Abstract

Byssinosis, also known as brown lung disease or Monday fever/Monday dyspnea, is a form of respiratory symptoms caused by exposure to raw non-synthetic textile materials during the production process in the industrial sector and is considered as a form of occupational lung disease. An increase in the prevalence of occupational lung diseases has been found in developing countries, particularly in South Asia. The etiology of byssinosis is the exposure to cotton dust in the textile industry, caused by exposure to endotoxins from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria found in the dust of various plant fibers, including cotton. Diagnosing byssinosis requires taking a medical history, performing a physical examination, and conducting supporting examinations such as chest X-ray, high-resolution chest CT scan, and pulmonary function tests. In pulmonary function testing using spirometry, a decrease in the FEV1/FVC ratio may be observed. Based on clinical symptoms and lung function tests, the severity of byssinosis can be assessed using Schilling criteria. Inhalation medications such as short-acting and long-acting beta-agonists are choices for pharmacological management of byssinosis. Inhaled corticosteroids can be used in severe clinical conditions.

Abstract

Anthrax is a disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The disease can be a threat to bioterrorism because it causes a high mortality rate and is easy to spread. The characteristics of sport anthrax are resistance to extreme environmental conditions. Furthermore, the Vegetative form of anthrax bacteria can form biofilms. This characteristic causes the bacteria to become a potential biological weapon agent because it is persistent and resistant to some antimicrobial agents. Antibiotic therapy is still considered the main treatment choice for anthrax disease. Antibiotic recommendations vary depending on the location, severity of the disease, and level of antimicrobial sensitivity that should be tested through bacterial culture. Anthrax prevention and control procedures in Indonesia are still limited in monitoring the entry of animals from anthrax-free areas and administering vaccines to animals in endemic or enzootic areas. The high rate of death, illness, and economic burden due to anthrax outbreaks requires health workers to increase medical vigilance against clinical anthrax. Early detection efforts and policy-making to prevent the spread of anthrax, especially against the possibility of its use as bioterrorism, should be a concern
