Abstract

ntroduction The National Household Health Survey showed that the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection (URI) in Indonesia was high. The objectives of the study were to investigate the clinical manifestations of URI, its bacterial spectrum and sensitivity. MethodsA cross sectional study was carried out involving one hundred children with symptoms of URI i.e. fever, cough and or runny nose. The data of demography, physical sign, hematology, bacterial spectrum and sensitivity were collected. ResultsThe prevalence of URI was higher in male, younger age, smoker family, low educated, low income family, and polluted environment. The manifestations of URI were rhinopharyngitis (52%), pharyngitis (18%), rhinitis (12%), tonsilopharyngitis (10%), and tonsillitis (8%). The isolated bacteria were S. aureus, S. b hemolyticus, K. pneumoniae, C. diphtheriae, S. albus and S. anhemolyticus. S. aureus was higher in male than in female (p<0.01), while S. aureus, S. â hemolyticus, and C. bacterium diphtheriae were higher in preschool age children (p<0.01), and K. pneumoniae were higher in infants (p<0.01). S. aureus, and S. â hemolyticus were higher in children with under-nutrition, while in normal nutrition were of K. pneumonia and C diphtheriae (p<0.01). Most bacteria were intermediate and resistant to fourteen tested antibiotics.ConclusionThe manifestations of URI were rhinopharyngitis (52%), pharyngitis (18%), rhinitis (12%), tonsilopharyngitis (10%), and tonsillitis (8%), each of which could be associated with the complication and accompanying disease. The pathogenic bacterial spectrum of the throat consisted of S. aureus, S. â hemolyticus, K. pneumonia, and C. diphtheriae.

Abstract

Since the First cases of AIDS were reported in the USA in 1981 and in Indonesia in 1987, millions of people throughout the world have been contracting this threateningly fatal disease. This report discusses and highlights the current problems and the future impacts of the disease in Indonesia. Data were collected from the Sub-Directorate STDs Control of the Directorate of Communicable Disease Control, Department of Health. The majority of cases were sexually active men and women between the ages of 15-49 years with the peak between 30-39 years in AIDS, and between 20-29 years in HIV(+), The mean age of HIV(+) males and remales was sta­tistically different (p<0.0002), where the mean age of HIV(+) males was 29.5 years, while in females it was 24.7 years. This new fatal disease has been reported from 15 out of 27 provinces in Indonesia, mainly from Jakarta, Bali, Riau, East Java and West Irian. Due to inadequate knowledge, and a limited surveillance of AIDS in Indonesia, no child was reported as having HIV(+)/AIDS.
