Abstract

Background: While effective in treating the disease, anti-tuberculosis drugs can also potentially harm the liver. Monitoring liver health using the transaminase enzyme and leukocyte counts can help in the early detection and prevention of such damage in tuberculosis patients. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between transaminase enzyme levels and the leukocyte count in patients with tuberculosis who took anti-tuberculosis drugs. Methods: This research was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. It used medical record data from TB patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for anti-tuberculosis drug therapy at the medical records installation. Results: Forty-four samples were included in the research. The levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and leukocyte count were 30 IU/L, 19.5 IU/L, and 9.35x103/µL. The Spearman correlation test showed no correlation between AST and ALT levels and leukocyte counts, with p-values of 0.585 and 0.337. Conclusion: There was no correlation between AST and ALT levels and leukocyte counts in tuberculosis patients undergoing anti-tuberculosis drug therapy.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is an infection that causes physical and psychological stress. Cortisol and prolactin are hormones that have been studied in association with infectious states. Viral infections trigger the production of acute-phase proteins and antibodies essential for viral elimination. This study aimed to prove the correlation between stress hormone levels and inflammatory markers and antibodies in COVID-19 patients. A cross-sectional approach was employed in this study, with a target population of patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19. Cortisol, prolactin, and specific antibodies were quantified via ELISA, while CRP and procalcitonin levels were measured using immunoturbidimetric and immunofluorescence assays. Additionally, anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were evaluated using the ECLIA principle. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Fifty-six subjects were included in this study. The study found correlations between cortisol and prolactin levels and CRP (p=0.007, r=0.357; p=0.132, r=0.204) and procalcitonin (p=0.006, r=0.365; p=0.315, r=0.137). The correlations between cortisol and prolactin levels and IgM were p=0.163, r=-0.189; and p=0.299, r=-0.141. The correlations between cortisol and prolactin levels and IgG were p=0.017, r=-0.317, and p=0.207, r=-0.171. There is a weak positive correlation between cortisol levels and CRP and procalcitonin levels. There is a weak negative correlation between cortisol levels and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG.

Abstract

This erratum is to explain a typographical error in Table 2 occurred in the published issue of Indonesian Journal of Clinical Pathology and Medical Laboratory Volume 31, Number 2 in March 2025, pages 136. The error was in writing the Fibrinogen level which should be a period, not a comma and D-dimer level in the table, which should be a comma, not a period.
