Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death among people with HIV. In Indonesia, the Tuberculosis prevalence in 2021 stood at 969,000 cases with an average of 354 cases per 100,000 people. Nevertheless, tuberculosis is often neglected by many people, whereas in fact, it is a preventable and curable disease. This study aims to assess the knowledge, perception, behaviour, and screening for tuberculosis and their association with sociodemographic factors in a rural area of Malang, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted. The subjects of this study were adults (≥18 years old) who could comprehend the Indonesian language. We included 462 individuals who were chosen randomly by a multistage stratified sampling technique in rural areas of Malang, Indonesia. A validated questionnaire was asked to be filled in by participants, which were selected randomly using a multistage stratified sampling technique. Collected data were analyzed on SPSS for Windows version 25.0 Results: This study found that most (59.77%) of adults from the study area are still unaware of tuberculosis infection, transmission, prevention, and its risk factors. Only 1.2% were aware of the importance of screening if they had contact with positive tuberculosis patients. Participants in the age groups of 61 to 70 and over 70 years old were 5.5 and 4.0 times more likely to exhibit unsatisfactory behaviour compared to those in the 27 to 30 age group. Conclusion: This study shows that knowledge, perceptions, behaviours and tuberculosis screening toward tuberculosis are still lacking in rural communities in Malang and showed that participant on younger age and higher educational subjects has better knowledge, behaviour, perception and screening towards Tuberculosis and HIV.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Paracetamol poisoning has extensive implications, and one of the most dangerous is the involvement of liver dysfunction. Such cases are rare but require comprehensive evaluation and management. CASE: A 19-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain after ingesting 20 grams of paracetamol with alcohol in a suicide attempt. Her history revealed severe depression with symptoms of anhedonia, anergy, and self-harming behavior. Laboratory results showed elevated liver enzymes and prolonged coagulation time, though other organ functions were normal. She was diagnosed with acute liver failure due to paracetamol intoxication and was treated with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), omeprazole, ondansetron, vitamin K, and psychiatric counseling. After seven days of hospitalization, her clinical condition improved, with plans for outpatient follow-up and prescribed medications. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the importance of addressing adolescent mental health and providing education on the dangers of drug overdose, along with access to psychological support to prevent self-harm.
