Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) can manifest as pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB, with the latter involving various organs and tissues outside the lungs. Knee TB, a form of skeletal TB, is a relatively rare condition, accounting for only 0.09% to 0.15% of all TB cases. Here, we present a case series diagnosed and managed at Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies for this uncommon condition. We present two case series involving male patients with knee pain, swelling, and limited range of motion, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and weight loss. Both patients had previous pulmonary TB diagnoses and underwent radiological examinations, including chest X-ray and knee radiography. Microbiological analysis was performed using GeneXpert MTB/Rif, and histopathological examination confirmed TB in both cases. The first patient, diagnosed with clinical pulmonary TB and knee TB, responded well to anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) and surgery. The second patient, with ongoing pulmonary TB, was diagnosed with knee TB after surgery and biopsy. Both patients showed significant improvement in symptoms after treatment and surgery, with no side effects from ATT. Knee TB should be considered in patients from TB-endemic areas presenting with unexplained knee symptoms, particularly when there is a history of pulmonary TB. Early diagnosis through biopsy and appropriate imaging is essential for effective management. Comprehensive treatment, including ATT and surgical debridement, followed by rehabilitation, leads to favorable outcomes in most cases.

Abstract

Microbial contamination in food can pose a serious threat, as it not only reduces food quality but also directly impacts health, ranging from mild to severe conditions, and can affect people of all ages. Adolescents are vulnerable to food poisoning due to limited knowledge and skills in safe food handling. This community service activity involved partners from SMAN 6 Depok and aimed to address the main problems faced by teenagers, such as limited knowledge about the types of microorganisms that can cause contamination in food. Educating adolescents is crucial, considering that the highest cases of food poisoning occur in this age group, yet education efforts are still rare because most health programs focus on groups directly involved in food processing. The methods used include interactive educational approaches, such as presentations, discussions, and Q&A sessions, as well as laboratory practices to observe microorganisms with the aid of a microscope. The activity also involved administering questionnaires in the form of pre-tests and post-tests to the adolescents. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge about the types of microorganisms that cause food contamination, from 40% to 96%. This educational program has strong sustainability potential with long-term impacts in the form of increased adolescents’ knowledge and a reduced risk of foodborne diseases.
