Abstract

Background & Objective: Fungal infections of the scalp, particularly tinea capitis, are a common health problem in environments with poor hygiene, such as Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren). This study aims to identify the types of fungi infecting the scalps of male santri who regularly wear the peci (a traditional cap) at the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Boarding School in Kebagusan, Ampelgading, Pemalang. Method: The study used a descriptive method with a laboratory approach, involving culture on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) medium and microscopic examination for fungal identification. Result: Out of 20 scalp scraping samples analyzed, 75% showed positive results for fungal infection. The most dominant fungus found was Aspergillus sp., while Candida sp. was found in only one sample (5%). No infections by Trichophyton or Microsporum were detected. Questionnaire results supported the laboratory findings, indicating that only 10.8% of santri regularly shampooed their hair, 13.5% washed their peci periodically, and 35.1% reported symptoms of scalp itching. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the habit of wearing the peci without proper hygiene maintenance can be a significant risk factor for scalp fungal infections. Therefore, preventive efforts through personal hygiene education and routine examinations are needed to reduce the incidence of fungal infections in the pesantren environment.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Skin fungus caused by Dermatopyta is called dermatophytosis. The causative fungi are Tricopyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. Dermatophyta is a group of fungi that attach to keratinous tissue, such as the stratum corneum of the skin, nails, and human hair. These fungi can cause damage to living cells by activating the immune system. Stroke patients have difficulty fulfilling their daily needs, such as maintaining personal hygiene, which increases their risk of infection with Dermatophyta sp. fungi. This study aims to identify dermatophyte fungi in stroke patients in Kandeman subdistrict, Batang regency. Method: This study used a descriptive design with a sample of 17 stroke patients in Kandeman subdistrict, Batang regency. Dermatophyte fungi were examined using a media culture method. Result: The examination results showed that all samples were negative for Dermatophyta fungi. The factors supporting these negative results were that most patients still practiced good personal hygiene, such as showering twice a day, ensuring their bodies were completely dry, maintaining excessive dryness, and not experiencing itching on their bodies. This prevented the growth of Dermatophyta fungi in the armpits. Conclusion: In conclusion, there was no Dermatophyta sp. fungal infection among stroke patients in Kandeman Subdistrict, Batang Regency.
