Abstract

Factors Related to the Healing Status of Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Puskesmas Perumnas 1 Pontianak2018. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is still a global healthproblem. The healing of patients from TB is important to note because it can harm public health such as providingopportunities for TB disease transmission to family members and the surrounding community, thereby increasing thespread of disease and deaths due to TB. The recovery of TB patients is influenced by several factors such as age, sex, levelof education, knowledge, level of income, access to health services, the role of PMO and treatment compliance. Thisstudy aims to determine the factors associated with the healing status of TB sufferers. This type of research is analyticdescriptive with a cross-sectional design. The instruments used were questionnaires and patient medical records. Datawere obtained by interviewing 106 pulmonary TB patients at their home who had been treated with category 1treatment for 6 months in Perumnas 1 Health Center in Pontianak City. The results of Chi-square test showed that gender(p=0.005), level of education (p=0.002), knowledge (p=0.008), the role of PMO (p=0.001) and medication adherence(p=0.000) are related to the healing status of TB sufferers, while age (p=0.320), income level (p=0.728) and access tohealth services (p=0.141) are not related to the healing status of TB sufferers. Counseling about factors related to TBrecovery is expected to increase the cure rate of TB patients.

Abstract

Background: Diagnosing skin conditions can be challenging in resource-limited settings. Cyanophyceae, or blue-green algae, are found in water bodies worldwide and can lead to harmful algal blooms under specific conditions. East Nusa Tenggara, a province in eastern Indonesia, with its hot, dry climate and pristine waters, creates ideal conditions for these blooms. While dermatitis from Cyanophyceae exposure is rare, the potent biotoxins produced by these algae may cause skin reactions. This case report aimed to describe the dermatitis that was possibly caused by Cyanophyceae. Case description: A 22-year-old male from rural East Nusa Tenggara presented with pruritic papules, pustules, and vesicles on both arms for two days. The lesions began as erythematous papulo-vesicular formations and progressed to oozing and crusting shortly after he cleaned a neglected fish pond with algal blooms. The eruptions were confined to exposed areas of both arms. The patient reported no fever, cough, headache, or throat pain, and other physical findings were normal. After two weeks, the lesions improved significantly with topical mometasone furoate. The patient was educated on proper hand hygiene and avoiding similar allergens. Conclusion: Cyanophyceae can release biotoxins that may cause hypersensitivity reactions on human skin. In addition, the lipopolysaccharides found in their cell walls can also irritate human skin. Skin reactions vary and depend on factors such as individual susceptibility, cyanobacterial profile, toxin types and concentrations, and skin barrier disruption. Cyanophyceae can cause irritation and allergic responses.
