Abstract

Background: Dengue infection remains a significant health concern in Indonesia, with a high mortality rate. Early identification and prediction of severe dengue are crucial for effective management and mortality reduction. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has emerged as a potential biomarker for assessing dengue severity due to its association with inflammatory responses. Methods: This descriptive study included 48 pediatric patients diagnosed with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang between March and August 2024. Patients were included if they were aged 0-18 years, had a confirmed diagnosis of DHF or DSS, and underwent complete blood count and serological testing for dengue. Patients with chronic diseases or other comorbidities were excluded. Complete blood counts were performed using flow cytometry, and PLR was calculated by dividing the platelet count by the absolute lymphocyte count. Clinical data were obtained from medical records. Results: The majority of patients were aged 6-18 years (68.8%), with 20 (41.7%) presenting with DHF and 28 (58.3%) with DSS. The median platelet count was lower in DSS patients (26,000/mm3) compared to DHF patients (35,500/mm3). The median PLR was also significantly lower in DSS patients (8.95) compared to DHF patients (15.61). A PLR value <20 was more frequently observed in DSS patients (89.3%) than in DHF patients (75%). Conclusion: A lower PLR value was associated with more severe clinical manifestations of dengue infection, particularly DSS. PLR can serve as a valuable biomarker for assessing dengue severity, utilizing readily available and cost-effective complete blood count results.

Abstract

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a significant contributor to infant mortality, with millions of cases occurring globally each year. It is classified into early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), occurring within the first 72 hours of life, and late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS), occurring after 72 hours. Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in neonatal sepsis, and the degree of thrombocytopenia has been associated with the severity of the disease. Mean platelet volume (MPV) and immature platelet fraction (IPF) are markers of platelet size and immaturity, respectively, and may provide insights into the pathophysiology of sepsis and aid in its diagnosis. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital in Padang, Indonesia, from June to September 2024. The study included 41 neonates diagnosed with sepsis. Complete blood counts were performed using an automated hematology analyzer to determine MPV, IPF, and platelet count. Neonatal sepsis was classified as EONS (within the first 7 days of life) or LONS (from day 8 to 28). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the unpaired t-test. Results: The mean age of the neonates was 11.6 days. There were 19 neonates with EONS and 22 with LONS. The mean MPV was significantly higher in the LONS group (11.7 fL) compared to the EONS group (10.2 fL) (p=0.001). Similarly, the mean IPF was significantly higher in the LONS group (10.9%) compared to the EONS group (7.7%) (p=0.001). There was no significant difference in platelet count between the two groups. Conclusion: MPV and IPF were significantly higher in neonates with LONS compared to those with EONS, suggesting that these parameters may be useful biomarkers for differentiating between the two conditions. Further research with a larger sample size and longitudinal follow-up is needed to confirm these findings and to assess the potential clinical utility of MPV and IPF in the management of neonatal sepsis.

Abstract

Background: Regular blood donation, while crucial for healthcare systems, can lead to iron deficiency and anemia in donors. This study investigated the impact of donation frequency on iron stores and hemoglobin levels in regular blood donors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 82 regular blood donors at the blood transfusion unit of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital from February to April 2024. Participants underwent pre-transfusion screening, including a questionnaire on donation frequency and iron supplement use. Blood samples were collected during donation, and serum ferritin, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC) were measured if the C-reactive protein (CRP) test was negative. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The mean age of the donors was 31 years, with the majority being female (56.1%). The most common donation frequency was 6-10 times (34.15%). None of the donors reported using iron supplements. Serum ferritin levels showed significant differences among female donors based on donation frequency (p=0.004) but not among male donors (p=0.114). Hemoglobin levels also differed significantly among female donors (p=0.002), but not among male donors (p=0.213). Significant differences were observed in MCV and MCH values in both male and female donors (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively), but not in MCHC values (p=0.135). Conclusion: Donation frequency significantly impacts iron stores and hemoglobin levels in female blood donors but not in male donors. Regular monitoring of iron stores, particularly in female donors, is crucial to prevent iron deficiency and anemia.

