Abstract

Family support is the attitude, action, and acceptance of the family towards its members. One of the functions of the family is to support the health care of other family members. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system of CD4+ cells, and if not treated immediately, the patient will fall into an AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) condition. HIV/AIDS patients need support from both social and family. The incidence of HIV/AIDS in West Java during 2019 was ranked third in Indonesia, which was 6,066 patients. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between family support with patient’s sexual behavior and adherence to taking antiretroviral drugs. The research method used is an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was HIV patients who are members of Community "A" Bandung, with a total of 51 respondents. Statistical analysis showed that there was a correlation between family support and sexual behavior of HIV/AIDS patients (p=0.013), however, there was no correlation between family support and antiretroviral adherence (p= 0.12). In conclusion, family support is related to sexual behavior, but not related to adherence to taking antiretrovirals in HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare disorder caused by failure or abnormalities in erythropoiesis only, among all cell lines of the bone marrow. Patients with PRCA usually present with no specific clinical presentation, thus its recognition depends on a clinician’s high index of suspicion, to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment to provide a better prognosis. Tuberculosis (TB) is the infectious disease with the highest casualty rate worldwide and is still a problem in many countries, including Indonesia. This study is a case report of a pulmonary TB patient with PRCA as a complication. PRCA was confirmed by the bone marrow puncture (BMP) examination as the gold standard. In this case, PRCA was inferred to occur due to the use of Isoniazid in the TB treatment regimen. The discontinuation of Isoniazid administration subsequently results in the normalization of Hb levels. In this paper we would highlight PRCA as a differential diagnosis that should be taken into consideration in symptomatic anemia in patients with tuberculosis under standard treatment.
