Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from either insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Candida albicans is a fungus generally found on the surface of the mucous membrane, which usually dominates and overgrows among DM patients. This study aims to identify the presence of the C. albicans fungus on the oral mucosa of individuals with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus at Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. A descriptive study was employed, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 62 patients. Swab samples were cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar medium for Gram staining and carbohydrate assimilation tests. The resulting culture was tested using CHROMagarTM Candida (CAC) media. Among the 62 samples, 56 samples were identified to have a convex colony, a cream-color surface, a smooth texture, and a Gram-positive nature. The carbohydrate assimilation test showed that the indicated samples could ferment glucose and maltose, but not lactose and sucrose. Green colonies are formed through CHROMagarTM Candida differential media testing. There are 56 identification results for C. albicans from oral mucosal swab samples from 62 patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus at the Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, yielding six other patients with negative results.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 has become a global problem causing hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. Haemoglobin is more susceptible to COVID-19 virus attacks. Haemoglobin functions as a carrier of oxygen to organs in the body. When the concentration of haemoglobin in the blood circulation is low, the transport of oxygen to several organs in the body can be disrupted. SARS-CoV-2 interacts with haemoglobin in red blood cells. This interaction causes the virus to break the haemoglobin chain and cause hemolysis. The erythrocyte index which consists of MCV, MCH, and MCHC values ​​is used to indicate the occurrence of anemia in COVID-19 patients. This research method used descriptive analytic with a cross sectional study design. The population of this study was suspected COVID-19 patients with a sample of 27 people. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. This study aims to determine the relationship between haemoglobin examination results and erythrocyte index in suspected COVID-19 patients.The instrument in this study used secondary data which included the results of examination of haemoglobin values ​​and erythrocyte index. The results of the test using a parametric statistical approach with the correlation analysis method showed that there was a correlation between the results of the haemoglobin and MCV test (P-value 0.057 > 0.05), while the haemoglobin and MCH test had no correlation (P value 0.777 > 0.05), and there is no correlation between haemoglobin and MCHC examination (P-value 0.372 > 0.05).
