Abstract

Background Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is an importantpublic health problem in Indonesia.Objective To find out factors influencing the transmission of STHin two different communities in North Sumatera, Indonesia.Methods A cross sectional study was done on 96 primary schoolchildren in Suka village (located on a mountain area) and 96 pri-mary school children in Pantai Cermin village (a coastal area). Sub-jects were recruited by simple random sampling. Kato Katz andcentrifuge floatation methods were used for stool and soil exami-nations, respectively. Data were collected by interviewing parentsof children using a questionnaire and were analyzed using chi–square test by SPSS program version 11.0.Results There was no difference in the prevalence of STH in bothvillages (p>0.05). Parents’ knowledge and economic status hadsignificant relationships with the prevalence of STH in Suka vil-lage (p<0.05), but not in Pantai Cermin (p>0.05). In both villages,parents’ education did not have a significant relation with STH,while there were significant relations between STH and hygiene,environment, or soil contamination by worm eggs (p<0.05).Conclusion There were significant relationships between hygiene,environment, or soil contamination and the prevalence of STH inthe two villages.

Abstract

Objectives To determine the association between intestinal hel-minthiasis and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and to observe theeffect of single dose albendazole treatment on Hb concentration.Methods An experimental study was carried out from March toJuly 2002 on primary school children at Suka Village, Tiga PanahSubdistrict, Karo Regency, North Sumatera Province. From 366children who suffered from helminthiasis, 113 were selected assubjects by simple random sampling. Subjects were treated with asingle oral dose of 400 mg albendazole. Hb concentration wasexamined using the cyanide method twice i.e., prior to and threemonths after treatment with albendazole.Results It was found that among 113 subjects, the prevalences ofAscaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and mixed infestation were18.3%, 40.4%, and 41.3%, respectively, while the prevalence ofanemia was 33.0%. There was no significant difference in age,gender, nutritional status, and mean Hb concentration betweenchildren suffering from the different types of worm infestation(P>0.05). For each type of infestation, there were significant differ-ences in mean Hb concentration and anemia prevalence beforeand after treatment (P<0.05).Conclusions There was no difference between the Hb concen-trations of children suffering from Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuristrichiura, and mixed-type worm infestations. Single dose 400 mgalbendazole was beneficial in increasing Hb concentration andreducing the occurrence of anemia

Abstract

Introduction Little is known about the potential interaction of ironand zinc given to increase hemoglobin and serum ferritin in chil-dren with malaria.Objective To study the effect of iron compared with a combination ofiron and zinc supplementation on children with falciparum malaria.Method Children with positive Plasmodium falciparum (n=86) wererandomly assigned to a daily supplementation of 6 mg iron/kg perday plus placebo or plus 10 mg zinc per day for 30 days. All childrenwere treated with the same regimen for the treatment of P. falciparum.Venous blood samples were collected at the start and end of thestudy. After 30 days of supplementation, the baseline and follow-upblood samples were analyzed.Results The increase of hemoglobin concentration in the ironplus placebo group was 0.58 g/dl, while in the iron plus zinc groupwas 0.09 g/dl (P<0.05). Serum ferritin concentration was high inboth groups before trial, yet there was no significant differenceafter iron supplementation.Conclusions Iron supplementation showed significant increasein hemoglobin concentration in children with positive P. falciparumtreated with the same regimen of treatment. Supplementation ofiron alone as well as iron plus zinc had been proven ineffective toiincrease serum ferritin in children with malaria.

Abstract

Assessment of nutritional status and fecal examination for intestinal helminthiasis were conducted on 317 children of Tobacco Plantation workers. The nutritional status was measured by using the "three coloured cord" and fecal examination was done by the direct smear method with the result 15.14% of the children suffered from severe malnutrition, 44.80% possible mild malnutrition and 40.06% were normal. Fecal examination revealed that 64.90% had Ascariasis, 20.20% had Trichuriasis, 4.33% had Oxyuriasis.

Abstract

Abstract: Current issue diphtheria immunization, pertussis, tetanus (DPT) is whether there is a difference of immunity and effectiveness of administration once, twice, three times to establish immunity. There is some suggestion that antibodies against an antigen titer of low does not indicate susceptibility to the disease or reverse the amount of high titer nothing to do with immunity to a particular disease.Keywords: immunization; diphtheria; pertussis; tetanus; antibody titers
