Abstract

Hepatitis B infection remains a global health problem with long-term complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Alcohol consumption is known to impair immune function and exacerbate hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Fishermen represent a high-risk occupational group due to alcohol consumption habits and limited healthcare access. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between alcohol consumption levels and hepatitis B infection status through HBsAg testing and lymphocyte count among fishermen. This was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach involving 40 fishermen in Gresik Regency. Data were collected through alcohol consumption questionnaires and laboratory tests, including HBsAg examination using a Rapid Test and lymphocyte count using a hematology analyzer. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and ANOVA tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. A total of 30% of respondents were HBsAg reactive, with the highest proportion found in the heavy alcohol consumption group (50%). The mean lymphocyte count decreased with increasing alcohol intake: 2.580 ± 420 cells/µL in the light group, 2.120 ± 390 cells/µL in the moderate group, and 1.780 ± 360 cells/µL in the heavy group (p = 0.012). There was a significant relationship between alcohol consumption level, HBsAg status, and lymphocyte count among fishermen. High alcohol consumption may reduce cellular immunity and increase the risk of persistent hepatitis B infection. HBsAg testing and lymphocyte count can serve as early indicators for health screening in high-risk occupational groups such as fishermen.

Abstract

Superficial fungal infections remain a significant public health concern in tropical countries, including Indonesia. High humidity, intense physical activity, and inadequate personal hygiene increase the risk of fungal colonization on the skin, particularly in the interdigital spaces of the hands. Community education integrated with laboratory examination represents an effective preventive strategy to improve public awareness while enabling early detection of fungal colonization. This community service program aimed to improve participants' knowledge regarding the prevention of superficial fungal infections and to identify fungal colonization through interdigital hand swab examination. The activity was conducted at Yonif Kodam V/Brawijaya, Surabaya, in collaboration with the Bonek Bonita Surabaya community, involving 25 participants. Health education was delivered through interactive lectures and discussions covering risk factors, transmission, clinical manifestations, and preventive measures. Laboratory examination was performed using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) culture followed by microscopic identification using 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation and Lactophenol Cotton Blue (LPCB) staining. Laboratory findings demonstrated fungal growth in 7 participants (28%), whereas 18 participants (72%) showed negative culture results. The isolated fungi were identified as Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp.. The educational intervention successfully enhanced participants' understanding of proper hand hygiene and the importance of early laboratory detection of superficial fungal infections. This collaborative program demonstrates that laboratory-based community education can serve as an effective model for promoting early detection and prevention of superficial fungal infections.

Abstract

Pekerja Migran Indonesia yang bekerja pada sektor kontruksi, perkebunan dan perindustrian merupakan kelompok rentan terhadap infeksi jamur kulit. Kondisi kaki yang lembap, kebersihan diri yang kurang optimal serta penggunaan alas kaki yang tidak memadai menjadi faktor utama terhadap munculnya infeksi jamur pada sela jari kaki. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu mengetahui jenis jamur penyebab infeksi kulit di sela jari kaki, memberikan edukasi tentang kebersihan kulit dan pencegahan terhadap infeksi jamur, serta rekomendasi penanganan awal untuk mengurangi angka kejadian infeksi jamur. Pengabdian ini dilakukan dari bulan Agustus sampai dengan September 2024. Metode yang dilakukan pada kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu metode koordinasi dengan penanggung jawab setempat, penyampaian rencana kegiatan secara langsung kepada peserta, serta pelaksaan pemeriksaan swab sela jari kaki. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu dari 26 swab sela jari kaki PMI, yang terinfeksi yeast sebanyak 16 orang (61.5%), Aspergillus niger 7 orang (27%), Aspergillus fumigatus 2 orang (7.7%), Mallasezia furfur 1 orang (3.8%). Kesimpulan dari hasil kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu kondisi lingkungan yang lembap dan hangat, serta didukung dari jenis pekerjaan dari para PMI yang bervariasi mengharuskan untuk selalu menggunakan penutup kaki, menjadikan tingkat infeksi jamur kulit tinggi. Langkah pencegahan yang efektif terhadap infeksi jamur kulit kaki dengan edukasi mengenai kebersihan kaki dan kontrol lingkungan

Abstract

The rise in food poisoning incidents lately has made researchers want to know if there is bacterial contamination in kilo snacks which are always the top choice for serving and serving at certain events such as celebrations, recitations, thanksgiving, weddings, and other events because the prices are cheaper and the taste is better. not inferior to packaged snacks. Many places selling kilo snacks are found in traditional markets which generally have low environmental conditions of air circulation and high humidity, so they can become breeding grounds for harmful microbes, one of which is bacteria that can pollute the environment and reduce the cleanliness of indoor air. The aim is to find out the bacterial contamination of kilo snacks sold in traditional markets. The population in this study was a total of 5 types of kilo snacks in traditional markets. The sample in this study were 30 samples of 5 types of kilo snacks were tested using the Total Plate Number method. No samples of kilo snacks were found that did not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). Kilo snacks sold in traditional markets meet the requirements of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) Number 7388 of 2009
