Abstract

ABSTRACT Worm infection is one of the health problems in all tropical countries, including Indonesia. The most frequent helminthiasis is the infection caused by the Soil-Transmitted Helminth. Primary school-age children are an age group that is susceptible to helminthiasis. Worm infections can cause a serious impact if left untreated with no clean and healthy lifestyle. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors of STH in children of Manusak Village, East Kupang Subdistrict, Kupang District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, followed by the characterization of subjects. The analytic observational design with the cross-sectional study was applied to this research. Research subjects were 130 children aged 6-12 years old. The infection was diagnosed microscopically by the Katokatz method. Ascaris lumbricoides were the only species found infecting a total of 50 children (38.4%.). The distribution of ascariasis was higher in girls (30 or 23.08%) than in boys (20 or 15.38%), in children whose parents have no formal education (41 or 31.54%), and who their professions are a farmer. Poor hygiene and sanitation such as no washing hands with soap (27 or 20.77%) as well as the habit of not wearing footwear (47 or 36.2%) and bowel habit on the open areas (35 or 26.92%)  are the risks factors causing the high incidence of A. lumbricoides in the studied area. Enlightenment to the parents regarding good personal and environmental hygiene and sanitation along with chemotherapy from the government and related agencies is needed to achieve a durable reduction of the burden of ascariasis and other STH infection. Keywords                   : Soil Transmitted Helminth, Ascaris lumbricoides, children,                                      Kupang DistrictCorrespondence        : heny-a@fk.unair.ac.id

Abstract

ABSTRACTSoil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is the most common intestinal parasite infection in Indonesia. STH infection can interfere with child development and cause cognitive impairment in severe cases.  The school-age group is the most susceptible to STH infection because of direct contact with soil in the school yard. STH infection incidence can be avoided by adequate water, healthy latrines, and good hygiene and can be improved by proper interventions. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) with STH infection in Aru Islands District, Maluku. This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in Elementary Schools in Karangguli and Wokam villages, Aru Islands district, Maluku. One hundred and six stool samples were collected from both villages. The sociodemographic and WASH data were collected using the interview method. Stool samples were collected and examined for STH infection using a direct smear technique on the light microscope. Data statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS program using the Chi-square or Fischer’s Exact test. The examination results showed that 73 students (68.9%) were infected with STH. The bivariate analysis showed that water source (p = 0.000002), defecation place (p = 0.002), and washing hands after defecation (p = 0.048) were all significantly correlated with STH infection. This study concluded that WASH variables which were water source, defecation place, and washing hands after defecation had a significant correlation with STH infection. Keywords: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH); soil-transmitted helminths infection; elementary school students.

Abstract

AbstrakStatus gizi adalah kondisi fisiologis tubuh terkait konsumsi makanan dan penggunaan zat gizi oleh tubuh. Hingga sekarang, masalah gizi masih umum terjadi terutama di negara berkembang. Status gizi pada siswa sekolah dasar penting karena dapat mempengaruhi kognitif dan capaian pembelajaran siswa. Salah satu akar masalah gizi adalah kemiskinan yang terkait dengan sosiodemografi yang meliputi status sosial dan ekonomi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan karakteristik sosiodemografi dan status gizi siswa sekolah dasar di Desa Wokam dan Desa Karangguli, Kabupaten Kepualaun Aru, Maluku. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan cross-sectional dan jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional. Penilaian status gizi menggunakan grafik berat badan terhadap tinggi badan dengan kriteria Waterlow. Data mengenai sosiodemografi dikumpulkan dengan wawancara. Hubungan antara karakteristik sosiodemografi dan status gizi dinilai dengan uji statistik chi-square. Dari 106 sampel, 73 siswa (68,9%) memiliki status gizi normal dan 33 siswa (31,1%) memiliki status gizi kurang. Uji statistik tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara karakteristik sosiodemografi dan status gizi di Desa Wokam dan Karangguli, Kabupaten Kepulauan Aru. Kata kunci  : hubungan, siswa sekolah dasar, sosiodemografi, status gizi AbstractNutritional status is a physiological condition of the body related to food consumption and requirements of the body. Until now, malnutrition is a common problem in developing countries. Nutritional status in school age children is important because it can affect cognitive ability and student achievement. One of the root problems of malnutrition is poverty which is related to sociodemographic including social and economic status. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional status in elementary school children in Wokam and Karangguli Village, Aru Islands Regency, Maluku. This study used cross-sectional study design and the type of this study is analytical observational. Nutritional status was assessed using weight to stature growth chart with Waterlow criteria. Data about sociodemographic were collected by interview. Correlation between sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional status were analyzed using chi-square test. From 106 samples, 73 students (68,9%) have normal nutritional status and 33 students (31,1%) were wasted. No significant correlation was found between sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional status in Wokam and Karangguli Village, Aru Islands Regency. Keywords:     correlation, elementary school students, nutritional status, sociodemographic

Abstract

A total of 100 fresh vegetable samples consisting of yardlong bean, cabbage, lettuce, and lemon basil were purchased from five traditional markets in Surabaya. Each sample was washed with tap water, water washing examined using flotation method to find soil-transmitted helminths. The overall prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths contamination was 41% (41/100). The most predominant parasite was hookworms (20%), followed by Strongyloides stercoralis larvae (14%) and Ascaris lumbricoides eggs (7%). The highest prevalence of contamination was found in lettuce, with a prevalence rate of 56% (14/25), while the lowest prevalence of contamination was found in yardlong bean, with a prevalence rate of 24% (6/25). Sequentially, the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths contamination of fresh vegetable samples from Pabean traditional market (55%), Keputran traditional market (50%), Wonokromo traditional market (50%), Lakarsantri traditional market (35%) and Mulyosari traditional market (15%), respectively. The present study demonstrated that consumption of vegetables with parasite contamination in this area represents a potential route for the transmission of soil-transmitted helminths infection.

Abstract

Malaria persists as an undiminished global problem and still is the cause of much human morbidity and mortality. Although the disease has been eradicated in many temperate zones, it continues to be endemic throughout much of the tropics and subtropics. Many tools for understanding its biology and epidemiology are well developed, with a particular richness of comparative genome sequences. Studies of the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of human malaria methods, and analyses of parasite polymorphisms have long had have already been influenced by the availability of molecular useful and highly informative applications. The molecular epidemiology of malaria is currently undergoing its most substantial revolution as a result of the genomic information and technologiesthat are available in well-resourced centers. However, great progress in malaria control has been made in some highly endemic countries. Vector control is assuming a new importance with the significant reductions in malaria burden achieved using combined malaria control interventions. Education of health workers and communities about malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment is a vital component of effective case management, especially as diagnostic policies change.

Abstract

BACKGROUNDPulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and East Java province is the second largest contributor of co-infection in Indonesia. Asymptomatic helminth infection among pulmonary tuberculosis patients causes another public health problem. Few data relate to helminth infection based on clinical and immunological outcomes of pulmonary TB in highly endemic areas. METHODSThis study was designed as a preliminary study and aimed to determine helminth co-infection among TB patients with a macroscopic assessment. This cross-sectional study was conducted in June-August 2017. RESULTSAmong 16 treated active TB patients from TB cohort data of Tanakali Kedinding health center found that 56% were stool smear-positive for Trichuris trichiura eggs, but had no clinical symptoms. CONCLUSIONWhether or not the helminth infection may have an impact on the diagnosis and treatment of active TB remains to be further investigated. Co-infection could be inhibited by the host immune response and improve the prognosis of TB treatment.
