Abstract

Indonesia is one of the few countries in the world with very high burden of tuberculosis (TB). Tubercular pleural effusion (Pleural TB) is the most common form of extra-pulmonary TB, however the remains a common clinical challenge. This research from May 2017 through September 2017 a total of 42 patients with exudative lymphocytic pleural effusions suspected to pleural tuberculosis were enrolled in this study. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) and Gene X-pert were examined from pleural fluid. Diagnosis was made clinically or based from sputum/pleural fluid culture. The result of this research showed out of all participants, 64,3% (27/42) had ADA in positive level (>40 IU/L) and 31% (13/24) had Gene X-pert positive Mycobacterium Tb. The Gene X-pert sensitivity was 40.7% with specificity 86.6%, PPV and NPV were 44.8% and 57.1% respectively. Kappa Compatibility study show that Gene X-pert point was 0.227 (p 0.066). The usefulness of Gene X-pert to diagnose pleural TB is limited by its poor sensitivity. Gene X-pert cannot be used as single diagnostic tool for tuberculous pleural effusion

Abstract

The low treatment rate, low treatment success rate and high mortality rate of patients with pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) need serious attention. The aim of this study was to describe the profiles of patients with pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB cases and to determine associated risk factors of their incidence in Indonesia. A retrospective case-control study was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan, North Sumatra of which all sensitive-drug TB (SD-TB), pre-XDR-TB, and XDR-TB patients aged 18 years or older treated between October 2019 to June 2022 were included. Chi-squared test or Kruskal Wallis test and multiple logistic regression were used to determine the risk factors associated with pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB incidence. A total 16 patients of case group (15 pre-XDR-TB and one XDR-TB) and 116 SD-TB patients (control group) were included in the final analysis. Out of total patients within case group, 62.5% were male, 43.8% aged between 56–65 years, 62.5% graduated from high school or equivalent, and 25% were unemployed. The majority of patients had no comorbid (62.5%), had history of anti-TB treatment (93.8%), and had secondary resistance (93.8%). Multivariate analysis indicated that age (OR: 10.01; 95%CI: 1.49–66.91, p=0.018) and previous history of anti-TB treatment (OR: 216.25; 95%CI: 18.62–2511.60, p<0.001) were significantly associated with incidence of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB. This study highlights that having previous history of anti-TB treatment and older age are the predictors of the incidence of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a significant impact on global health. The alterations in quality of life (QoL) and the persistent symptom of dyspnea have been the healthcare workers’ challenges during and after the pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with the QoL and persistent dyspnea experienced by COVID-19 survivors, particularly among healthcare workers. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare workers at H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, using direct interviews to collect the data. The EuroQol 5-dimensional 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) and the self-assessment EuroQol-visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) were used to assess the QoL of the healthcare workers; and persistent dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. Possible risk factors such as demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics (comorbidities, history of hospitalization, oxygen usage, history of COVID-19 vaccination, the severity of previous COVID-19, existence of post-COVID syndrome) and the symptoms of the post-COVID syndrome were collected. Chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test were used to identify the risk factors associated with the QoL and persistent dyspnea. A total of 100 healthcare workers were included in the study and 2% of healthcare workers experienced pain/discomfortand 4% experienced anxiety/depression. The average healthcare worker’s EQ-VAS score was 87.6±8.1. There was no significant association between studied demographics and clinical characteristics with QoL dimensions. However, post-COVID symptoms of activity limitation (p=0.004), sore throat (p=0.026), headache (p=0.012), myalgia (p=0.006), and arthralgia (p=0.001) were associated with pain/discomfort dimension of QoL. In addition, there was a significant association between activity limitation (p=0.012), headache (p=0.020), myalgia (p=0.015) and arthralgia (p=0.032) with anxiety/depression dimension of QoL. Our data suggested that the presence of post-COVID syndrome (p=0.006) and the presence of post-COVID syndrome symptoms of cough (p=0.021) and fatigue (p=0.015) were associated with the persistent dyspnea. In conclusion, this study suggests that the presence of post-COVID syndrome and its symptoms are associated with low quality of health-related QoL and persistent dyspnea. Therefore, cautions are needed for such patients to prevent low QoL in the future.

