Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) has infected more than one billion people worldwide. Waste collectors are at risk for STH infection because their work mostly in contact with soil and waste. Eosinophilia is a sign of human immune response to STH infection in addition to increased IgE and cytokine production. This cross sectional study aims to examine the association between STH infection and eosinophil levels among waste collectors in Banda Aceh. The study sample were 60 waste collectors working for the Sanitation department of Banda Aceh. Examination of stool samples using Kato-Katz technique revealed the prevalence of STH infection among waste collectors was 23.3% (14/60), consisting of T.trichiura infection (21.7%) and mixed infection (1.6%). There were no single infections of A. lumbricoides nor the hookworm infection was found. Blood tests to count eosinophil showed the prevalence of eosinophilia at 21.7%. There was no significant correlation between the intensity of STH infection and eosinophil levels (p value = 1.00). This study does not recommend the use of eosinophilia to indicate STH infection.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is the biggest cause of death and disability in the world. Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke caused by the formation of atherosclerosis in the brain. Abnormal levels of lipids in the body, especially low density lipoprotein (LDL), cause the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that also affect the functional outcome of ischemic stroke. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between LDL levels and the functional outcome of ischemic stroke at RSUDZA Banda Aceh. Methods: This research is a cross sectional study using purposive sampling which was analyzed by Fisher's test. Samples were 40 ischemic stroke patients in the RSUDZA neurosurgery ward who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were obtained from medical records to see LDL levels and interviews to assess the patient's functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale score. Results: There were 32 patients with abnormal LDL levels and all of them had poor functional outcome (100%) with a p value of 0.000 (p<0.05). Discussion: The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between LDL levels and the functional outcome of ischemic stroke in RSUDZA. Keywords: Ischaemic stroke, low density lipoprotein. functional outcome.
