Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever, which mostly affects children, remains a major health problem in developing countries. Early diagnosis will help the management and thus, reduce morbidity and mortality. However, a rapid diagnostic test that detects the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) directed towards Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) antigen remains controversial despite its popularity. This study was aimed to assess the validity of IgM anti S. typhi serologic test in childhood typhoid fever. Methods: This retrospective diagnostic test, used blood culture as gold standard. Forty-one typhoid fever children with fever of 1–14 days admitted to Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2013 to 2015 were recruited. Diagnosis of typhoid fever is made clinically. Data were analyzed by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and diagnostic test.Results: Forty one children diagnosed with typhoid fever, 37 were positive for IgM anti S. typhi, but only 18 were positive for S. typhi in blood culture. IgM anti S. typhi (cut-off ≥4) test had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 59%, sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 17.39%. IgM anti S. typhi with cut-off >8 showed the highest AUC with sensitivity of 55.56% and specificity of 73.68%.Conclusions: IgM anti S. typhi test of cut-off >8 performs better than cut-off ≥4 in terms of AUC..[AMJ.2017;4(1):138–42] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n1.1035

Abstract

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is the main cause of the immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). TLR-9 gene encodes a toll-like receptor-9 that plays a key role in innate immunity. This study aimed to describe the proportion of TLR-9 polymorphisms at rs352139 in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive study involving a total of 96 patients with HIV/AIDS treated in a tertiary hospital in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia in 2013. TLR-9 gene polymorphisms at rs 352139 were examined using a mass screening platform and the genotypes proportion was presented in percentage and compared with other populations.Results: The average age of the HIV/AIDS patients recruited was 30 years (SD+6.1) and the baseline mean of CD4+ count was 318.02 mm3 (Normal was 1,500 mm3) (SD+273.1). The proportion of polymorphisms at rs352139or G1174A presented a wild type genotype GG (42.7%), GA (44.9%), and AA (12.4%), resulting in a total proportion nucleotide change of 57.3%.Conclusion: A total proportion of nucleotide change or polymorphisms is higher than the wild type. A further cohort study is of great interest to associate the rs352139 polymorphisms with a decrease in CD4+cells in HIV/AIDS patients, confirming a rapid disease progression.

Abstract

Background: Tissue biopsy examination which is an invasive procedure has become the mainstay for hepatic cirrhosis identification in patients with hepatitis. Alternatively, noninvasive method using the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index (APRI) score has been developed to predict hepatic cirrhosis. Furthermore, the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been used to predict the severity of hepatitis C. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between APRI scores and NLR and PLR in chronic hepatitis C patients.Methods: This correlative cross-sectional observational study used secondary data of complete blood counts such as neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet values, as well as AST values of patients with hepatitis C in the outpatient and inpatient installation of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during 2019. The inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥18 years, male and female, who were diagnosed as hepatitis C patients, patients who had AST examination data, leukocytes, count type, and platelets. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test.Results: The 123 subjects were dominantly male with an age range of 46–55 years. There was no correlation between the APRI and NLR scores (p=0.229). However, there was a moderate and significant negative correlation between APRI and PLR scores with a correlation coefficient of -0.468 (p=0.000).Conclusion: There is a significant negative correlation between APRI and PLR scores to predict the occurrence of hepatic cirrhosis in patients with Hepatitis C.
