Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and bacterial pneumonia are respiratory infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite having similar clinical symptoms and radiological findings, these conditions require different treatment approaches. Procalcitonin is a potential biomarker to differentiate these conditions, as its levels tend to increase in bacterial infections but not in TB. This study aims to compare procalcitonin levels in patients with pulmonary TB and bacterial pneumonia. Methods: This research employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital (RSMH), Palembang. The study subjects were patients with pulmonary TB and bacterial pneumonia who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Procalcitonin levels were measured using ELISA methods. Data were analyzed to determine differences in procalcitonin levels between the two groups. Results: The study found that procalcitonin levels in bacterial pneumonia patients were significantly higher than those in pulmonary TB patients (p<0.05). These findings indicate that procalcitonin levels can serve as a diagnostic parameter to distinguish between the two conditions. Conclusion: Procalcitonin levels can be a useful biomarker for differentiating pulmonary TB from bacterial pneumonia. This biomarker is expected to assist clinicians in making more accurate diagnoses and expediting clinical decision-making.

Abstract

Background: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disorder characterized by fever, arthritis, rash, and hyperferritinemia. While AOSD commonly presents with systemic and articular manifestations, it can rarely involve other organ systems, including the eye and the coagulation system. Case presentation: We present a case of an 18-year-old male with AOSD who developed hypercoagulability and ocular vasculitis. The patient presented with high-grade fever, polyarthritis, and the characteristic salmon-pink rash. Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis, elevated inflammatory markers, and a significant elevation of serum ferritin. Imaging studies ruled out other diagnoses. During the course of his illness, the patient developed hematomas and was found to have elevated fibrinogen and D-dimer levels, suggestive of hypercoagulability. He also experienced ocular symptoms and was diagnosed with ocular vasculitis. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids, methotrexate, and anticoagulation therapy, which led to the resolution of his symptoms. Conclusion: This case highlights the rare and serious complications of AOSD, including hypercoagulability and ocular vasculitis. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with these complications.
