Abstract

Fungal infections due to dermatophytes are often referred to as "Tinea". There are 3 genus which causes of dermatophytosis, among others are Trichophyton sp, Epidermophyton sp and Microsporum sp. The purpose of this study was to find out the profile of dermatophytosis-causing microorganisms in all patients in Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang. Samples are all patients with diagnosis of suspected dermatophytosis in Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang period January 2016 - December 2016. This research was descriptive research with Cross Sectional design. The sample was all patients with diagnosis of suspected dermatophytosis at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang period January 2016 - December 2016. Research phase starting from pre analytic, analytic and post analytic stage. The results showed that the percentage of patients with dermatophytosis was more prevalent in female patients (53%) than in men (47%). Most dermatophytosis patients with tinea corporis diagnosis were 35% and tinea capitis was 29%, while for tinea pedis was 21%, tinea cruris was 12% and tinea unguium was 3%. The most dermatophyte fungi isolated are Microsporum canis 32%, Trichophyton mentagrophytes 18%, Microsporum audiounii 6%, Trichophyton rubrum 3%, Trichophyton tonsurans 3%. Microsporum canis is the most cause of dermatophytosis in Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang.

Abstract

Date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera) is a fruit that has many benefits such as antioxidant,anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer effects. Dates also contain phytochemicals such aspolyphenols (flavonoids, isoflavones, lignin and phenolic acids), tannins, carotenoids, andsterols. This study aims to determine the activity of ciprofloxacin and dates (Phoenixdactylifera) against gram negative bacteria.This is an experimental laboratory research with a post-test only control groupdesign. Bacterial activity was assessed based on the diameter of the inhibition zone in MullerHinton agar with Kirby Bauer method. The gram-negative bacteria tested were Escherichiacoli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from clinical isolates that had been identified using VITEK®2. The concentration of the test bacteria was 0.5 Mac Farlan. The dates extract used wasAjwa dates extract ripe at 100% concentration using the socletation method with methanolsolvent. The test group was divided into 3 groups, namely the ciprofloxacin group only, theciprofloxacin group and the date palm extract, the date palm extract group only.There is no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the activity of ciprofloxacin andciprofloxacin with date palm extract against E. coli and Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria.There was no difference in the activity of ciprofloxacin or ciprofloxacin with theaddition of Ajwa date extract.

Abstract

Microbe-based infection transmission commonly occurs through hands, as hands harbor both normal microbiota and pathogenic microorganisms. The use of hand sanitizer is preferred by the public due to its practicality compared to handwashing. However, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause irritation and dryness of the skin. The availability of natural ingredient-based hand sanitizers remains limited. This study aims to analyze the difference in effectiveness between aloe vera-based hand sanitizer and 70% alcohol hand sanitizer in reducing the number of microorganism colonies on hands. This experimental study employed a Pre-Post Test Group Design. Samples were consecutively sampled from medical students at Sultan Agung Islamic University, Semarang, using the glove juice method, with 20 samples per group. The percentage reduction in microorganism colony counts between the aloe vera-based hand sanitizer group and the 70% alcohol group was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that the mean effectiveness in reducing microorganism colony counts after using alcohol-based hand sanitizer was 59.2%, while that of the aloe vera-based hand sanitizer was 37.97%. The Mann-Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). There is a significant difference in the effectiveness of aloe vera-based hand sanitizer compared to 70% alcohol hand sanitizer in reducing microorganism colony counts on hands. The 70% alcohol-based hand sanitizer was found to be more effective than the aloe vera-based formulation.
