Abstract

Invasive candidiasis is an important health-care-associated fungal infection. Candida is often described as an opportunistic pathogen. It is commensal flora in the gastrointestinal tract. Invasive candidiasis can happen usually because of a consequence of increased or abnormal colonization together with a local or generalized defect in host defenses. Candidiasis can occur in patients with HIV, therapy with a broad-spectrum antibiotic, transplant organ, and immunocompromised. Most cases of gastric perforation occur as complications of Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and gastric neoplasms, but candidiasis as a cause of gastric perforation is very rare. This study aims to reveal the correlation between gastric perforation with candidiasis and NSAIDs. It was reported that a 57-year-old East Java Indonesian female presented with severe epigastric pain, generalized peritonitis, fever, nausea also vomiting and had a history of NSAIDs used for five years. The patient was taken to the general surgery of Dr. Sutomo Surabaya Hospital and performed exploratory laparotomy. A gastric perforation was discovered in the antrum. Microbiology culture examination from biopsy gastric tissue revealed an intense fungal growth from sabouraudagar medium and there is no other microorganism that grew in aerobic culture. Candida albicans was identified by VITEK® 2 COMPACT. Histopathological examination from biopsy gastric tissue was performed by Olympus CX-21 microscope, showed invasive Candida albicans consisting of numerous fungal yeasts and pseudohyphae invading and destroying the gastric wall. The patient was subsequently treated with fluconazole anti-fungal and discharge home after nine days postoperative period in good condition. From this result, we suggest using an antifungal treatment for patients who use NSAIDs for long periods to prevent candidiasis.

Abstract

Background: Tinea imbricata is a chronic superficial fungal infection caused by Trichophyton concentricum, which is endemic in the tropics. The prevalence of this disease in endemic areas is estimated to be around 9% - 18% of the population. Keerom Regency, Papua, has one of the highest cases of Tinea imbricata and continues to be a major public health problem. Understanding the associated risk factors is critical for effective control. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for the incidence of Tinea imbricata in Keerom Regency, Papua. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study using case control design. Sampling was done by concecutive sampling, the ratio of the number of cases and controls was set at 1:1 (31 cases and 31 controls) so that the total sample size was 62 people. Result: The results of the study with bivariate analysis showed a significant value of risk factors for residential density (p<0.05), risk factors for contact history (p<0.05), the habit of using shared towels / clothes (p<0.05), and family history (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that contact history and family history were the factors most associated with the incidence of Tinea imbricata. Conclusion: This study shows that there is a relationship between residential density, the habit of wearing towels / clothes with patients, contact history and family history and the most related factors are direct contact and family history.
