Abstract

Background: Hydrocephalus is the most frequent neurological complication in children with tuberculous meningitis. Tuberculosis infection cannot be separated from nutritional status. Children with undernutrition have decreased immunity thus could affect clinical manifestation of tuberculous meningitis. This study was conducted to identify the relationship between undernutrition and the prevalence of hydrocephalus in tuberculous meningitis.Methods: An analytic observational study was carried out to 38 medical records of children with tuberculous meningitis in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from 2007 to 2015. Variables that were studied included gender, age, advanced stage of disease, motoric paralysis, history of seizure, nutritional status and hydrocephalus. The collected data were analyzed using Chi-Square test. Results: Out of 21 subjects with undernutrition, 11 subjects were found to have hydrocephalus. The analysis using chi-square was statistically significant (p=0.009). Prevalence ratio=4.45 (CI 95% 1.14−45.43), meaning tuberculous meningitis children with undernutrition were at risk of hydrocephalus 4.45 times greater than children with normal nutritional status.Conclusions: Undernutrition may increase the risk of hydrocephalus in children with tuberculous meningitis.

Abstract

Background: Febrile seizures frequently occur in children under 5 years old and usually create fear and anxiety among parents. Poor understanding of febrile seizure among parents contributes to mismanagement of seizure. The objective of this study was to identify the knowledge and attitude on febrile seizure among mothers of under five children.Methods: This descriptive community-based survey comprised of 96 mothers with under 5 children who were chosen through randomization. This survey was, conducted in Hegarmanah Village, Jatinangor, West Java, Indonesia in October 2013. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency analysis.Results: Fifty nine respondents (61%) considered that high fever in their children will result in seizure and 63 mothers (65%) stated that this condition was a life-threatening situation which could lead to brain damage (50%) and paralysis (50%). There were some respondents who would manage seizure by shaking (27%) or holding the child tightly during seizure (22%) and putting spoon into the children mouth (59%). Sixty respondents (62.5%) prevented febrile seizure by giving them coffee.Conclusions: Knowledge and attitude regarding febrile seizure is good, but the knowledge and attitude towards the outcome and what to do during febrile seizures occasion are still poor.

Abstract

Background: Nearly one-third of febrile seizure patients suffered recurrent febrile seizures.  Several risk factors contribute to this recurrence, namely young age, family history of febrile seizures, low body temperature and rapid duration of fever before onset of seizures. Recently, the types of seizure and gender have been stated increasing risk of this recurrence. The objectives of this study was to identify the  risk factors of recurrent febrile seizures.Methods: A descriptive study was carried out by retrieving data from inpatient medical records during the period of January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2013 at one of the top referral hospitals in West Java, Indonesia.  Variables of this study were the first febrile seizure age, gender, type of febrile seizure, a family history of febrile seizure, a family history of epilepsy, body temperature when febrile seizure occurred and duration of fever before onset of seizure. The collected data were tabulated by frequency and percentage and displayed in tables.Results: Out of 154 patients with febrile seizures 58 suffered recurrent febrile seizures. Forty three percent had a first febrile seizure at the age of under12 months, 72% were male, 46% had fever less than 24 hours before the onset of seizure, 65% had complex febrile seizures, 28% had positive family history of febrile seizures, and 5% had positive family history of epilepsy. Conclusions: The risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures are young age, male, rapid duration of fever before onset of seizure and complex febrile seizure. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n2.1086

Abstract

Background In developed countries, birth weight of less than1,500 g contributes in infant delayed development. It might bedifferent in developing countries.Objective This study aimed to determine whether preterm infantswith birth weight of 1,500 to 2,499 g are risk factors for delayeddevelopment at 7-10 months of age.Methods We analyzed singleton infants at 7-10 months ofcorrected age, born with birth weight of 1,500 to 2,499 grams,preterm-appropriate for gestational age (or LBW group), and at7-10 months of chronological age, born with birth weight >2,500g-term-appropriate for gestational (non-LBW group) in a hospital-based retrospective cohort study. Data were taken from medicalrecords in Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, from September2003 to May 2004. We excluded infants with major congenitalanomalies, hyaline membrane disease, assisted ventilation, orexchange transfusion. Multiple regression logistic analysis wasperformed for data analysis.Results The percentage of delayed development in LBW groupwas higher than in non-LBW group (17.1% vs. 1.6%). Logisticregression analysis revealed that low birth weight was a risk factorfor delayed development (RR=5.13, 95%Cl 1.55;16.96, P=0.007).Other biological risk factors for delayed development arehyperbilirubinemia (RR=3.32, 95%Cl 1.29;8.54, P=0.013) andsepsis (RR=2.74, 95%Cl 1.15;6.52, P=0.023).Conclusions Preterm-appropriate for gestational age with birthweight of 1,500 to 2,499 g are risk factors for infant delayeddevelopment after being adjusted to other biological risk factors.
