Abstract

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe form of extrapulmonary TB, causing high morbidity and mortality. The Global TB 2022 report estimates that there are at least 100,000 people with MTB each year. In 2021, there were at least 13,400 MTB cases in Indonesia, or about 8% of the global estimate. To determine the characteristics of tuberculous meningitis patients at M. Djamil Padang Hospital in 2024. A descriptive study with cross-sectional method. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling by collecting medical record data of TBM patients at Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital in 2024. The number of samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was 45 sample. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Univariate analysis was used to assess the characteristics of patient and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The average age of TBM patients in this study was 31 years, dominated by male gender (55.6%). Most of the TBM patients had normal nutritional status (64.4%) and only 17.8% of patients were underweight. Only 13.3% of TBM patients had a history of TB and 6.7% of patients had positive HIV status. Around 4.76% and 11.1% of patients had comorbid DM and hypertension. Most patients were in stage II BMRC (71.1%). Hydrocephalus was the most common CT Scan finding, which was 46.7%. Only 26.7% of patients died during treatment. Tuberculous meningitis is more common in men, with stage II BMRC, has hydrocephalus, and more than a quarter of MTB patients died during treatment.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To reveal the risk factors for olfactory dysfunction in employees with COVID-19 in the workplace of the subject hospital in Indonesia. This study was quantitative and descriptive, using data from questionnaires distributed to subject hospital in Indonesia employees who have experienced COVID-19. This study shows that anosmia (33.2%) is the most common olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19. COVID-19 infection often occurs in resident doctors (58.1%); women (55.6%); those aged 55 years (92.3%); those with comorbidities such as hypertension (4.3%) and obesity (65%); nonsmokers (91.5%) and smokers 10–20 cigarettes per day (5.1%); and nondrinkers (100%). Anosmia is the most common olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19. It is commonly experienced by resident doctors, women aged ≥55 years, employees without comorbidities, obese employees, nonsmokers, and nondrinker

Abstract

Urticaria is a skin condition characterized by wheals, which may be accompanied by itching, a burning sensation, or pain, and can occur together with angioedema. House dust mites (HDM) are one of the main aeroallergens capable of triggering IgE-mediated allergic skin reactions. Children living in crowded environments, such as orphanages, are at high risk of HDM exposure. This study aimed to determine the relationship between house dust mite exposure and the occurrence of urticaria and/or angioedema in children at an orphanage in Pauh District, Padang City. This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at an orphanage in Pauh District, Padang City, and in the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, from March to October 2025. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Bed dust was collected using a vacuum cleaner, and interviews were conducted using an adapted UAS and ISAAC questionnaire. Chi-square was used to analyze the relationship between the two variables. The results of this study showed that all dust samples (100%) were positive for house dust mites, and identification revealed that the most common species found was Dermatophagoides sp. (57.14%), followed by Acarus sp. (32.14%), Cheyletus sp. (25%), Carpoglyphus sp. (17.86%), Glycyphagus sp. (14.29%), Thyrophagus sp. (14.29%), and Blomia tropicalis (7.14%). The average density of house dust mites was 72.85 mites/gram of dust. The prevalence of urticaria and/or angioedema in children was 25.6%. This study found no significant association between house dust mite density and the occurrence of urticaria and/or angioedema (p = 0.263). The conclusion of this study is that factors such as individual predisposition, environmental conditions, and immune sensitization status are likely to contribute to the development of urticaria and/or angioedema.
