Abstract

Background & Objective: Drinking water is a very important human need. Drinking water that is suitable for consumption must meet established standards, among others, according to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No.492/Menkes/IV/2010. This study aims to determine the presence or absence of coliform bacteria in the drinking water of students using the MPN method. Methods: This type of research is descriptive. The sampling was carried out at the Al-Mu'aawanah Islamic boarding school. The results showed that the samples of drinking water for male and female students for microbiological parameters showed that the samples were positive for coliform bacteria. The sample for female students was 22/100 mL, and the sample for male students was 2/100 mL. Based on Permenkes No.472/Menkes/IV/2010, the maximum total concentration of coliform bacteria is 0/100 mL, which means that it is not in accordance with the standards of Permenkes No.472/Menkes/IV/2010, and the growth of faecal coliform bacteria was found in EMB media in both samples. namely the metallic green Escherichia coli bacteria, which indicates that the sample does not meet the microbiological requirements of drinking water.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Chronic renal failure is a slow and incurable disease. Regular treatment can halt the deterioration of kidney function, with kidney transplantation and hemodialysis being the most common options. However, hemodialysis patients are at risk of contracting the Hepatitis B virus due to the use of repeated vascular access and high frequency of hemodialysis. This study aims to describe the results of HBsAg examination in patients with chronic renal failure who undergo hemodialysis. Method: The research is a descriptive study that used a purposive sampling technique and was conducted in May-June 2022. The study included 44 chronic renal failure patients who underwent HBsAg examination using the Immunochromatography method. Result: The study's results showed that all 44 respondents (100%) who underwent hemodialysis had negative HBsAg examination results, indicating that they were not exposed to the Hepatitis B virus. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study indicates that chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis are not at risk of contracting the Hepatitis B virus. Further research could include quantitative Hepatitis B antibody examinations.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: Candida albicans is an opportunistic commensal fungus that becomes pathogenic when there is an immune disorder or physiological change. The resulting infection, called candidiasis, is acute or subacute and can affect various organs. Poor personal hygiene is a predisposing factor, especially in genital infections. This study aims to determine the presence and prevalence of Candida albicans in the urine of premenstrual girls aged 10-14 years at SMPN 1 Ciamis. Method: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Sampling was performed using purposive sampling, with a total of 23 samples collected. The samples were examined at the Parasitology Laboratory of STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis. Results: The results of the study of 23 samples found 3 samples (13%) positive for Candida albicans, 2 samples (9%) positive for Candida tropicalis, and 18 samples (78%) showed no fungal growth. Conclusion Based on the results of this study, poor personal hygiene can influence Candida albicans fungal infection, especially in premenstrual adolescent girls aged 10-14 years.
