Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) patients often experience reduced appetite or nutritional malabsorption leading to malnutrition, which manifests in excessive loss of muscle mass and low body mass index (BMI). Patients with protein malnutrition is associated with increased risk of drug-induced liver injury and may require a close monitoring during the course of antituberculosis (AT) treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of low body mass index and albumin level with liver dysfunction in patients newly diagnosed with TB prior to receiving AT drugs. This study is a nonexperimental observational study with consecutive sampling technique by following a descriptive analytic design (cohort study). The subjects were patients in the National Lung Health Center Makassar who are newly diagnosed with TB and have not received any AT drug. The BMI data and blood samples were collected and analyzed to obtain Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartat aminotransferase (AST), and Albumin levels. It was found that out of 22 total patients, 3 (14%) of the TB patients experienced liver dysfunction characterized by high level of ALT and AST levels. Both patients had normal levels of albumin despite one of them had a low BMI. The statistical showed no correlation between the low BMI or albumin level with the presence of liver dysfunction. It is concluded that the presence of liver dysfunction is not correlated with low BMI or albumin level in newly diagnosed TB patients, and hence, are not considered as independent risk factors of liver dysfunction in this population.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are still a major health problem in several countries, especially in developing countries. The medication used to treat bacterial infections is obtained by utilizing herbal plants obtained from natural ingredients. Pumpkin fruit extract (Cucurbita moschata) contains flavonoids. tannins, saponins, and alkaloids Pumpkin fruit is effective as an antidiabetic, an antihypertensive, an antitumor, an antibacterial, and an antioxidant. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of the methanol and n-hexane fractions of yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) fruit extract and at what concentration the methanol and n-hexane fractions of yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) fruit extract can have antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This research uses laboratory-experimental research methods. Antibacterial testing in this research involved sterilization, making test solutions, and testing. The results of the antibacterial test on the inhibition zone of the methanol fraction of pumpkin fruit against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria at concentrations of 20%, 30%, and 40% were in the strong category, while the n-hexane fraction had an inhibition zone in the weak category for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Conclusion: The methanol and n-hexane fractions have antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and the concentrations with antibacterial activity are 20%, 30%, and 40%.
