Abstract

Background: The intensity of Mycobacterium leprae exposure to people who live in leprosy endemic area could be measured by serological study and detection of the bacilli in the nose cavity. Different geographical altitude might have some influences to this exposure since the bacilli prefer to live in warm areas. Aim: A combined serological and PCR study of leprosy was conducted in Selayar island, South Sulawesi to 80 school children (40 from low land and 40 from highland altitudes) in order to compare the exposure intensity between the two areas. Method: Anti PGL-1 IgM antibody (ELISA) and PCR study to detect M.leprae in the nasal cavity were performed simultaneously from each person. Result: Seropositive cases were found in 23/40 children from low land compared to 16/40 children from high land, but statistically no significant difference (p>0.05). PCR positive for M.leprae in the nasal cavity only found in 1/40 children, both in low and high altitude. Conclusion: It is concluded that although the existence of M.leprae in nasal cavity is minimal, the intensity of exposure to this bacilli still high as indicated by serological study.

Abstract

Infeksi cacing melalui kemampuannya memacu proliferasi sel T regulator dilaporkan dapat mempengaruhi manifestasi klinik dari alergi. Selain Interleukin (IL)-10, Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β merupakan sitokin yang di lepaskan oleh sel T regulator. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh infeksi cacing terhadap kejadian dermatitis atopik (DA) melalui TGF-β. Penelitian ini dilakukan di beberapa rumah sakit pendidikan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Hasanuddin. Dermatitis atopik (DA) didiagnosis dengan menggunakan kriteria William, ada dan beratnya infeksi cacing diperiksa dengan metode Kato Katz dan kadar TGF-β serum diukur menggunakan metode ELISA.  Sebanyak 80 anak usia 2-7 tahun berpartisipasi pada penelitian ini. Partisipan dibagi menjadi kelompok DA (30 anak) dan non-DA (50 anak). Persentasi infeksi cacing adalah 21,2% (17/80) dengan intensitas infeksi yang ringan. Infeksi cacing tidak mempengaruhi kadar TGF-β, demikian juga infeksi cacing serta kadar TGF-β tidak mempengaruhi kejadian DA. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa infeksi cacing dengan intensitas ringan tidak mempengaruhi kadar TGF-β maupun kejadian DA pada anak di Makassar.Kata Kunci: Dermatitis atopik, infeksicacing, TGF-β

Abstract

Introduction: Tihi-tihi and Selangan Islands, floating village areas in Bontang, East Kalimantan, are remote areas in Indonesia, which can only be accessed by sea route. The research was conducted to describe skin diseases in those islands. Method: Retrospective observational cross-sectional and descriptive analysis study on floating communities in Tihi-tihi and Selangan Island, Bontang Lestari Village, South Bontang District, Bontang City, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Results: The study was conducted on 95 subjects, mostly female (53%), and the largest age group was 26-45 years (29%), followed by the 5-11 years group (24%). Skin infection diseases (58.96%) were dominated by scabies (67.9% of the skin infection disease group). The second highest was allergic contact dermatitis (41%) from the non-infection group. There is an association between age and disease group (p<0.05), with an odds ratio of 3.164. Conclusion: Skin diseases in Tihi-tihi and Selangan Islands are dominated by scabies, followed by allergic contact dermatitis. The pediatric age group is at a three-fold greater risk of developing skin infections than non-infection skin diseases.
