Abstract

Abstract: Malaria is still a public health problem worldwide, especially in economically underdeveloped and undeveloped countries. There are several laboratory diagnostic tests for malaria inter alia microscopic examination (thick and thin stained blood smear), rapid diagnostic test (RDT), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This study was aimed to compare the effectivity of RDT with of microscopic examination as the gold standard of malaria diagnosis. This was a diagnostic test study. Blood samples were obtained from 38 people of clinical malaria who lived at Likupang Barat from October 2015 to January 2016. The RDT results were compared with the microscopic examination to obtain the sensitivity and specifity levels. The results showed that of the RDT, the sensitivity was 67%, the specifity was 97%, the positive predictive value was 67%, and the negative predictive value was 97%. Conclusion: Rapid diagnostic test was nearly as effective as the microscopic examination of malaria.Keywords: RDT, microscopic examination, sensitivity, specificityAbstrak: Malaria masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia terutama di negara yang secara ekonomis masih tertinggal dan belum berkembang.

Abstract

Abstract: Malaria is caused by an obligate intracellular protozoa Plasmodium genus that may affect any people residing in its reproductive area. WHO has recommended quick parasite detection methods based on microscopic examination and Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) to all patients suspected of malaria before any antimalaria drug was prescribed. This study aimed to compare plasmodium spp. detection methods by using RDT and microscopic examination as the gold standard. The results of comparing RDT to microscopic examination showed 90.47% sensitivity, 100% specifity, 100% positive predictive value, and 87.5% negative predictive value. Conclusion: Rapid Diagnostic Test could detect malaria plasmodium almost the same as microscopic examination, and could be practically used as an alternative to confirm the diagnosis of malaria.Keywords: rapid diagnostic test, microscope examination, plasmodium sppAbstrak: Malaria merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan oleh protozoa obligat intrasel dari genus plasmodium yang dapat menyerang siapa saja terutama penduduk yang tinggal di daerah yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan perkembangan nyamuk.

Abstract

Abstract: In Indonesia there are two vectors are known, the main vector Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus as a potential vector, Aedes spp mosquito breeding varies but generally prefer clear water reservoirs. Eggs Aedes spp mosquitoes can hatch in the sewage, although not known survival and growth of larvae into pupae and adult mosquitoes. Objective: To determine the survival and growth of Aedes spp in various types of water breeding. Methods: Four types of breeding water taken directly from the settlement, and immediately used. Eggs Aedes spp laboratory strains incubated in water media. Larvae reared until the age of 4 days. A sample of 25 healthy larvae included six types of breeding water. The number of surviving larvae, pupae and adult mosquitoes be observed and counted every day for 15 days. Data security and growth of larvae processed manually in the form of percentages and graphs. Results: Aedes spp shown to survive in water dug wells (SGL), sewage water (sewer), as well as tap water. The presence of mosquitoes living in the sewer water can last up to 15 days with the same amount of mosquitoes from the first day until the last day. This phenomenon is different in the SGL and PAM water where mosquitoes can survive until day 15, although with a small percentage. Aedes spp proved unable to survive in wastewater soap. Conclusion: Water drains were left in place and clear become breeding places for Aedes spp good to note that its presence in the cleaning mosquito breeding. Keywords: The larvae of Aedes spp, life, death, pupa, adult mosquitoes, breeding water.     Abstrak: Di Indonesia dikenal ada dua vektor, vektor utama nyamuk  Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus sebagaivektor potensial, perindukan nyamuk Aedes spp sangat bervariasi tetapi umumnya lebih menyukai tempat penampungan air jernih. Telur Aedes sppdapat menetas pada air comberan,meskipun belum diketahui ketahanan hidup dan pertumbuhan larva menjadi pupa dan nyamuk dewasa. Tujuan: mengetahui ketahanan hidup dan pertumbuhan nyamuk Aedes spp pada berbagai jenis air perindukan. Metode: Empat jenis air perindukan diambil secara langsung dari pemukiman penduduk dan langsung digunakan. Telur Aedes spp strain laboratorium ditetaskan pada media air bersih. Larva dipelihara hingga berumur 4 hari. Sampel sebanyak 25 ekor larva sehat dimasukkan ke enam jenis air perindukan. Jumlah larva yang bertahan hidup, menjadi pupa dan nyamuk dewasa diamati dan dihitung setiap hari selama 15 hari. Data ketahanan dan pertumbuhan larva diolah secara manual dalam bentuk persentase dan grafik. Hasil: Nyamuk Aedes spp terbukti dapat bertahan hidup pada air sumur gali (SGL), air comberan (got), serta air PAM.  Keberadaan nyamuk hidup pada air got  mampu  bertahan  sampai 15 hari dengan jumlah nyamuk yang sama dari hari pertama sampai hari terakhir. Fenomena ini berbeda pada air SGL dan PAM dimana nyamuk mampu bertahan sampai hari ke-15 meskipun dengan persentase kecil. Nyamuk Aedes spp terbukti tidak dapat bertahan hidup pada air limbah sabun. Simpulan:  Air got yang didiamkan dan jernih menjadi tempat perindukan yang baik bagi Aedes spp sehingga keberadaannya perlu diperhatikan dalam pembersihan sarang nyamuk. Kata kunci: Larva Aedes spp, hidup, mati, pupa, nyamuk dewasa, air perindukan.