Abstract

Background: The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) is a crucial diagnostic tool in immunohematology, used to detect the presence of antibodies and/or complement components on the surface of red blood cells. DAT positivity is frequently associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and other immune-mediated hemolytic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of DAT positivity by comparing the characteristics of patients with IgG, C3d, and IgG/C3d-positive results. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 55 patients with DAT-positive results, identified from the Blood Transfusion Unit of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang between June 2023 and August 2023. DAT-positive samples were further analyzed using monospecific anti-human globulin (AHG) reagents to determine the presence of IgG, C3d, or both on the red blood cells. Patient demographics, clinical diagnoses, blood groups, transfusion history, and hematological parameters were collected and analyzed. Results: Out of the 55 DAT-positive patients, 51 (92.7%) were positive for IgG alone, 3 (5.5%) were positive for both IgG and C3d, and only 1 (1.8%) was positive for C3d alone. The majority of patients were adults (>18 years old) and female. A history of blood transfusion (>3 times) was common, particularly in the IgG-positive group. Hematological parameters indicative of hemolysis (hemoglobin ≤9 g/dL, reticulocyte count >2%, and total bilirubin >2 mg/dL) were observed in a significant proportion of patients, especially those with IgG and/or C3d positivity. Conclusion: IgG positivity was the most common finding in DAT-positive patients, highlighting the prevalence of warm AIHA. The presence of C3d, alone or with IgG, suggests the involvement of complement activation and may indicate a different underlying pathology. This study emphasizes the importance of using monospecific AHG reagents to characterize DAT-positive results, as this information can aid in the diagnosis, management, and prediction of clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a positive single-stranded RNA virus. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are not only dominated by respiratory tract symptoms but can also show symptoms of liver damage in severe COVID-19 patients. Liver damage that occurs can cause acute liver failure and result in death. Examination of liver damage marker parameters such as total bilirubin needs to be carried out as mortality increases in COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical research was conducted on 40 COVID-19 patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from July to December 2021. Examination of total bilirubin levels using the colorimetric diazo method. Bivariate analysis used the Mann-Whitney test to see the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality. Results: The average age of the research subjects was 61.85 (1.40) years, with 65% men and 35% women. The mortality percentage in COVID-19 patients is 65%. The median total bilirubin level was 1.95 (0.5-2.8) mg/dL. The relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients was found to have a p-value of <0.001. The study results showed that the median total bilirubin level in COVID-19 patients who died was relatively higher, namely 2.20 (1.4-2.8) mg/dL, compared to those who did not die, namely 0.70 (0.5-1. 6) mg/dL. Conclusion: The results of this study show that there is a relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a malignant tumor originating from placental trophoblast which causes mortality due to bleeding. Trophoblast produces beta hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Quantitative examination of serum beta hCG is used to support the diagnosis and management of GTN. Hysterectomy is performed in bleeding conditions as the main therapy besides chemotherapy. This study aims to analyze differences in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy in GTN patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: Retrospective observational analytical research design cross-sectional from 21 samples of GTN patients for the period July 2021 to June 2023 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Quantitative beta hCG level examination is carried out before and after the hysterectomy. The Shapiro-Wilk test was carried out for data normality and continued with the Wilcoxon nonparametric tests to find out significant differences in beta hCG levels. Results: The most common characteristics of GTN patients were age ≥35 years, namely 15 (71.4%) patients, multiparity in 14 (66.7%) patients, and indication for hysterectomy due to bleeding in 14 (66.7%) patients. The median beta hCG level before hysterectomy was 46,000 (117.10-653,874) mIU/mL and the median after hysterectomy was 113.3 (0.12-3,693) mIU/mL. Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy were found to be normal (<5 mIU/mL) in five patients (23.8%). There was a significant difference in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy (p <0.001). Conclusion: Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy decreased compared to before hysterectomy. Hysterectomy therapy is useful for reducing beta hCG levels in GTN patients.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to a decrease in serum albumin levels. A more severe inflammatory response in non-survivor COVID-19 patients may correlate with a more significant decrease in albumin levels. This study aims to analyze differences in mean albumin levels in COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study involved 40 COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from July 2021 to September 2021. Serum albumin levels were checked using an automated clinical chemistry tool. Data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 49.4 (16.3) years, with the majority of cases occurring in men (67.5%). The median albumin levels in all COVID-19 patients, COVID-19 survivors, and COVID-19 non-survivors were 3.2 (2.20–5.00) g/dL, respectively; 4.1 (3.0–5.0) g/dL; and 2.9 (2.20–3.70) g/dL (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in mean albumin levels between COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Lower albumin levels were found in non-survivor patients. Albumin can be a potential biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients.
