Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Diagnosis of TB can be confirmed in two ways, namely bacteriological diagnosis (if AFB sputum is found (+) and clinical diagnosis is (if BTA sputum is found (-), but chest X-ray is (+) TB). Objective: to determine the alignment of sputum conversion and extensive resolution of intensive phase lesions on chest radiographs which determine the prognosis of pulmonary TB therapy. Methods: The study design was a retrospective cohort analytic with a retrospective longitudinal study design. Data from medical records of pulmonary TB patients who have undergone therapy for six months or more at the Pulmonary Polyclinic RSI Jemursari Surabaya. The number of samples was 48 patients aged 41-60 years. All of these pulmonary TB patients were smear positive (BTA+). X-ray examination was done before and after therapy. Results: analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test to assess differences in the grade of lung lesions before and after therapy, obtained p = 0.003 (p <0.05) meaning there is a significant difference. Sputum conversion was also carried out after therapy, 89.6% of TB patients in this study experienced sputum conversion (BTA negative). To determine the alignment of sputum conversion with the resolution of lesion area, Kappa coefficient analysis K=0.033 (p>0.05) was performed with the results of 50% of patients, 47.9% showed improvement in lung lesions and sputum conversion, while 2.1% showed no improvement of lung lesions and no sputum conversion. The rest, 50% showed no congruence in the results of lung lesion repair and sputum conversion. Conclusion: The results of Kappa coefficient analysis showed that K=-0.110 (p>0.05) showed that there was no congruence between the results of chest x-ray examination of lung lesions before and after therapy (improved or not) with sputum conversion

Abstract

Introduction: Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the factor VIII (FVIII) gene. These mutations result in either reduced FVIII synthesis (null variants) or loss of FVIII function (non-null variants). Null variants are typically associated with more severe FVIII deficiency and recurrent joint bleeding, which may adversely affect musculoskeletal health.  Objective: To evaluate the relationship between musculoskeletal status and genetic mutations in patients with hemophilia A. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia-Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from June 2024 to March 2025. Genetic analysis was performed at the Human Genetic Research Center using inverse-shifting PCR and Sanger sequencing. Mutations were classified as null variants (intron-22 inversion, intron-1 inversion, large deletion, and nonsense mutations) and non-null variants (missense and non-conserved splice mutation). Musculoskeletal status was assessed by the presence of target joints and the Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), which evaluates global gait and joint function of the elbows, knees, and ankles. Higher HJHS scores indicate worse joint health.  Results: Sixty patients were included in this study, of which 39 had severe, 15 had moderate, and the remaining 6 had mild hemophilia A. The median age was 9.5 years (range 2-18). Null variants were identified in 45/60 patients and non-null variants in 15/60 patients. The most common target joints were the knees in patients with null variants and the ankles in those with non-null variants. The median HJHS was 4 (Q1-Q3: 2-13.5) in the null variant group and 2 (Q1-Q3: 1-11) in the non-null variant group. No significant association was observed between the target joint and the HJHS and genetic mutations. Further subgroup analysis showed no difference in HJHS between mutation groups among patients receiving prophylaxis (p=0.366) or on-demand treatment (p=0.458). Conclusion: No association was found between genetic mutation type and musculoskeletal status in patients with Hemophilia A. HJHS did not differ between mutation groups regardless of treatment regimens.
