Abstract

Background: Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital is the main referral hospital in West Java, Indonesia, treating yearly 1.000 tuberculosis cases of whom most  are in severe condition. The severity of the disease is probably affected by the poor patient’s health seeking behavior.The objective of this study was to assess the pattern of patients with tuberculosis’s health seeking behavior before being treated in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.Methods: A descriptive study was  carried out in November 2012 on 56 patients in the Drug Observed Treatment Shortcourse (DOTS) Clinic at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) to assess the number and type of health services visited prior to RSHS. The inclusion criteria were patients who were diagnosed with TB for the first time, aged at least 19 years old. The data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire and presented as percentage.Results: A total of 32 respondents (57%) sought for initial treatment by going to professional health care centers (the medical doctors, puskesmas, or hospitals), the rests sought for traditional treatment (7%), self-treatment (29%), or no medication prior to the treatment at RSHS (7%). Fifty five percent of respondents did more than one type of health seeking behavior. The average time between the first complaint until the respondents got treatment was 5 months.Conclusions: The patients with tuberculosis’s treatment seeking behavior is various prior to the treatment at RSHS and there are still patients who seek treatments  to the non-profesional health care. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n3.490

Abstract

Background: The efficacy of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) therapy is still being questioned. It has lesser quality, longer duration therapy and high toxicity level. This study was conducted to identify clinical characteristics and side effect of MDR TB therapy at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia as the top referral hospital in West Java. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was performed to 142 medical records of MDR TB inpatient and outpatient at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from January 2012–July 2013. Data was collected on October–November 2013. Data about clinical characteristics and side effects of MDR TB therapy were collected and was analyzed in the form of percentage.Results: From 142 patients, 96% had history of tuberculosis therapy. Eighty (56%) of them had positive acid fast bacilli (AFB) sputum that still remained after 5th month or more with category 2. Seventy (49%) patients used combination of pyrazinamide, capreomycin, levofloxacin, ethionamide and cycloserine (Pz-Cm-Lfx-Eto-Cs). All patients experienced side effects during therapy and the majority of them (91%) had gastroenteropathy and rheumatism. Tentamen suicide was detected in one patient. Conclusions: The MDR TB patients had history of tuberculosis therapy. The majority of patients used combination of Pz-Cm-Lfx-Eto-Cs. All patients experienced side effects during MDR TB therapy.
