Abstract

Worm infections often caused by worms transmitted through the soil (Soil-Transmitted Helminths). Types of STH worms include roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura) and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator Americanus). Worms commonly suffered by school-age children with the most aged between 5-14 years. Worms can affect the intake, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food, which can result in loss of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins. Trichuris trichiura and hookworm can cause massive amounts of blood loss and decreased hemoglobin levels. This study aims to determine the relationship of Trichuris trichiura infection with hemoglobin levels in children in the village of East Serang Kilasah, Banten. This research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design with 42 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results of the fecal examination by the Kato-Katz method found 23 children (54.76%) with mild worm levels and 19 children (45.24%) with moderate worm levels. The results of blood tests found 36 children (85.71%) with normal hemoglobin levels and six children (14.79%) with low hemoglobin levels. Based on the results of statistical tests, the results obtained P-value 0.004 (P-value

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The diagnosis of pulmonary TB in general still relies on microscopic examination with a sputum smear for Acid Fast Basil (AFB). Microscopic examination to detect M. tuberculosis has high specificity, but the sensitivity is 35-70%. The sputum culture method is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB but requires a long time, which is 6-8 weeks. In recent years ICT (Immuno Chromatography Test) has been introduced to identify potential and useful TB antigens to help diagnose pulmonary TB. Antigens detected were ESAT-6, CFP-10, CFP-21, and MPT-64. This study aims to compare the results of the examination of specimens of suspect TB sputum with the ICT method and AFB. This study based on observational with analytic design cross-sectional on 56 samples of Stored Biological Material suspects TB that were examined by the AFB method and the ICT method (Cocktail Antigen). Statistical test results Fisher Exact (α = 0.05) showed no difference between microscopic examination of smear sputum and ICT (Cocktail Antigen) TB (p = 1,000). Nevertheless, the use of ICT reagents for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB still needs to be further investigated, especially to find out the exact causes of false positive and false negative reactions.

Abstract

Malaria is an acute and chronic disease. Globally, as many as 247 million positive cases of malaria were reported in 84 malaria-endemic countries. Indonesia is a malaria-endemic country with a total of 443,530 cases with a malaria prevalence of 89% reported from Papua province. This study examined the correlation between Plasmodium sp density platelet count and hemoglobin levels. The type of research used in this study was observational analytics with a cross-sectional study approach design. The sample and population in this study were malaria-positive patients who had their platelet count and hemoglobin levels checked as recorded in the report from Bhayangkara Hospital Tk I Pusdokkes Polri Kramat Jati, Indonesia, namely using medical record data from months January to December a total of 54 samples with data analysis in this study using descriptive univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the Fisher Exact test. This study showed that the density of Plasmodium sp with the number of platelets had a significant result, namely 0.088, which indicates that the density of Plasmodium sp does not affect the platelet count. In contrast, the density of Plasmodium sp with hemoglobin levels had a significant result, namely 0.023, which indicated a lower Hb level of malaria sufferers. The higher the level of Plasmodium density.
