Abstract

Candidiasis is a fungal infection of the skin caused by the Candida fungus. Candida fungi live in the human body as saprophytes which can be in the digestive tract, respiratory tract and vagina of normal or healthy people. Candida infections on the skin between the fingers most often occur when the hands are repeatedly soaked in water for long periods of time, this occurs in housemaids, cooks, vegetable and fish handlers. The aim of this research was to determine whether there was skin candidiasis infection between the fingers of milkfish sorters in Mojolaban Sukoharjo and what species of Candida were found. The research used a descriptive method with the population of milkfish sorting workers taken by purposive sampling based on criteria in accordance with the objectives of the examination which obtained a total of 14 respondents. Data was taken from the results of questionnaires and skin scraping cultures on CHROMagar-Candida media which were then identified macroscopically and microscopically. The results were presented in tabular form and analyzed descriptively, where 3 of 14 skin scraping samples from milkfish sorters in Mojolaban Sukoharjo were found (positive) to be infected with Candida krusei.

Abstract

Residential environments such as orphanages and identical boarding houses have quite high population densities. This makes cottages and orphanages vulnerable and has a high potential for transmission of Pediculus Humanus var. capitis causes the disease Pediculosis capitis. This disease is an indicator of poor personal hygiene and the environment in which one lives. The higher the case of tick infestation, the worse the surrounding community becomes. This study aims to determine the prevalence of cases of pediculosis capitis in Islamic boarding schools and orphanages in the Surakarta.This research uses a descriptive research design with purposive sampling technique. The samples analyzed were the hair and scalp areas of 155 child and adolescent respondents in Islamic boarding schools and orphanages in Surakarta City. The data obtained was carried out by laboratory examination in the form of egg, nymph and adult flea stages as well as questionnaires filled out by respondents using guided interviews in the form of data on respondents' characteristics and personal hygiene status obtained through scoring. The relationship between Personal Hygiene and the incidence of Pediculosis capitis was analyzed using the chi-square test. From the results of research conducted on all respondents who were willing and met the criteria, it was discovered that of the 155 respondents, 59 (38%) were positive for pediculosis capitis and 96 (62%) did not experience pediculosis capitis. Sequentially, the highest cases were found in locations; Laweyan sub-district orphanage (76.7%), city orphanage (60%), Pasar Kliwon Islamic boarding school (36%) and Laweyan orphanage (0%). The personal hygiene status of the respondents in this case was 81% good, while 19% had poor personal hygiene status. In all cases that were found to be positive for pediculosis capitis, all of them were found to be in the egg, nymph and adult stages. The highest characteristics of positive cases were found in respondents with straight hair and longer than shoulder length. From this research, it was concluded that there was a significant relationship between personal hygiene and the cases of pediculosis capitis found. The point prevalence of pediculosis capitis in Islamic boarding schools and orphanages in the city of Surakarta is 38% of cases. As many as 81% of respondents had good personal hygiene status and 19% of respondents had poor personal hygiene.

Abstract

The gold standard for malaria examination is microscopic examination. However, microscopic examination has many shortcomings, namely the difficulty of distinguishing between Plasmodium sp. species when mixed infections occur. Other malaria examinations for screening can be done with RDT. However, it also has shortcomings, namely the minimum number of parasites that can be detected is 100 parasites/ul. Molecular examination is the most sensitive and accurate examination in the diagnosis of malaria. The initial stage of molecular examination is the DNA isolation stage. This DNA isolation is very important in determining the success of molecular examination. Isolation of Plasmodium sp. DNA using blood smear samples is still rarely done and there is no standard procedure for isolating DNA from blood smears. The purpose of this study was to determine whether stored Giemsa blood smears can be used as samples in DNA isolation in malaria cases. The method used in isolation is using the Geneius™ Micro gDNA Kit. The results of the study were that stored Giemsa blood smear samples of Plasmodium vivax for 3 months could be isolated using the Geneius™ Micro gDNA Kit and could be used as DNA templates for amplification with target gene primers.

Abstract

Malaria is a parasitic infectious disease that remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in endemic areas. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential to prevent serious complications. The 10% Giemsa staining method is a rapid technique for microscopic examination of malaria, but the staining time standard needs to be validated for each batch of staining solution used in local laboratories. This study aims to analyze the comparison of malaria blood smear staining results using 10% Giemsa with different staining durations of 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes at Natar Medika Hospital. This research employed a cross-sectional approach with observational analysis of thin blood smears from 15 malaria-positive blood samples. The blood smear evaluation used a scoring system: a score of 0 was given for poor staining results (unclear background, unstained or non-blue cytoplasm, and unstained or non-red nucleus), and a score of 1 for good staining results (clear background, blue cytoplasm, and red nucleus). The results showed that staining for 20 minutes produced the best quality thin blood smears, characterized by a clear background, blue cytoplasm, and red nucleus. Statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant differences between staining durations (p < 0.05). Therefore, staining for 20 minutes using 10% Giemsa is recommended to obtain optimal microscopic results in malaria diagnosis at Natar Medika Hospital.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health issue in many regions, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) are commonly used for malaria detection due to their speed and ease of use, but their diagnostic accuracy, particularly in regions with varying levels of parasitemia, remains a subject of ongoing research. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) for malaria diagnosis at Puskesmas Hanura, Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, by assessing the sensitivity and specificity of the test. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional approach, analyzing blood samples from malaria suspect patients collected between December 2024 and February 2025, with a total sample size of 50 samples. The diagnostic performance of RDT was compared to the gold standard of microscopy using thick and thin blood smears. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the results of both methods. The sensitivity of the RDT was found to be 93.5%, indicating that the test was highly effective in detecting true positive malaria cases, particularly in individuals with high parasitemia. The specificity was 100%, demonstrating that the RDT accurately identified malaria-free individuals with no false positive results. However, the study also identified two false negative cases, suggesting that the RDT's sensitivity could be reduced in cases of low parasitemia. The Rapid Diagnostic Test demonstrated excellent sensitivity and specificity in detecting malaria at Puskesmas Hanura, with no false positive results and a high rate of true positive detection. However, the test showed some limitations in detecting low parasitemia, emphasizing the need for confirmatory diagnostic techniques, such as microscopy or molecular methods, especially in areas with low transmission or mild infections.
