Abstract

Background: Diarrhea and pneumonia accounts for an estimated 40% of all child deaths around the world each year. Handwashing with soap could protect about 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhea and almost 1 out of 6 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia. Although people around the world clean their hands with water, very few use soap to wash their hands. Washing hands with soap removes germs much more effectively. This study was undertaken to determine the level of knowledge and practice regarding proper handwashing among elementary school children.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted from August to October 2014 in Jatinangor using primary data from respondents who are 5th graders from four schools. A total of 49 males and 50 females were chosen using cluster random sampling. Schoolchildren who were present, able and well were given questionnaires after written informed consent was obtained from the schoolchildren and their guardians. Then, respondents demonstrated hand-washing techniques which were evaluated using a checklist.Results: Overall, 52% of the schoolchildren had moderate level of hand washing knowledge and 66% had bad handwashing practices.Conclusions: Despite having a moderate level of handwashing knowledge, the majority still had poor handwashing practices. Handwashing programs should be carried out extensively to improve knowledge and practice.[AMJ.2016;3(2):170–4]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n2.795

Abstract

Background: Acute rhinosinusitis that usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae becomes the reason why patients seek for medical care. Drugs resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae is increasing worldwide. This study was conducted to determine drugs resistance of Streptococcus pneumonia from acute rhinosinusitis in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: A descriptive laboratory study was conducted in June–October 2014 at the Laboratory of Microbiology Faculty of Medicine Universitas Padjadjaran. The sample was taken using nasopharyngeal swabbing from 100 acute rhinosinusitis patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital and planted on tryptic soy agar containing 5% sheep blood and 5 μg/ml of gentamicin sulphate and then incubated in 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C for 24 hours. The identification of Streptococcus pneumonia was performed by optochin test. The susceptibility test against Streptococcus pneumoniae was done using disk diffusion method.The antibiotic disks were trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, oxacillin, levofloxacin, azithromycin, and doxycycline.Results: Out of 100 samples, 8 of them were tested positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae. Three of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates died with unknown reason after it were stored at -80 .The drugs resistance test showed the resistance of Streptococcus pneumonia to oxacillin, azithromycin and trimethoprim were 6, whereas levofloxacin and doxycycline are 4.Conclusions: Streptococcus pneumonia drugs resistance in acute rhinosinusitis shows the resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to oxacillin, azithromycin and trimethoprim are 6, whereas the resistance to levofloxacin and doxycycline are 4.

Abstract

Background: Diagnosis of tuberculosis in children is very difficult. Scoring system is used to diagnose tuberculosis in children in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to determine the application of scoring system components in children diagnosed with tuberculosis in the primary health care.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in  Jatinangor Primary Health Care, Sumedang in September–October 2013. Data were obtained from 59 medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2010–2012, and recorded on the application of scoring system components including tuberculosis contact history, tuberculin skin test, fever, cough, nutritional status, lymph node enlargement, swelling of bones or joints, and chest X-ray. Results: All scoring system components either with tuberculosis contact history, fever, cough, nutritional status, lymph node enlargement, swelling of bones or joints, and chest X-ray were performed on all of the children diagnosed with tuberculosis, except the tuberculin skin test was performed only on 38 (64%) children. Most frequent clinical symptoms were cough (97%), while fever and malnutrition occurred in 69% and 19% of children, respectively.Conclusions: The application of scoring system components in children diagnosed with tuberculosis in Jatinangor primary health care is not having problems, except for the tuberculosis skin test. Most frequent clinical symptoms of childhood tuberculosis in this study are cough.

Abstract

The hijau (Camellia sinensis) memiliki beragam efek farmakologik, di antaranya sebagai antibakteri. Salmonella typhi penyebab demam tifoid, masih merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di negara tropis terdapat 20 juta kasus dan 600.000 kematian per tahun di seluruh dunia. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui daya antibakteri dan lamanya waktu kontak infusa teh hijau dari berbagai merek kemasan terhadap Salmonella typhi secara in vitro dengan menggunakan teknik difusi sumur, selanjutnya data dianalisis dengan ANAVA dan uji t-independen. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Mikrobiologi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung pada bulan Maret-April 2009. Hasil menunjukkan infusa dengan konsentrasi 40% (b/v) kemasan komersial Indonesia memberikan rata-rata diameter daerah hambat 3,376±0,334 mm dan 3,571± 0,217 mm pada kemasan Jepang (p<0,05); 0,707±0,000 mm pada konsentrasi di bawah 40% rata-rata daerah hambat.

Abstract

Introduction. Candida sp. is a fungus that lives as a commensal in human body, but may cause infection upon immune suppression. The decrease in immunity due to TB infection and long-term use of antibiotics in TB patients may increase the risk of the Candida sp. colonization in patient. Data regarding the prevalence of Candida sp. colonization in TB patients and its impact has not been widely reported. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of presumptive drug-resistance TB patients with Candida sp. colonization. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from a previous study in 2018 at the DR-TB clinic in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia. Patients who were included in the study were aged 18 years or above, presented with pulmonary TB symptoms, and had minimum 5 months of TB treatment history. Candida sp. growth on sputum was examined by culture on CHROMagar® media. Results. One hundred and twenty-two patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The prevalence of Candida sp. colonization in presumptive drug-resistance TB patients was 54.9%. The species found were mostly Candida albicans (71.6%), Candida glabrata and Candida parapsilosis (14.9%), and Candida tropicalis (5.9%). The predominant symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis included a persistent cough lasting two weeks or longer and productive cough (100%), while the most frequently observed abnormalities on radiological scans were nodules and patchy lesions (98.5%). There were no significant differences between patients with positive and negative Candida sp. colonization. Conclusions. More than 50% of presumptive drug-resistant TB patients at the MDR-TB clinic in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital had positive results of Candida sp. culture on their sputum. The most common clinical manifestations were coughing for 2 weeks or more, productive cough, hemoptysis, fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, night sweats, weight loss, and reduced appetite. Future studies should be conducted to determine the long-term outcome of fungal colonization in these patients.
