Abstract

Background: The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) is a significant health problem and more prominent in developing countries where TB is endemic and DM prevalence increases. The prevalence of pulmonary TB increases with increasing prevalence of DM. Uncontrolled diabetic patients with high hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels cause TB to become more severe and are associated with higher mortality and also have a significant effect on radiological manifestations of pulmonary TB. Methods: The was a case-control study conducted between January to December 2016 at RSUP H Adam Malik, Medan to 43 with TB-DM patients and 41 TB-without DM patients was studied from. Radiological examination with chest radiograph was done in both groups of samples. The HbA1c levels was examined in the TB with DM group. Result: Compared with TB-without DM group, the TB with DM group significantly had far advanced tuberculosis lesions (OR=3.8; 95% CI=1.37-10.47; P=0.01), more atypical lesions atipikal (OR=6.29; 95% CI=2.43-16.25; P

Abstract

Backgrounds: Tuberculosis (TB) is still a public health problem in the world.Vitamin C is a water-soluble micronutrient, protects the host from reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen intermediates generated during mycobacterial infection, involved in the synthesis of collagen, iron transport, and acts as physiological antioxidant. Vitamin C plays role in killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis by fenton reaction. This study was to determine the effect of vitamin C supplementation on chest X-ray (CXR) improvement in pulmonary TB patients during intensive phase. Methods: This was a quasy experimental study with single blind-randomized controlled trial design. Subjects were divided into 2 groups, first group was pulmonary TB patients treated with anti tuberculosis drugs (ATD) plus vitamin C and the second group was treated with ATD plus placebo. This study was conducted in several public health center in Medan City. The subjects were pulmonary TB patients with positive AFB sputum in intensive phase from December 2017 to May 2018. Data were analized using t-test dependent. Results: From 80 total subjects, 53 males (66%) and 27 females (34%). After 2 months of treatment, improvements in CXR images were found in the ATD plus vitamin C group, about 21 subjects (52.5%) had no more lesions on CXR, while the same condition was found on 15 subjects (37.5%) in the placebo group. Conclusion: Vitamin C supplementation in pulmonary TB provided better improvements of CXR images. (J Respir Indo. 2020; 40(2): 82-7)

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases was happening quite quickly and has spread between countries so that COVID-19 has become a pandemic in the world. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of COVID-19 patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. Method: This was a descriptive study. Data were taken from the medical records of 110 hospitalized patients with positive RT-PCR results for COVID-19 from December 2020 to April 2021. The inclusion criteria for the case samples were patients diagnosed with COVID-19 based on RT-PCR and the exclusion criteria were incomplete medical records. Characteristic analysis was carried out using the Kruskal Wallis test. Results: The most common comorbidities found in patients with severe COVID-19 were diabetes mellitus and HIV. The most common comorbidity found in moderate-level COVID-19 patients was pregnant women. The most common chest X-rays finding in severe and critical levels was bilateral infiltrates. Recovered patients were mostly obtained at moderate level, while deceased patients were mostly observed at critical levels. Conclusion: Characteristics of COVID-19 patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital were classified based on the degree of disease by age, lymphocyte value, N/L ratio, levels of CRP, D-dimer, procalcitonin, fibrinogen, ferritin, and comorbidities as well as the appearance of infiltrates in both lung fields.
