Abstract

Introduction: The main causes of MDR TB include interperson transmission and TB treatment failure. In addition to TB, HIV and diabetes mellitus may raise the risk of TB MDR. To determine the TB MDR risk factors, it's critical to understand the prevalence of TB MDR patients with TB, HIV, and diabetes mellitus histories.Methods: This study is an observational descriptive study with a retrospective design. The sample for this study was all patients from the TB and MDR-TB polyclinic at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in January 2020–December 2020 who met the inclusion criteria. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively.Results: There were 72 patients who met the criteria: there were 26 patients who have a history of TB, 15 patients who only have a history of diabetes mellitus, 2 patients who only have a history of HIV, 27 patients who have a history of TB with diabetes mellitus, and 2 patients who have a history of TB with HIV.Conclusion: The data could support the theory of an association between MDR-TB with TB, HIV, and diabetes mellitus and increase the awareness of primary MDR TB cases with history of HIV and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. A study on the medical benefits of Selaginella plana has significant academic value due to its extensive traditional usage among the Moluccan people as a medicinal remedy, especially for its antifungal properties.2. The findings of this study will allow further screening to determine the mechanism of action of bioactive compounds in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans   Abstract Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection caused by Candida albicans. This infection commonly affects the skin, oral mucosa, vagina, and gastrointestinal tract. Excessive use of azole antifungals in the treatment of Candida albicans infections can lead to the development of resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative treatments using medicinal plants such as Selaginella plana, commonly referred to as “rutu-rutu” in a local language spoken across Maluku, Indonesia. Selaginella plana contains active compounds belonging to various chemical classes, including terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and saponins. This study aimed to determine the ability of Selaginella plana extract as an antifungal agent against Candida albicans by evaluating its inhibitory and antifungal effects. This study used an actual experimental design and broth dilution method. The research methodology involved the extraction of Selaginella plana using a solvent of 96% ethanol. The extract was then prepared in various concentrations, i.e., 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%. Additionally, ketoconazole and distilled water were included in the experiment for the positive and negative controls, respectively. The results of this study demonstrated that Selaginella plana extract inhibited the growth of Candida albicans when administered starting at a concentration of 12.5%. However, the antifungal potential of Selaginella plana extract that induced cell death was only observed at a concentration of 100%. The fungicidal activity was exclusively identified in the undiluted, pure extract. The inhibitory and cytotoxic effects of Selaginella plana on Candida albicans cells were attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds in Selaginella plana, including flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and saponins. These bioactive compounds had the ability to inhibit cell growth by altering membrane permeability, causing mitochondrial dysfunction, and disrupting ergosterol biosynthesis. It can be concluded that Selaginella plana extract can act as a fungistatic agent against the proliferation of Candida albicans.

