Abstract

Pneumothorax or fluidopneumothorax is a critical condition when there is some air or/and fluid in the plural cavity. The symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, blue discoloration of the skin or lips, increased heart rate, and loss of consciousness. Pleural cavity drainage is management therapy with the concept of Water Seal Drainage (WSD), which requires a long hospital stay. Heimlich valve is a non-return valve that allows fluid and air to exit the thoracic cavity (on inspiration) and prevents fluid and air from re-entering (during expiration). Heimlich valve is a viable, inexpensive, convenient, safe, effective, and efficient alternative in the management of ambulation of patients requiring prolonged pleural cavity drainage. The use of Heimlich valve is an alternative option for patients with persistent pneumothorax or fluidopneumothorax. It can shorten the time of treatment in the hospital, lowering treatment costs, and minimize the presence of nosocomial infections. Relative contraindications include fluidopneumothorax with massive pleural effusion or empyema. The risks and complications are dislodgement or improper reattachment, leaking valve, adhesion, and blockage, thus becoming tension pneumothorax or pleural cavity infection. Currently the latest innovation also improves the patient’s convenience, like Thoracic Vent, Pneumostat, or Mini Mobile Dry Seal Drain.

Abstract

Introduction: Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) is a nosocomial pneumonia that brings negative impacts, such as prolonged hospital stay and increased cost. Previous studies often discussed about the risk factors of HAP mortality in adult patients rather than in children. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of mortality in children with HAP.Methods: This was a retrospective observational analytic study using cross sectional method with total sampling. A total of 73 children were enrolled in this study, consisted of inpatients at Pediatric Inpatient Room Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Independent variables were gender, age, onset of HAP, length of stay (LOS), comorbidities, birth weight, type of breastfeeding, the use of mechanical ventilation (MV), and response to therapy. Dependent variable was mortality. The data were collected from medical records, which later were analyzed by bivariate and multivariate analysis.Results: The mortality of children with HAP was 23.3%. Bivariate analysis showed that age (p = 0.009), the use of MV (p = 0.029), and response to therapy (p = 0.036) were proven to affect mortality in children with HAP in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. In addition, the use of MV was the significant risk factor (p = 0.023) given by the multivariate analysis. Gender, onset of HAP, LOS, comorbidities, and type of breastfeeding were not proven to be the risk factors for mortality.Conclusion:Mortality in children with HAP in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya was significantly affected by children’s age, the use of MV, and response to therapy. This information might be used as early signs and treatment strategies for children with HAP which lead to the decrease of hospital mortality.

Abstract

Introduction: Streptococcus constellatus (SC) is commensal bacteria and belongs to Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG). However, SC causes infections especially in patient with underlying diseases. SC empyema is a clinical case that is described in very few studies, especially in Indonesia.Case: A 45-year-old man was admitted to emergency department in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya with respiratory insufficiency on November 11th 2020 after 3 months of non-productive cough and a week of weakness. He was diagnosed with empyema on right hemithorax and received chest tube insertion. SC was isolated from pleural fluid sample after first day of culture on Bactec BD bottle. GeneXpert result of pleural fluid was negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). He completed 10 days of intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam and metronidazole. The CT scan reported solid mass of 4.7x7.4x7.8 cm in posterolateral segment of inferior lobe right lung, right pleural effusion, with adenocarcinoma as biopsy result.Discussion: SC is a normal commensal in respiratory tract, however with the presence of a certain factor such as immunocompromised, colonized SAG directly induces an infection after entering normal sterile sites in the body including pleural fluid.Conclusion: Although infection caused by SC is a rare case, it still should be considered in clinical diagnosis and treatment of related infections, particularly in patients with comorbidities. The prognosis was good with appropriate antibiotics and chest tube insertion.

