Abstract

Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest diseases known to attack humans, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is a stage or condition in which Mycobacterium tuberculosis becomes minimally resistant to rifampicin administration and also insonicotinylhydrazine (INH). Extensive-drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) is an MDR-TB with Mycobacterium tuberculosis immune characteristics against one of the fluoroquinolone class drugs and one of the second-line injection OAT (capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin). The aim of this study was to find out the description of variation in laboratory costs of MDR-TB/XDR patients on one treatment cycle. Method. The inclusion criteria were patients who had been diagnosed with MDR-TB/XDR and performed laboratory tests. The design of this study was a cross-sectional retrospective analytics using medical records of MDR-TB/XDR patients in MDR division. Results. There were 30 MDR-TB research subjects and 2 XDR-TB research subjects examined for laboratory examination. Comparison of laboratory mean of MDR-TB/XDR (p = 0,018). Discussion. There was a significant difference in the total cost of MDR-TB/XDR laboratory examinations in one treatment cycle. Conclusion. Laboratory examination of MDR-TB/XDR patients requires considerable cost, this is due to the side effects of OAT that require patient clinical monitoring.

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands, which produce essential hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and sex steroids. The most common form of CAH is caused by a 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency resulting from mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. This deficiency disrupts normal cortisol and aldosterone production, leading to excessive androgen synthesis and a range of clinical manifestations, including ambiguous genitalia in females and adrenal crisis in both sexes. Current biomarkers, such as 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), androstenedione, and testosterone, have limitations, and further research on 11-oxygenated androgens—which are more specific for CAH—is needed. Non-invasive methods, such as measuring steroids in saliva and urine, are increasingly accessible and useful, particularly for children showing signs of hyperandrogenism.