Abstract

This study was intended to invent a simpler and more affordable method to establish diagnosis on Tuberculosis (TB) and Latent Tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Similar to "Quantiferon TB Gold In Tube” (QFT-GIT) and T.SPOT.TB methods, the researchers also utilized "early secreted antigenic target 6kDa” (ESAT-6) and "cultur filtrate protein 10kDa” (CFP-10) proteins to be induced on the specimen. ESAT-6 and CFP-10 are commercial products used to induce interferon gamma (INF-γ) which were to be read using sophisticated and expensive equipment. This study was intended to conduct an analysis on effective cocktail protein modification, i.e. ESAT-6, CFP-10 and Ag85A/B/C, with high validity to detect cellular immunity activity through in vitro examination on peripheral blood monocyte cells of Tuberculosis-suspected patients or patients with latent tuberculosis infection. Peripheral Blood Monocyte Cells (PBMCs) activity on children tuberculosis patient or Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI), adult tuberculosis patient or LTBI, which induced by cocktail protein modification and not induced, were analyzed microscopically. The activity of PBMCs on children and adult tuberculosis patient or LTBI induced by RD1 secretory proteins: ESAT-6, CFP-10, Ag85A/B/C was higher compared to PBMCs which had not been induced by the secretory proteins. Cellular debris and monocyte cells with abnormal shapes were found on PBMCs which had been induced by RD1 secretory proteins at 8 th day after culture.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections in pediatric patients characterized by the growth of bacteria in the urine in significant numbers. Antibiotics remain the primary treatment of UTI in children. However, there has been an increase in antibiotic resistance to uropathogens worldwide due to their inappropriate and extensive uses. There is considerable geographical variation in the distribution of bacteria and antibiotic resistance pattern. Thus, to prevent further resistance and provide empirical antibiotic options, this study aims to determine the profile of bacteria and antibiotics resistance pattern among UTI pediatric patients in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. This study was performed by collecting data from the urine culture logbook at the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of Dr. Soetomo Hospital in July-October 2019. The sample was UTI patients aged one day – 18 years due to bacterial infection with a colony count of   ≥100,000 CFU/ml. In this study, 131 patients showed significant bacterial growth dominated by males and ages one month – 2 years. UTI were caused by gram-negative bacteria (74%) and gram-positive bacteria (26%), with the most bacteria found in each group were Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. E. coli showed ≥70% resistance to ampicillin, cefazoline, piperacillin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Comorbidities were dominated by hydronephrosis (10.98%), chronic kidney disease (9.79%) and hydrocephalus (8.09%). In conclusion, gram-negative bacteria were the leading cause of UTI in children with E. coli as the most common uropathogen, highly resistant to ampicillin and cefazolin. Gram-positive bacteria were less frequent with varied resistance patterns. Most common comorbidity was hydronephrosis.

Abstract

Background: Pityriasis versicolor (PV) or tinea versicolor is a superficial fungal infection characterized by macules on the skin. It is generally caused by the fungus Malassezia. PV is found throughout the world, especially in tropical countries. Generally, this infection is influenced by humidity, hyperhidrosis, and population density around the world. One of the ways to establish PV is through the KOH examination. Purpose: Evaluating the correlation between the clinical and demographic factors and the duration of illness of outpatient PV patients of the Mycology Division of Dermatology and Venereology Department at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital from 2018 to 2020. Methods: This is an observational analytic study based on medical records at the outpatient clinic of Mycology Division of the Dermatology and Venereology Department of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. The data was collected in October 2021. The chi-square test is used to analyze the data in this study. Result: 216 PV patients' data was collected. Most gender was male, most age group was 20-60, most weight group was 51 – 60 kg, most regional origin was from Surabaya, and most duration of infection was <3 months. In this study, topical and systemic treatment of this disease had a significant relationship with patients' duration of illness (topical p=0.05; systemic p=0.026). Conclusion:  Topical and systemic treatment of this disease has a significant relationship with the duration of illness in PV patients.

Abstract

Patients with autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatic diseases, have their own concerns regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Their concerns are specifically related to the physicological response, side effects, and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccination. COVID-19 and autoimmune diseases share some similarities in their clinical manifestations, immune responses, and pathogenic mechanisms. The correlation between COVID-19 vaccination and autoimmune diseases can be attributed to epitope mimicry, where the antigen contained in the vaccine has a structural similarity to self-antigen. The purpose of this literature review was to discuss the various types of vaccines, the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination, and the effect of autoimmune patients' medication on the administration of the COVID-19 vaccination. According to several articles obtained in this study, most autoimmune patients typically experienced mild to moderate side effects. It was not advised for these patients to stop treatment before receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, as doing so was unlikely to affect the vaccine's effectiveness or the patients' immune response. The condition of the autoimmune patients was what influenced the immune response mediated by antibodies. Therefore, the COVID-19 vaccination must be administered when the patients are in a stable condition. In conclusion, it was determined that there is no restriction preventing autoimmune patients from receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. However, it should be noted that autoimmune patients are not recommended to receive live vaccines.   Highlights: 1. This study reviewed the concerns of autoimmune patients over the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination on their prescribed medication. 2. It is advisable for autoimmune patients to refrain from obtaining live-attenuated vaccines because of their potential effect on the immune response.

