Abstract

Blastocystis spp. is the most common enteric parasitic infection found in several community surveys from developing countries. Blastocystis infections may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but also cause extraintestinal symptoms such as urticaria and joint pain. Blastocystis infection can also be asymptomatic or a carrier. However, the prevalence of Blastocystis infection in children has not yet been fully investigated in Indonesia, particularly in Bali Province. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Blastocystis and other intestinal parasites in elementary school children stools in Dukuh village, Karangasem regency. A cross sectional study was conducted in September 2016. A total of 103 school children stools were collected by informed consent and parasites were examined by microscopy with wet mounts method using Lugol's iodine solution. Thirty-five school children were infected with Blastocystis spp. (35/103, 34%) that consisted of a single infection (29/35, 82.9%) and mix infection with other parasites (6/35, 17.1%). The mix infections were Blastocystis spp. and hookworm infection (1/6, 16.7%), Blastocystis spp. and Entamoeba coli (1/6, 16.7%), Blastocystis spp. and Giardia lamblia (2/6, 33.3%), Blastocystis spp. and Entamoeba histolytica/ Entamoeba dispar (1/6, 16.7%) and Blastocystis spp. and Entamoeba histolytica/ Entamoeba dispar and Giardia lamblia (1/6, 16.7%). The vacuolar forms of Blastocystis were dominantly found, in which was non-infectious form, whereas the infectious form is the cyst form and Blastocystis density was observed less than 5 cells per field of view at 400 magnification in all cases. This study concluded that the high prevalence of Blastocystis infection in elementary school children in Dukuh Village, Karangasem District, Bali that were dominantly single infections and several mix infections with other intestinal parasites. The high prevalence of Blastocystis infection in elementary school children suggested that it needs proper prevention measures for the children in this study area.

Abstract

The rise in dengue fever in recent decades combined with the emergence of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, has created new challenges in the healthcare sector. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design and using medical record data at Udayana University Hospital in 2020–2021. According to the study, 1.22% cases of misdiagnosis out of a total of 2365 suspected cases of COVID-19 were found at Udayana University. The majority of cases of misdiagnosis involved people older than 60 years, namely 7 people (24.1%) and were dominated by men, namely 17 people (58.6%). The most common symptoms found are fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache, and malaise, According to laboratory results, dominant patients have thrombocytopenia, followed by high alanine transaminase (ALT), high aspartate transaminase (AST), and leukopenia. The appearance of thrombocytopenia in cases of COVID-19 with dengue fever is the result of suppressed platelet synthesis due to virus induction which causes bone marrow suppression and platelet clearance. Leukopenia and leukocytosis may coexist with lymphopenia as an indicator of disease severity. The similarity of symptoms and laboratory results between COVID-19 and dengue fever allows for misdiagnosis that will affect the patient's management. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the misdiagnosis rate of COVID-19 with dengue fever at Udayana University Hospital in 2020–2021, so that it can reduce misdiagnosis of the disease.

Abstract

Filariasis limfatik merupakan infectious disease dengan status menularkan cacing filaria dari kondisi inang manusia sakit menuju kondisi inang manusia sehat melalui gigitan vektor nyamuk. Masyarakat dengan tingkat pengetahuan yang rendah mengalami peningkatan jumlah kasus filariasis limfatik dibandingkan masyarakat dengan tingkat pengetahuan yang tinggi. Aktivitas perdagangan di area pasar tradisional selama 12-24 jam mengakibatkan pedagang rentan mengabaikan tindakan pencegahan filariasis limfatik. Penelitian dilaksanakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan tindakan pencegahan primer mengenai filariasis limfatik pada pedagang di Pasar Badung. Pelaksanaan penelitian dimulai dari bulan Mei sampai bulan Desember 2024. Jenis rancangan penelitian yang digunakan oleh peneliti adalah penelitian observasional seperti penelitian deskriptif dan penelitian cross-sectional analitik. Populasi penelitian meliputi pedagang di area Pasar Badung dengan total sampel penelitian sebesar 70 orang dan teknik pengambilan sampel penelitian melalui purposive sampling. Peneliti mengumpulkan data penelitian secara offline melalui kuesioner dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian melalui uji kendall’s tau-b menyatakan variabel pengetahuan dan variabel tindakan pencegahan primer memiliki nilai r hitung sebesar 0,734 sehingga nilai r hitung > nilai r tabel atau nilai 0,734 > nilai 0,2352. Nilai r hitung lebih besar dibandingkan dengan nilai r tabel mengakibatkan peneliti dapat menciptakan kesimpulan dalam bentuk ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan tindakan pencegahan primer mengenai filariasis limfatik pada pedagang di Pasar Badung.

Abstract

Depression is one of the most common health problems among inmates at institutions penitentiary (prison) which can be caused by various factors. This depression screening activity aims to detect mental disorders in inmates at the Kerobokan prison so that they can receive treatment immediately before moving on to a more severe phase. The measurement tool used for early detection of depression is the depression anxiety and stress scale (DASS), which has been measured for its validation and reliability. The DASS questionnaire measures the respondent's history of disorders related to depression, anxiety, and stress in the past week. The number of inmates who came to fill out the questionnaire was 96 people. Most are aged 18-40 years, come from outside Bali, have high school-college education, are single, have convict status, do not see their families regularly, and have been in prison for less than 12 months. Most of the inmates are not in a state of depression, anxiety, or stress. In conclusion, mental health screening activities for inmates of the institution penitentiary should be routinely done to prevent more severe mental disorders.
