Abstract

Cryptococcosis is the fourth most common opportunistic infection among Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients.About 100% mortality has been reported within two weeks in patient with cryptococcal meningitis but without specific treatment. Theaim of the study was to compare Cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) detection between Cryptococcus Antigen Latex Agglutination System(CALAS) and Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) among AIDS patients. This research was designed as comparative analytic with cross sectionalstudy on 56 serum derived from AIDS patient who visited Teratai Clinic before ARV therapy initiation and who had never been diagnosedas Cryptococcal meningitis. Each sample was tested for CrAg with CALAS and LFA according to the manufacturer instructions. Thisstudy was conducted in the Clinical Pathology Laboratory at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital/Centre Research Unit (CRU) Medical Faculty,Padjajaran University between December 2012March2013. The statistical analysis was done using Chi square test. The result showed thatthere was no significant difference between CALAS and LFA method with p=0.596 (p>0.05), the positive probability of CrAg detectionusing LFA was 0.75 times compared to the CALAS method. For the CrAg detection in the AIDS patients there was no significant differencebetween CALAS and LFA and the positive probability of CrAg for LFA was detected about 0.75 times compared to the CALAS method.

Abstract

Anemia is the most common hematologic abnormality associated with HIV which affecting 60 to 80 percent of patients in the latestage of the disease. The presence of anemia is associated with increased of morbidity and mortality in patients with HIV infection. Irondeficiency, chronic inflammation and antiretroviral treatment (ACT) may cause HIV associated anemia. The differentiation of irondeficiency anemia from chronic disease anemia is a diagnostic challenge. Maybe it is helpful in soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), thecleaving of the extra cellular domain related to transferrin receptor. Because the elevated sTfR concentration is a marker of tissue irondeficiency and increased marrow erythropoietin activity. The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic value of soluble transferrinreceptor level in anemia patients with HIV/AIDS. The Study was the part of the IMPACT (Integrated Management for Prevention, Controland Treatment of HIV/AIDS) baseline and cohort study. The study started since September 2007 in RSUP Hasan Sadikin Bandung.There were 179 HIV/AIDS patients with anemia included in this study. Complete blood count, reticulocytes, feritin, soluble transferringreceptor and hsCRP were tested in these patients. It was found that the mean of sTfR in HIV patients with anemia were 1238.42U/mL(304.5-30435). sTfR had a low correlation with MCV (r -0.174), feritin (r -0.65) and absolute reticulocyte counting (r 0.172). Feritinhad moderate and significant correlation with hsCRP (r:0.429; p 0.00). There was no significant difference of sTfR level between thepatients without ART, with Zidovudin and d4T (p 0.81). There was no significance difference of sTfR concentration between the low andnormal MCV level (p 0.341). sTfR can not differentiate the source of anemia in patients with HIV/AIDS. It can be concluded so far thatchronic disease and inflammation as reflected by the elevated hsCRP level and use of zidovudine are the main cause of anemia.

Abstract

Coronary arterial disease (CAD) is the main cause of mortality across many countries throughout the world. Formation ofatherosclerosis plaque is the early cause for cardiovascular dysfunction in CAD. Detecting of atherosclerosis plaque instability is veryimportant to predict the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Various biomarkers have been studied to find the good marker fordetecting atherosclerosis and its instability, but until now there is no biomarker meet the requirements to be used in routine clinicaltests. Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is the alternative parameter in the detection of atherosclerosis, assessing the degree of its plaqueand instability in CAD patients. The benefits of PRCP level test in serum, compared to angiography that is currently used in the detectionof atherosclerosis plaque is that this test is non-invasive, provides quantitative level information, able to estimate the instability of theplaque and the fact that it is a laboratorial test that can be performed in hospitals with less advance facilities. The aim of this study isto know the different PRCP level between ACS and stable angina patients by determination. This study was held in the period betweenMarch–May 2014, in Rumah Sakit dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. The subjects were selected on the basis of consecutive sampling onpatients that are presented in the Emergency Departement and Cardiovascular Clinic. From 88 patients consisted of 44 patients withACS and 44 patients with stable angina, were tested for PRCP level in the serum using the ELISA sandwich method. This study wascarried out by observational design with cross sectional method. The statistical analysis uses the Saphiro Wilk data normality test,Mann Whitney test and Kruskal Wallis test. There was no characteristic difference between the two groups. This research identifiedsignificant difference of PRCP level between the ACS group and stable angina (P=0.005). Prolylcarboxy peptidase level in the ACS group(156,3×102 pg/mL) is higher compared to the stable angina (143.8×102pg/mL). PRCP level test hopefully can be recommended asone of the laboratorycal parameter in measuring the degree and instability of atherosclerosis plaque, in the absence of angiography orintravascular ultrasonography test facility.