Abstract

Dermatophytosis, the most common fungal infection in humans, significantly impacts quality of life due to its clinical and cosmetic effects. Its high prevalence underscores the need to evaluate patient profiles to improve management strategies.  This study aim is to identify the most prevalent type of dermatophytosis, patient demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory investigations, and therapy in dermatophytosis into the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of dermatophytosis in a tropical, high-burden region. This descriptive retrospective study used total sampling of medical records of dermatophytosis patients from January 2017 to December 2022.  Tinea corporis and tinea cruris was the most common, while tinea manuum is the least common dermatophytosis. Female adults were the most affected group. Common clinical features for each type included alopecia for tinea capitis, erythematous macules for other types, and nail dystrophy for tinea unguium. Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the commonest pathogen in 2017. Most of the therapies followed Clinical Practice Guidelines with extensive use of griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream. Further research should explore therapeutic outcomes, preventive measures, and factors influencing recurrence and adherence to treatment.

Abstract

Indonesia is the second highest tuberculosis (TB)-burden country in the world. TB affects men and women in productive ages. Early and accurate diagnosis of TB is crucial in TB management because it allows prompt treatment with appropriate regimen. Sputum smear microscopy is the most common method used in resource-limited laboratories. The aim of this study is to assess whether adult learning method with student-centered approach can improve knowledge in laboratory techniques in microscopic TB diagnosis. It was a quasi experimental research with one group pretest and posttest design. Pretest was conducted before the training started. During the training, participants attended lectures, discussion sessions, and hands-on laboratory activities. After training, participants were asked to respond to posttest. There were 33 participants of this training (n=33). Paired t-test analysis showed significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p=6.5x10-9). Variance between pretest scores was 4.00 and variance between posttest scores were 1.34. Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.45. Regardless their level of knowledge before training, participants could achieve relatively equivalent results after training. Significant difference between pre- and post-training test scores indicated that the learning method was effective and the training could improve participants knowledge in laboratory techniques in microscopic TB diagnosis.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, mainly in the age of 0-5 years old (toddlers). Several risk factors make toddlers more prone to TB infection. Although it commonly depends on clinical evidence, diagnosis of toddler TB can be done using microbiological confirmation like GeneXpert MTB/RIF Assay. However, this is still challenging to perform due to the low bacterial loads and difficulties in obtaining specimens. While prior studies focused more on the clinical aspects, this study will determine both the clinical and microbiological profiles of toddler TB patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya. This study was conducted using a retrospective approach. Samples were obtained using a total sampling technique from electronic medical records from January 2018 to September 2023. Variables collected include age, gender, type of TB, BCG vaccination status, history of household contact, nutritional status, symptoms, and GeneXpert MTB/RIF examination specimens and results. Among 125 toddler TB patients, the majority being female (57%), between the ages of 1–2 (45%), had BCG vaccination (86%), and without a history of household contact (63%). Most of the samples were malnourished (56%) and had cough as the symptom (62%). In GeneXpert MTB/RIF examination, gastric aspirate was the most collected specimen (52%) and the most common result found was negative (70%). In addition, two toddler patients were found to have DR-TB. In conclusion, while GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay predominantly resulted in negative, clinical features become the essential evidence to establish a diagnosis of tuberculosis among toddler patients.

Abstract

Blood culture is an essential examination for establishing the diagnosis of bloodstream infection (BSI) in critically ill children, as it enables the detection of causative pathogens and guides appropriate antimicrobial therapy. This study aims to examine the association between positive blood culture results and disease severity in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). A literature review was conducted by searching articles in PubMed, Google Scholar, NCBI, and ScienceDirect over the past 15 years, which were then selected based on topic relevance and methodological quality. Analysis of ten studies revealed that positive blood cultures were strongly associated with increased mortality, longer hospital stay, and a higher incidence of multiple organ dysfunction. Frequently reported risk factors included younger age, the use of central venous catheters, immunocompromised conditions, and infections caused by drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Parameters such as time to positivity (TTP), procalcitonin levels, and organ dysfunction scores (PELOD-2) were identified as important prognostic indicators reflecting infection severity. Thus, a positive blood culture serves not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a crucial prognostic marker for risk stratification and clinical decision-making in critically ill children.
