Abstract

BackgroundSoil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection can cause malnutrition and vice versa, and decrease serum zinc concentrations. No previous studies were found on the effect of STH treatment on serum zinc concentrations in elementary school children. The objective of this study was to evalaute the effect of STH treatment on serum zinc concentration in elementary school children in Jakarta. MethodsA pre-experimental study (one group pre and post) was conducted on 3rd - 5th grade students in one elementary school in North Jakarta. FLOTAC examination was used to determine infection status and STH intensity, while serum zinc concentrations were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. All children were given albendazole 400 mg for three consecutive days. Stool and blood samples were collected before and three weeks after treatment with albendazole. A paired t test was used to analyze the data. ResultsThe STH prevalence was 63.4%; these were mainly Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura infections. Before treatment, children infected with A.lumbricoides and T.trichiura had significantly higher serum zinc concentrations (p=0.028; p=0.014). After treatment, children with A.lumbricoides had significantly lower serum zinc concentrations (p=0.039), while children with T.trichiura had slightly lower serum zinc concentrations (p=0.659) than before treatment. ConclusionsAlbendazole treatment produces lower serum zinc concentration in elementary school children with A.lumbricoides infections. A profound understanding of the interaction between helminth infections and zinc may assist in guiding integrated and sustainable intervention strategies among affected children throughout the world.

This study is a diagnostic examination performed on primary school children. It was conducted in March 2013 in   Kalibaru village, Cilincing Sub-District, North Jakarta. Stool samples were examined using the Kato-Katz  and Mini FLOTAC methods on day 7,14, and 21 after the administration of a single dose of 400 mg albendazole. Of the 209 study subjects, 197 subjects were willing to participate. Before treatment, the sensitivity and the NPV (negative predictive value) against A. lumbricoides infection were 94%,96%, respectively for Kato-Katz and 81%, 88%, respectively for Mini FLOTAC. For T. trichiura, sensitivity and the NPV of Kato-Katz were 88%, 92%, respectively,while for Mini FLOTAC both values were 100%. Kappa value of agreement between Kato-Katz and Mini FLOTAC techniques was 0.773 for the diagnosis of A. lumbricoides infection and 0.895 for T. trichiura. For Ascaris, 19.79% versus 25.88% of infected children have light infection by Kato-Katz and Mini FLOTAC, respectively. For Trichuris, 34.51% versus 42.13% of infected children have light infection with Kato-Katz and Mini FLOTAC, respectively. After the treatment was given,  Kato-Katz  was more sensitive compared to Mini FLOTAC in detecting A. lumbricoides infection, especially at day 7 and day 14. On the contrary, Mini FLOTAC was more sensitive in detecting T. trichiura infection. The Mini FLOTAC technique can be used as an alternative for Kato-Katz in detecting  helminth infections. Mini FLOTAC was more sensitive to detect T. trichiura compared to Kato-Katz.  Keywords  :  Kato-Katz, Mini FLOTAC, Albendazole, Soil transmitted helminthes

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections (Necator americanus (hookworm), Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworm), and Ascaris lumbricoides) can lead to anemia, malnutrition, and iron deficiency. Traditionally, STH infections have been diagnosed using microscopy to detect eggs in human fecal samples. However, there are several limitations of this method. The aim of this research was to detect the percentage of submicroscopic STH infections from human fecal samples (children, 5–18 years old) in Nangapanda, Ende, using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The fecal samples were collected in two time periods, which were before and after treatment, using 400 mg of Albendazole. There were 242 samples in total, but only 45 negative samples from microscopic detection were tested with real-time PCR. The DNA samples were isolated and amplified wih primers of internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1 and ITS-2) region of rDNA. The detection of samples with real-time PCR generated an amplification curve in VIC, FAM, and Texas Red fluorophore. Three samples (6.7%) in pre-treatment were low load of DNA (N. americanus and A. lumbricoides) (Ct > 35). Four samples (9.1%) were low load of DNA (N. americanus) (Ct > 35) in post-treatment. Five samples (11.4%) were moderate load of DNA (A. lumbricoides) (30 < Ct < 35) in post-treatment. This study showed that real-time PCR could detect submicroscopic infections from specific species of hookworm and A. lumbricoides

Abstract

Studies on lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Indonesia have mostly focused on the disease determinants with limited focus on spatial-based and the determinants of implementing ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine citrate, and albendazole (IDA). This study aimed to identify the causes of program failure. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November to December 2022 in nine urban villages with high endemic records and one sentinel village in Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia. The analysis using Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS) and Pearson correlation. Slum settlements were linked to the presence of open sewers (p=0.000; r=0.974) and overcrowding (p=0.033; r=0.672), while the first round of IDA medication adherence correlated with knowledge of medication (p=0.054; r=-0.623) and willingness to take the medication in the second round (p=0.051, r=0.603). Adverse effects of the treatment are strongly correlated with drug boredom from taking medication (p=0.003; r=0.828) and assistance from health workers (p=0.027; r=0.791). We identified gaps in slum settlements, open sewers, overcrowding and medication adherence, including low knowledge of medication, unwillingness to take second-round medication, adverse effects, and boredom with taking medication. We recommend effective strategies by engaging health education between health workers, local leaders, and private sectors as key to ensuring elimination program.

Abstract

Background Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection is a major health problem in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). The presence and activity of STH can cause changes in the intestinal mucosa, including cell damage that can affect intestinal permeability and stimulate immune responses such as inflammation. Objective To assess the inflammatory and permeability status of the intestinal mucosa in various STH infections in preschool-age children residing in Nangapanda District, Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Methods In this cross-sectional study, stool samples were obtained from children aged 12-59 months and examined for worm eggs using the Kato Katz method. Concentrations of biomarkers for intestinal permeability and inflammation were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We measured fecal alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) as an intestinal permeability biomarker and fecal calprotectin (FC) as an intestinal inflammation biomarker and evaluated the association between these biomarkers with STH infection. Results The prevalence of STH infection in 111 evaluated preschool-age children was 17.1%. Ascaris lumbricoides was the predominant species, followed by Trichuris trichiura. Most subjects (64.7%) had AAT levels >0.27 mg/g, while only 35.1% had FC >50 mg/kg. STH infection status was not significantly associated with AAT concentration status, even when analyzed by STH species. A significant association was found only between T. trichiura infection and FC concentration. In this study, which included infected and uninfected groups, children infected with T. trichiura had higher concentrations of FC than those uninfected. Conclusion STH infection was not significantly correlated with fecal biomarkers except between T. trichiura infection status and increased gut inflammatory biomarker. AAT levels were generally elevated in the evaluated preschool-aged population regardless of STH infection, indicating that other factors may have contributed to increased gut permeability.
