Abstract

Introduction: Patients with lung cancer are vulnerable to opportunistic infections, particularly fungal pulmonary infections such as those caused by Aspergillus spp., due to immunosuppression from both the disease and chemotherapy. Despite the clinical significance of these infections, data on their prevalence and associated factors in patients with lung cancer remain limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Aspergillus spp. and identify associated factors in patients with lung cancer who underwent first-line chemotherapy at a national respiratory referral hospital in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients with lung cancer who had completed at least three cycles of chemotherapy. Sputum cultures were performed using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were tested using immunochromatographic assays. Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were collected. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with Aspergillus spp. infection. Results: Aspergillus spp. was detected in 92.0% of patients via sputum culture, with A. niger and A. fumigatus as the most common isolates. Over 30% showed co-colonization with other fungal species, such as Candida. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high Brinkman Index was independently associated with Aspergillus spp. colonization (p<0.05). Serum IgG antibody positivity was low (4%). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of Aspergillus spp. colonization among patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy, with smoking history emerging as a key risk factor. Targeted fungal screening is recommended, especially in heavy smokers, to facilitate early detection and improve outcomes.

Abstract

The emergency hospital is intended to prevent transmission of COVID-19 in the community by isolating patients without symptoms, with mild or moderate symptoms. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients who were admitted to this facility. This retrospective study re-viewed data of patients treated at the National Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran in Jakarta, Indonesia, from March 23 to April 30, 2020. Patient characteristics (clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, Chest X-Ray, SARS-CoV-2 immunoserology, and RT-PCR results from nasopharyngeal/ oropharyngeal preparations) were compared between severity groups. There were 413 COVID-19 cases analyzed, of which 190 (46%) were asymptomatic, 93 (22.5%) were mild, and 130 (31.5%) were moderate cases. Most asymptomatic cases were male, with young age, and without comorbidity. Mild cases were dominated by female and young patients, while most moderate cases were male and older patients. The number of patients with comorbidities was higher in mild and mod-erate cases. The patient’s overall outcome was good and did not differ based on the severity of symptoms. Despite the many challenges, patients with moderate symptoms can be safely treated in the emergency hospital.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is the main risk factor for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, especially in patients with residual cavitary lesions after completion of TB therapy. The body mass index (BMI) is one of the established markers in predicting the mortality of CPA. However, the data regarding BMI profiles of CPA patients in Indonesia is still limited. We evaluated the BMI profiles of CPA patients among post-TB patients. Patients diagnosed as CPA based on clinical, radiology and the Aspergillus IgG test. 50 patients were included with a mean age of 35 years; 13 patients met the criteria of CPA. The overall median of BMI in these patients was 21. The median BMI in the CPA group was 19,3. The lowest (19,8) median BMI value was observed in the positive Aspergillus IgG group (11,5 – 30 mg/L) with a minimum BMI of 14,7 and a maximum BMI of 29,2. The differences in median BMI across CPA and non CPA groups and Aspergillus IgG level were not statistically significant. However, there is a trend that lower BMI were distributed among patients with positive Aspergillus IgG. More than one third of CPA patients in this study were classified as underweight. Future study is necessary to better depict the BMI profiles in larger scale of populations of CPA in Indonesia in order to achieve better diagnosis and management of CPA.

Abstract

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an allergic lung disorder characterized by an exaggerated immune response to fungal allergens, particularly from Aspergillus fumigatus. ABPA leads to excessive mucus production and impaired mucociliary clearance. When A. fumigatus conidia are inhaled, they germinate, release exoproteases and other substances that further impede mucociliary clearance, and activate the immune response. The immune response is known by an exaggerated Th2 response to Aspergillus antigens, leading to production of IgE antibodies, eosinophilic infiltration of the lungs, and the formation of immune complexes. These immune complexes can deposit in the lung tissue, leading to airway inflammation, bronchiectasis, and fibrosis. This disease mainly occurs in individuals diagnosed with bronchial asthma and cystic fibrosis. Increased levels of A. fumigatus total IgE and specific IgE, IgG, and IgA antibodies, play a role in diagnosing patients with ABPA.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the main health problems in Indonesia is respiratory disease. Respiratory disease can be caused by fungus, so-called lung mycosis. The fungi species that cause respiratory infections in humans range from Candida sp. to more dangerous species such as Aspergillus fumigatus. Culture methods using respiratory specimens, especially sputum, can be used to identify species of fungi that cause pulmonary mycosis. Aim this study was conducted to compare the culture results between conventional culture methods on sloped agar and high volume culture method on plate.Method: This study used a cross-sectional design in which the data of culture results were obtained from different culture methods.Result: High volume culture method grew more colonies including Aspergillus fumigatus than conventional culture method which grew no Aspergillus fumigatus. The correlation of data between culture methods and culture results were analyzed with McNemar test and it showed p=0.000.Conclusion: The relationship between the culture method and culture results has a significant correlation (p less than 0.05). Therefore, high volume culture was a better method to grow more fungal colonies including Aspergillus fumigatus than conventional culture methods.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection with a low cure rate. While dermatophytes are the most common causal agent for onychomycosis, the incidence of Candida and nondermatophyte mold (NDM) onychomycosis is increasing. This study aimed to analyze the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with onychomycosis. METHODS Patients who visited the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, and were diagnosed with onychomycosis from 2017 to 2022 were included. Diagnosis was established through clinical examination, supported by the result of direct microscopic examination with potassium hydroxide. RESULTS Of 171 patients, 93.6% had onychodystrophy, 65.5% were females, and 62.0% were aged 19–59 years. Most patients had onychodystrophy in more than three nails, affecting fingernails (31.6%) and toenails (34.5%). Interestingly, 84.8% of patients had no history of nail diseases. The median onset of disease was 24.0 (1–1,040) weeks, while the median onychomycosis severity index was 10.0 (2–40). Most cases were caused by Candida albicans (48.3%). Fusarium was the only NDM documented (2.3%). Some patients were resistant to itraconazole (11.4%) and miconazole (4.5%). Overall, 49.1% of the patients were declared not cured. CONCLUSIONS Candida was the predominant cause of onychomycosis, and onychodystrophy was the dominant feature. Current treatment regimens with systemic or topical antifungal agents did not yield satisfactory results, with more than half of the patients deemed not cured.
