Abstract

Leptospirosis is primarily a disease of wild and domestic animals, and may be transmitted to humans through direct or indirect contact with infected animal urine. Leptospirosis is endemic in part of Indonesia territory. This work aimed to find the leptospirosis cases in Semarang city, one of the endemic leptospirosis in Indonesia by active and passive case finding. The leptospirosis were screened in the community base active case finding and passive case finding in primary health care center and hospitals, by using modified WHO-SEARO criteria and laboratory confirmation test. There were 191 cases detected with modified WHO-SEARO criteria, and among those cases only 31 cases confirmed by laboratory test, either by using Rapid Detection Test (RDT), Microscopic Agglutinations Test (MAT) or Polymerase chained reaction (PCR). It was found that leptospirosis was not correlated with rainfall season. Fever, headache and myalgia were the most common symptoms experienced by >90% patients. Active case finding add no more than 7% probable leptospirosis and 14% confirmed cases to the traditional passive case finding. It was conclude that leptospirosis case finding is still challenging in the endemic area, such as Semarang city. The application of modified WHO-SEARO criteria as diagnostic tool may be needed to be further evaluated. Keywords: Leptospirosis, Surveillance, Case finding, Endemic, Detection

Abstract

Local health agency in Kebumen Regency reported that an outbreak of leptospirosis occurred in the beginning 2017. Based on the data obtained from the agency showed that a total of 60 leptospirosis cases has been successfully investigated in Kebumen Regency for January – April 2017. Among those cases, 40 patients were reported positive RDT and 6 patients were died (CFR value =10,00). The aim of this study was to determine a relationship between behavioral factors of people in Kebumen Regency with occurrence of leptospirosis and the risk factor scale of the disease. The descriptive analytic study with case control design was applied. Samples were collected using the purposive sampling method and the number of sample observed in the present study was 42 people. All data were analysed using Chi Square and Odds Ratio (OR) calculation. The results revealed that three variables of people behaviour in Kebumen Regency had positive association to occurrence of leptospirosis. They were no foot protection (barefoot) when doing activity in the yard (OR=0,25) and paddy fields (OR=0,16). Another variable was open wound without any treatment or cover (OR=0,12). It is highly recommended that staffs from local health agency should educate people for wearing sandal or other foot protections properly, particularly for those who work in the yard and paddy field. The open wound must be covered and treated in order to prevent leptospira infection.
