facility (p=0.003; OR=7.01 and p=0.022; OR=4.44, consecutively). In contrast, age, sex, occupation, comorbid HIV infection, and treatment status did not show a statistically significant association with treatment outcomes. Conclusion: Comorbid DM had the greatest effect on the success of pulmonary TB treatment at Stabat Health Center. TB patients with these comorbidities need special attention. Further research is needed to analyze other potential factors.
