Abstract

Chronic sinusitis is a long-term infl ammation that occurs in the nasal and paranasal mucosa for 12 weeks. Non-contrast CT scan is gold standard in diagnosing chronic sinusitis. This study aims to determine the characteristics of chronic sinusitis based on non-contrast CT scan at the ENT-Head and Neck Surgery Polyclinic of RSUDZA Banda Aceh in 2019. This research was a descriptive study with retrospective data, medical record. The sample of this study was taken by consecutive sampling method in October 2020 and obtained 111 samples. The results showed that most patients with chronic sinusitis were 30-39 years), as many as 42 people (37.8%). Most of the sexes suff ering from chronic sinusitis were women, as many as 59 people (53.2%). Based on the non-contrast CT scan, the location of the sinuses most aff ected was the maxillary sinuses, as many as 110 people (99.1%). The number of sinuses that were most aff ected was single sinusitis, which was 58 people (52.3%). Most patients with chronic sinusitis without polyps were found, as many as 89 people (80.2%). The most common anatomical variation found was septal deviation as many as 25 people (22.5%). The conclusions in this study indicate that women, late adulthood, maxillary sinus, single sinusitis, chronic sinusitis without nasal polyps, and septal deviation are characteristics of chronic sinusitis patients based on non-contrast CT scan.

Abstract

A. lumbricoides infection is one from 17 neglected tropical diseases in Indonesia. But, Infection of A. lumbricoides in Indonesia often undiagnosed. This is because stool examination with Kato-Katz's method still rarely done. So it needs something alternative examination that more practical and can be routinely carried out. This study was a diagnostic test for blood eosinofil levels in diagnosing A. lumbricoides infection. This research was conducted at a hospital in Medan. This study involved 63 children who had their parents approval. Children stool were examined by Kato-Katz method as a gold standard and blood eosinofil levels was examined as an index in this study. The results showed sensitivity level of eosinofil is 25% and specificity 96,08%, positive predictive value 60%, negative predictive value 84%, positive likelihood ratio 6,38% and negative likelihood ratio 0,78%. The conclusion is elevated blood eosinofil levels cannot be used as an alternative test Kato-Katz in diagnosing Infection of A. lumbricoides.