Abstract

Persistent symptoms after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, known as post-COVID syndrome (PCS), presented an ongoing health burden among COVID-19 survivors, including health workers. The existence of fatigue in mild COVID-19 survivors has not been widely reported. The aim of this study was to present the symptoms of fatigue in healthcare workers who experienced mild COVID-19 and the factors associated with fatigue. A cross-sectional study was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan, Indonesia, from September to December 2022, included doctors, nurses, ancillary workers, and medical support workers who experienced mild COVID-19. Fatigue was measured by a fatigue assessment scale (FAS). The assessed possible risk factors were gender, age, vaccination history, comorbid, presence of PCS, duration of PCS symptoms, and number of PCS symptoms. The chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test was used to assess the association between the incidence of fatigue and risk factors. A total of 100 healthcare workers of mild COVID-19 survivors were included. Most of them were nurses (58%), women (81%), and aged 19−30 years old (36%). The majority had incomplete vaccination history (64%), experienced PCS (71%), no comorbidities (61%), and experienced <3 months of PCS symptoms (55%). Mild to moderate fatigue was found in 23% of healthcare workers and only 1% experienced severe fatigue. No significant association was found between gender, vaccination history, and comorbidities with the incidence of fatigue. However, a significant association was observed between age (p=0.021), the presence of PCS (p=0.041), and the number of PCS symptoms (p=0.047) with fatigue incidence. Furthermore, there were significant associations between symptoms of PCS (confusion (p=0.004), insomnia (p=0.001), myalgia (p=0.035), arthralgia (p=0.028), throat pain (p=0.042), headache (p=0.042), and chest pain (p=0.011)) with fatigue. These findings can contribute to providing the necessary support for mild COVID-19 survivors and persistent fatigue.

Abstract

Background: Several studies have shown an association among laboratory values, comorbidities, and the severity of COVID-19. This study aimed to find the factors associated with the severity of COVID-19 patients in Adam Malik Hospital. Method: This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects were COVID-19 patients from December 2020 to April 2021 whose data were in the form of secondary data obtained from their medical records. The inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with COVID-19 based on RT-PCR while the exclusion criteria were incomplete medical record data. Statistical analysis was conducted via the following tests Kruskal Wallis Test, Kolmogorov Test, and Chi-Square based on the data category. Results: A total of 110 subjects were enrolled in this study. Most subjects were male (55.45%) with age >40 years old (66.36%). The laboratory values of lymphocyte count, NLR, D-dimer, procalcitonin, ferritin, fibrinogen, and CRP were significantly associated with the severity of COVID-19. Also, there were several comorbidities statistically associated with the severity of COVID-19, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, renal disease, and HIV (p <0.05). Conclusion: Lymphocyte count, NLR, CRP, procalcitonin, D-dimer, fibrinogen, ferritin, and comorbidities including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, HIV, coronary disease, and renal disease, were associated with the severity of COVID-19.

Abstract

Introduction: Approximately 5% of all cases of tuberculosis are extrapulmonary. A rare extrapulmonary variant of the disease is known as perianal tuberculosis, which accounts for 0.001% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases. Case Report: A 28-year-old male presented with intermittent chronic anal pain and purulent discharge from the anal for 6 months, without respiratory complaints. Chest X-Ray examination shows minimal infiltrate on the right lung apex and broncho vascular pattern partially covered with infiltrate. Fistulotomy has been done three times in this patient within 6 months. Colonoscopy examination shows recti polyp, and the histopathology result from biopsy specimen taken from the last fistulotomy is tuberculosis-specific chronic inflammatory process. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus test is negative. This patient has been treated with anti-tuberculosis treatment for 7 months and 2 months after consuming it the wound on the perianal is healing and the patient’s weight is gaining 10 kgs within 7 months. Conclusion: The diagnosis of perianal tuberculosis is challenging, especially in the absence of pulmonary focus. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perianal ulcers and fistulas, mainly in non-healing and recurrent anal lesions, especially in regions where tuberculosis is endemic. Management with anti-tuberculosis treatment can provide complete recovery.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Adherence to TB treatment is a complex and dynamic phenomenon with various interacting factors. The characteristics of loss to follow-up patients include social, clinical, and economic characteristics. The Aim of study was to identify characteristics of loss to follow-up patients in drug-sensitive pulmonary TB in Medan. Method: This research is a descriptive study using a cross-sectional approach. All variables were measured and observed at a time during the study. The study was conducted at RSUP Adam Malik Medan and Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis USU Hospital in loss to follow-up TB patients diagnosed bacteriologically that meet the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. This study used data from medical records and questionnaires. Independent variables include age, gender, educational level, employment, marital status, family history of lung tuberculosis, attitudes to TB treatment, social support, health services, and reasons for loss to follow-up. Results: Out of 40 patients with loss to follow-up pulmonary tuberculosis, the majority were patients in the age range of 45-65 years (n=26.65%), male (n=31.77,5%), equal level of high school education (n = 24.60%) had a fixed job (n=33.82.5%), marital status (n=33.90%), had no family history of lung tuberculosis (n=36.90%), poor attitude to TB treatment (n=36.90%), received low social support (n=51.52,5%), and received less supported health care services (n<33.82,5%). Reasons patients TB SO quit taking medication presented in this study vary, among others due to the side effects of TB drugs, patients choosing herbal drugs, already feeling healthy, laziness consuming TB medication, being embarrassed with pulmonary TB disease, not taking lung TB drugs because no one carries or has no transportation costs. Conclusion: The majority of patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis who quit their medication in the fields are between 46 and 65 years of age, male sex, high school graduates of equal degree, have a fixed job, marital status, have no family history of TB, have an inferior attitude to TB treatment, receive low social support, and receive less supportive health services. Reasons for loss to follow-up for SO TB patients vary, including TB drug effects, clinical, and economic.
