Abstract

Background Exhaled carbon monoxide has been related to the degree of inflammation. An easy, inexpensive, and non-invasive test to measure exhaled CO levels (eCO) may help in supporting the diagnosis of asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) in children. Objective To compare the eCO levels in children with asthma, AR, or both asthma and AR, to children without asthma or AR. Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 450 children aged 13-14 years in Yogyakarta. Asthma and AR were determined according to the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) study criteria, while eCO level was examined using a Smokerlyzer®. The levels of eCO between groups were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Results Of 450 children, 48 (10.67%) had asthma only, 91 (20.22%) had AR only, 67 (14.89%) had both asthma and AR, and 244 (54.22%) had neither asthma nor AR. The eCO levels of children with asthma or AR were not significantly different compared to those without asthma and AR (P=0.33 and P=0.19, respectively). However, children with both asthma and AR had significantly higher eCO level compared to children without asthma and AR (P< 0.001). Conclusion The levels of eCO in children with asthma only or AR only are similar to those without both diseases. Children with both asthma and AR have significant higher eCO compared to healthy children.

Abstract

Almost 2 billion people, about a quarter of the world’s population, are infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH) worldwide. Approximately 270 million preschool children and more than 550 million school-age children live in areas of extensive parasite transmission.1,2 Indonesia is a moderate-to-high-risk area of STH, with an overall mean prevalence of 28.12%. However, the prevalence in Papua is higher.3 A study reported that 50% of school-aged children in Jayapura, Papua, a high-risk area, suffered from STH, with distributions of 48.5% Ascaris lumbricoides, 28.6% Trichuris trichiura, 14.3% hookworm, and 8.6% mixed infection.4
