Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets during prolonged and close contact with untreated individuals. Although it has a relatively low transmission rate, unfavorable environmental conditions can significantly increase the risk of disease spread. This study aims to identify and analyze the environmental factors that contribute to leprosy transmission. A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional observational design was conducted. The study involved 222 leprosy patients with type 1 (reversal) reactions who were registered at the Morbus Hansen Outpatient Clinic from January 2015 to September 2024. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, field observations, and secondary data from medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with the Mann–Whitney test used to examine the relationship between environmental factors and leprosy cases. The results show that high population density, poor sanitation, inadequate household ventilation, limited access to clean water, and low socioeconomic status are factors significantly correlated with the high incidence of leprosy in the area. These findings highlight the importance of improving environmental conditions, alongside community education and enhanced access to healthcare services, as key components in the prevention and control of leprosy. Therefore, environment-based interventions should be integrated into a comprehensive strategy to eliminate leprosy in Indonesia.

Abstract

  Background: Herpes zoster is a reactivation of varicella-zoster virus that is characterized by a painful dermatomal vesicle eruption. Herpes zoster can bring several burdens including a painful rash and complications such as herpetic neuralgia and other neurological disorder. Herpes zoster commonly affects persons with decreased immunity levels which can caused by several conditions including malignancy. Multiple myeloma is one of the haematological malignancies commonly associated with renal impairments. Acyclovir is excreted in an unchanged form through renal, thus in patients with renal impairment could decrease the excretion level and can increase the possibility of renal toxicity. Case Presentation: We present a case report of a 46-year-old herpes zoster patient with multiple myeloma and renal impairment. The renal dose adjustment for acyclovir was done in this patient becomes 800mg three times daily. One week after the administration of acyclovir this patient showed remarkable results, there was no new lesion was found. This patient resolved after 10 days of renal dose adjustment of oral acyclovir and continued the multiple myeloma treatment on day fourteen. Conclusion: The management of herpes zoster infection in a patient with multiple myeloma commonly accompanies with renal impairment thus the consideration of adjusting the dose for renal impaired condition is important to reduce the possibility of renal toxicity in concordance with maintaining its adequate dose to prevent the possibility of complication
