Abstract

Sarcoptes scabiei (Dee Geer) is the mite that causes scabies or mange. The mites live in the skin layers of humans and mammals. Nowadays, S. scabiei is classified according to their hospes and S. scabiei that lives in human is called Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Controlling and eradicating human scabies, especially at the community level, requires understanding scabies as a pathogen and its interaction with humans. This paper discusses the biology of S. scabiei var. hominis and the interactions between mites and humans as hosts.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a prevalent health issues in developing countries and often linked to soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). This study aims to investigate the association between STH and diarrhea in Perobatang, Southwest Sumba. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Perobatang, January 2017. Participants were children aged 1–15 years. Stool samples were collected from each child and examined macroscopically for signs of diarrhea and microscopically for STH eggs. Positive cases were treated with albendazole 400 mg. Result: A total of 333 samples were analyzed and 257 children were infected with STH (77%). The prevalence of A. lumbricoides was 56%, T. trichiura was 55%, and hookworm was 5%. Mixed infections were more common in children 6–15 years. 92 children (28%) had diarrhea. There is an association between the STH infection (combination of all three worm species) and diarrhea incidence (chi-square test, p=0.041). However, there is no association between the prevalence of single infections or the combination of two worm species and diarrhea incidence. Conclusion: STH infections are associated with incidence of diarrhea in Perobatang, Sumba Barat Daya. This finding highlights the necessity for targeted, community- based interventions by local stakeholders to effectively address and mitigate this public health challenge.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection, frequently caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), often gives rise to malabsorption of nutrients that form hemoglobin (Hb) thereby causing anemia. This study aimed to know the difference in erythrocyte profile in children with and without STH infections. METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 205 children from two Panimbang Jaya elementary schools in Pandeglang, Banten, Indonesia. Blood and stool samples were collected from a previous study conducted from November 2021 to May 2022. Erythrocyte parameters were Hb concentration, erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular Hb (MCH), and red cell distribution width (RDW). The iron profile included serum iron, total iron-biding capacity (TIBC), and ferritin. Worm infestation was detected by direct stool microscopical examination. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 20. RESULTS The prevalence of STH infection in Pandeglang was 44.4%, primarily characterized by mild intensity STH infection (79%). The identified STH species were A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura, and combination of both. The median differences between erythrocyte count, MCV, and MCH, and the mean differences of TIBC and serum iron were not statistically significant (p = 0.388, 0.098, and 0.057, and p = 0.304 and 0.455). However, children with STH infection had lower Hb (12.57 versus 12.95 g/dl) and ferritin (19.60 versus 30.57 µg/dl) levels but higher RDW (13.20 versus 13.10%). CONCLUSIONS A high prevalence of STH infection was identified among schoolchildren, but their erythrocyte profiles were similar regardless of STH infection status.

Abstract

Scabies is one of the most neglected tropical skin diseases in Indonesia. It is usually found in overcrowded communities with poor hygiene. The gold standard for scabies treatment is the whole-body topical application of 5% permethrin cream. However, the treatment causes inconvenience and stickiness for a prolonged period. The modification of topical treatment by applying only to the lesion yielded results similar with whole-body topical application. We consider using this mode of treatment to control the disease in a boarding school. The study was conducted from June to August 2019. All students were examined by dermatologists, and individuals who were diagnosed with scabies were treated using 5% permethrin for 12 h before wash-off (week 0) applied on the lesion only and reapplied a week after. The evaluation was conducted on weeks 4 and 8 by observing scabies lesions. Local health cadres were also trained, and environmental interventions were also performed. A total of 75 participants were analyzed. Most lesions were found on predilection sites such as finger web spaces of the left (57.3%) and right (58.7%) hands, gluteal region (60%), and penis (40%). The cure rate (CR) was 83%–100% of the lesions in week 4, which increased to 95%–100% in week 8. The CR on week 8 compared with baseline was 94.7% (p < 0.001). A total of 23 cadres were trained, and from post-test, 84% of the cadres showed good knowledge of scabies management. This novel application of 5% permethrin cream on the lesion only is an effective alternative to the conventional whole-body topical application.
