Abstract

Background: Malaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly in endemic regions, is frequently associated with anemia in children. Accurate hemoglobin measurement is crucial for diagnosing anemia, especially in resource-limited settings. This study compares the accuracy of SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer with Hemocue HB301 System for hemoglobin measurement among children in malaria-endemic areas. Objective: To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), pretest odds, post-test odds, and overall accuracy of the SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer compared to the Hemocue HB301 System. Method: This cross-sectional diagnostic study involved 325 children aged 6-18 years in Kualuh Leidong District. Secondary data were obtained from a previous study conducted in August 2024, using a total sampling technique. Result: The mean hemoglobin level measured by SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer (14,22±2,21 mg/dL) was higher than that measured by Hemocue HB301 System (13,45±1,63 mg/dL), with significant difference (p=0,001). The prevalence of anemia detected by SD Biosensor and Hemocue was 12,3% and 11,4%, respectively. The SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer demonstrated a sensitivity of 70,27%, specificity of 95,14%, PPV of 65%, NPV of 96,14% and an overall accuracy of 92,31%. Conclusion: The SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer exhibited relatively low sensitivity but high specificity compared to Hemocue HB301 System in measuring hemoglobin levels among children in malaria-endemic areas. Further research is needed to compare both devices against the gold-standard automated hematology analyzer and to identify the factors influencing measurement accuracy. Keywords: Anemia, Hemocue HB301 System, Hemoglobin, Malaria, SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer

Abstract

Background. Dengue remains an endemic disease in almost all countries worldwide, including Indonesia. One approach to its prevention and control is community empowerment through education. Education is most impactful when aligned with the culture and local wisdom of the target community. Poda na lima is a form of local wisdom practiced by the Batak Angkola-Mandailing tribe in North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effect of poda na lima-based education on community knowledge regarding dengue prevention. Methods. Quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest. This study involved 68 respondents from the community in the working area of Puskesmas Sihepeng, Mandailing Natal Regency, through cluster random sampling with inclusion criteria in October – November 2024. Data were collected using questionnaires before and after the dengue education intervention with poda na lima and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test with the SPSS software. Result. Most of the respondents were in the age range of 19 – 45 years (80.9%), with a female gender (100%) and an education level of high school graduate (39.7%). There was an increase in the average knowledge before and after dengue education with the poda na lima, with statistically significant results (p<0.05) and an effect size > 0.5, meaning that the dengue education with the poda na lima has a large effect on the improve in knowledge. Conclusion. Dengue education with local wisdom poda na lima has a significant and large effect on improving community knowledge.

Abstract

The Indonesian Ministry of Health targets to eliminate malaria by 2030. Vivax malaria, a challenging variant to eradicate, is prevalent in areas near elimination, including North Sumatra, which ranks fourth in malaria cases in Indonesia. Labura district, a part of North Sumatra, had a low-endemic status until 2020. However, an increase in cases occurred in 2021 within the Kualuh Leidong subdistrict, the primary contributor to Labura's malaria cases. This shifted the endemicity status from low to moderate. The objective of the study is to assess the malaria case profile in this region. A descriptive approach was used, employing a total sampling method at Tanjung Leidong Health Center between September 2022 and July 2023. This observational study identified 494 vivax malaria cases. Predominantly affecting males (60.9%), cases peaked in adults (>18 years) with 314 cases (63.6%). Microscopic examination was the leading diagnostic tool, used in 463 cases (93.7%). The health center primarily administered national regimen therapies dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHP) + primaquine in 204 cases (62.4%), whereas others received alternate therapies. All patients recovered without referrals. Over 11 months, seven recurrence cases emerged, with five receiving quinine+primaquine. Vivax malaria cases in Kualuh Leidong have seen a significant increase compared to previous years. The attention and collaboration of all parties, both from the health center and the community, are necessary to achieve malaria elimination by 2030.

Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is one of the most common causes of neonatal death in the first month of life. Neonatal sepsis often shows atypical clinical features include temperature instability, lethargy, skin changes, feeding problems, and many others. Isolation of bacteria from the culture is the gold standard for diagnosing sepsis, but this approach is frequently time-consuming and even in cases of negative blood cultures, sepsis cannot be conclusively ruled out, posing a major challenge in its diagnosis and management. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to improve the prognosis of neonatal sepsis. Aim: The aim of this study is to discuss how infection markers can aid in the early identification of neonatal sepsis and what are the best infection markers to predict neonatal sepsis mortality. Method: This study assessed the diagnostic accuracies of infection marker used in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Included studies were retrieved by searching three major databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct) using MeSH words and relevant references, and reviewed based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The article discusses potential advancements and future prospects for biomarkers. An excellent marker can guide antibiotic administration and duration if sepsis is confirmed, reducing unnecessary use. The marker should have high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy.

Abstract

Antibiotics have been overused, the unwise use of antibiotics has become a special concern and has led to resistance. Almost 50% of antibiotic therapy is initiated inappropriately and without correct identification of the etiological agent. The high number of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions contributes to the occurrence of antibiotic resistance and increased risk of death. MDR pathogens result in a 40% increase in mortality in hospital-acquired infections. The purpose of this study was to discuss the pattern of the resistance of antibiotic therapy in pediatric patients admitted to the PICU. Method: The search strategy was conducted through three databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct) which published during 2015-2025, using MeSH words “Antibiotic Resistance” AND “Pediatric intensive care unit”. There were thousand studies found, then by using the PRISMA flowchart, which total ten studies were included. PICU has a higher ratio of pathogen composition and bacterial resistance. Many factors can lead to antibiotic resistance, it might be caused by unnecessary or suboptimal prescribed antibiotic therapy from community before, previous health care and the hospital itself. The high number of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions contributes to the occurrence of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance can lead to longer hospital stays and increased risk of mortality.

Abstract

Introduction : Intestinal parasite infections are a major health problem in developing countries, especially in children often causing mortality and morbidity.The main cause of intestinal parasite infection is a soil-borne worm called soil-transmitted helminths (STH), the roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), the whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) and the hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus). Strategy recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) to control it was first focused on school aged children, now preschool-aged children also become one of the high-risk populations of the disease. Therefore it is important to know the risk factors of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in pre-school children.
