Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a parasitic infection caused by the parasite Pediculus humanus var. capitis, which commonly found in densely crowded areas such as boarding schools. It is possible to contract pediculosis capitis by coming into direct or indirect contact with sufferers' hair. The goal of this study was to assess the prevalence of pediculosis capitis in students at Pondok Pesantren Subulussalam Palembang, as well as the association between the use of shared goods and the occurrence of pediculosis capitis. This study is a cross-sectional observational analytic study including 116 students who live permanently in Pondok Pesantren Subulussalam Palembang. A questionnaire was used to collect data, as well as direct observation of hair samples. The Chi-Square test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression were used to examine the results. The findings revealed that 35.3% of people had pediculosis capitis, and that there was a significant association between the use of mattresses (p=0.007), combs (p=0.024), and shared veils (p=0.006) and the occurrence of pediculosis capitis. The use of combs (p=0.018) and shared veils (p=0.001) were the most influential variables on the occurrence of pediculosis capitis, according to the results of the logistic regression test. The spread of pediculosis capitis disease is predicted to be reduced and prevented with improved personal hygiene, environment sanitation, and treatment.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is an endemic parasitosis affecting many countries of the world. A total of 5318 elementary schoolchildren, aged 8 –16 years, were examined for the presence of Pediculus capitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of head lice infestation in Palembang City. This research is a quantitative research with cross sectional research design. This research was conducted at the Palembang City Orphanage.. This research took place from July to September 2021. The research population was taken from orphanage children in 16 orphanages from 12 sub-districts in the city of Palembang as many as 3.823 peoples. The sample of this research is 300 people. The sampling technique in this study was by random sampling. Data collection using a questionnaire. Data analysis with chi-square test. The results of the research are the Prevalence of Pediculosis Capitis at Orphanages in Palembang City, South Sumatera (Indonesia) from 300 peoples found that the prevalence rate in urban areas (n=155) the highest number of sufferers was found in the Sako sub-district with 18 people (11.6%) and in rural areas (n=145) the number of sufferers was found in 2 research locations, namely in Indralaya 1 as many as 36 people (24.8%) and East Baturaja as many as 40 people (27.6%). Factors associated with Pediculosis Capitis at Orphanages in Palembang City, South Sumatra (Indonesia), namely such as children’s health care (p-value=0.046), use of tools together p-value=0.004), children living with parents (p-value= ≤ 0.001), past infestation of fleas (p-value=0.027), lighting conditions of residential space (p-value=0.005) , teacher health education in schools (p-value=0.007), using general items (p-value=≤ 0.001), room conditions per student (p-value=0.028), and number of hairbrushes per day (p-value=0.016). Based on these results, it is suggested to the orphanage to provide socialization or health education as a preventive measure for Pediculosis capitis in order to increase knowledge and quality of personal hygiene in the orphanage by changing the attitude of each individual, especially children. Keywords: Pediculosis capitis, Hair lice infestation

Abstract

Malaria is a significant global health problem with a substantial disease burden worldwide. Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite which is transmitted to humans through the bite of Anopheles. There are five species of Plasmodium that cause malaria in humans, it is known that P. falciparum and P. vivax account for the majority of malaria cases. Currently, the main treatment for malaria is artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in most malaria endemic countries and is effective in reducing malaria-related mortality and morbidity globally. However, the emergence of artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum parasites in the propeller domain of the PfK13 gene from Southeast Asian isolates raises awareness of the emergence of resistance in P. vivax. Mutations in the propeller domain of the PfK13 gene are closely related to the degree of delay in parasite clearance in patients treated with antiretroviral therapy so that the identification of vivax malaria resistance markers is focused on the PvK12 gene or the PfK13 gene from P. falciparum. This study used descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach by reviewing 10 articles that were selected according to the criteria. Article searches were carried out through the ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) sites with the keywords: artemisinin resistance, P. vivax and PvK12 genes. There are 7 articles which show very limited polymorphism in the propeller domain of the PvK12 gene in P. vivax. While the other 3 articles did not show any PvK12 gene polymorphisms. Continued monitoring of clinical drug efficacy and molecular markers is necessary to alert against vivax malaria drug resistance and achieve malaria elimination status

Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) intestinal nematodes hich is still a health problem in Indonesia. This disease could occur due to various factors, such as the habit of not washing the fruit before consumption. Consumption of fruits helps meet nutritional needs to protect the body from various diseases. This research aimed to determine whether there is STH egg contamination in fruits sold at the Jakabaring Central Market. This research was a descriptive-observational study. The fruit sample were collected from Jakabaring Central Market. A total of 50 fruits samples in this study consisted of Citrus sinensis, Cucumis melo, Ananas Comosus, Musa sp., and Citrullus lanatus The sample processing was carried out using the sedimentation method. About 200 grams of fruit skin samples were immersed in 0.2% NaOH. Microscopic observations were made at the Biooptic Laboratory and Medical Chemistry Laboratory of FK Universitas Sriwjaya. A total of 9 (18%) samples were showed positive results of STH contamination, which were 7 samples of pineapple Ananas comosus (14%) and 2 samples of watermelon Citrullus lanatus (4%). From the 9 positive samples, 35 Ascaris lumbricoides infertile-decorticated eggs were found. Thus, contamination of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs in fruits were detected and its non infective stage Jakabaring Central Market Palembang City. Although all eggs found in non infective stage , with sufficient percentage of contamination, improving hygiene before consuming must be considered.