Abstract

Introduction: The duration of diagnosis delay in tuberculosis (TB) control strategy is one of the problems in TB control program. There are a lot of adverse effects, such as increasing the risk of people to become more prone to TB transmission, infectivity period, and worsening the patient’s condition that can furthermore increase the mortality and morbidity numbers. This study aimed to analyze the delay behavior in the society, specifically in Porong, East Java.  Methods: The respondents filled a questionnaire, the answer was crosschecked and complemented with the medical record on the clinic. The data collected then were analyzed with binary logistic regression using SPSS.Results: From the total of 22 samples in this study, 11 of them were classified to be delayed (patients checked their symptoms 2 weeks after the symptoms started to appear). Some factors that might have an effect on the patient’s delay were education level, the patient’s knowledge about TB, and occupation that lead to the patient’s business. Meanwhile, factors like age, gender, and the distance between the patient’s house and the health facility might have an insignificant effect.Conclusion: Duration of patient delay contributed significantly to the duration of diagnosis delay, with the median duration of 29 days. Meanwhile, the duration of system delay that was found only ranging at 0-3 days. In this study, however, evidence of the independent factors might have an effect on the patient’s tendencies to delay treatment that had not yet proven by statistical analysis.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a global health problem with a total of 1.4 million cases in 2015. Over the last decade, several studies have demonstrated the potential role of gut-lung axis in the treatment of tuberculosis. The exact mechanism of the gut-lung axis on tuberculosis is still unknown, however modulation of the gut-lung axis can be performed via probiotic administration. The administered probiotics are capable of inducing an immunomodulating effect which helps in the process of tuberculosis infection. One of the molecules that can be activated with probiotics and plays a role in tuberculosis infection is granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). GM-CSF can control intracellular production of M. tuberculosis, inflammation in granulomas, and lung tissue reparation. This article aimed to explore the role of the gut-lung axis, GM-CSF, and the potential of probiotic-based therapy on active tuberculosis infection. It was found that probiotics mediate the immune response via the activation of several inflammatory cytokines and interleukins related to lung infection, but not directly with the tuberculosis pathogen. Thus, probiotic-based therapy has the potential to increase immunity during active tuberculosis infection. Further studies to explore the other mechanisms of the gut-lung axis against tuberculosis through probiotic administration need to be performed.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health issue. The most devastating clinical manifestations of TB is Central nervous system (CNS) TB. CNS TB is found approximately in 1% of all patients with active TB, and cerebellar TB is rarely reported. CNS TB can present as meningitis, arachnoiditis, tuberculomas, or the uncommon forms of tuberculous subdural empyema and brain abscess.Case: A 23-year-old patient was reported in October 2018 with signs and symptoms of 2-month history of vertigo, headache, vomiting, weakness, fever, blurred vision, lingual palsy, dysmetria, and decrease of consciousness. The patient had a few months of history of cough, contact with a TB patient, his father, and loss of body weight. On admission, the patient had fever (38.50 C) and Glasgow coma score of 13.Discussion:  CNS TB can occur in an immunocompromised patient with malnutrition, whether a child or young adult. The patient in this case had risk factors because he is a young adult and had contact with a patient of TB, his father. Based on epidemiology, clinical signs and symptoms, radiological findings, and the result of AFB-stained sputum, the patient was diagnosed with right cerebellar TB and PTB.Conclusion: The high morbidity and mortality characteristics of CNS TB are very important to note, thus the prompt diagnosis and therapy should be done. The specific therapy of ATD combined with surgery seems to provide a good result. The clinical and radiological findings were used as the evaluation of the medication.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are still the leading causes of mortality. Eosinophil counts were recommended in assessing the risk of exacerbations. This additional examination was preferred rather than the pulmonary function test (PFT), which was considered less precise and had vast differences. Therefore, an analysis of the correlation between the FEV1% predicted and blood eosinophil counts were needed as a reference in the diagnosis of COPD exacerbation. This study aimed to determine the correlation between FEV1% predicted and blood eosinophils counts in patients with COPD exacerbations.Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study by analyzing medical records of patients with COPD exacerbations at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, from 2017 to 2018.Results: The characteristics of patients with exacerbations of COPD consisted of 91.7% male patients. Most of them were in the age group of 61-70 years old, 58.3% were in the private sector, 75% had a high school diploma, and 41.7% had normal body mass index (BMI). The percentage of the FEV1% predicted is directly proportional to the percentage of blood eosinophils with weak and statistically insignificant strength.Conclusion: The FEV1% predicted and blood eosinophil counts had a very weak correlation and statistically insignificant strength. Thus, it could not be used as a reference for diagnosis using one of the variables. Further research is needed with sputum eosinophils and biopsy as consideration for more accurate results.

Abstract

Introduction: The Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become a major problem worldwide. Currently, the group of geriatrics always coincidence with chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and osteoarthritis discovered with a general level of severity, disability and even death. In addition, obesity is associated with several high risks of disease severity and worse clinical outcome in COVID-19.Case: a geriatric patient with comorbidities of osteoarthritis and obesity class 1 suffered from critically ill COVID-19. Clinical manifestations that were atypical and without a history of epidemiology made it difficult to screen for COVID. Furthermore, it was found that the respiration rate, heartbeat, and blood pressure increased, oxygen saturation was only 86%, crackles all over the right lung, chest x-ray showed bilaterally infiltrates and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test showed positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) on admission. Patients managed with high flow nasal canulla (HFNC) flow 40 lpm and FiO2 78% with temperature 370C, selection of appropriate hydrophilic antibiotic such moxifloxacin iv and antiviral therapy. Obesity-related calorie regulation is given according to The Indonesian Association of Clinical Nutritionists (PDGKI), osteoarthritis medicationis still provided during the treatment resulted in a very good clinical progress. Furthermore, the patient finally recovered and was allowed to go home on the 13th day of treatment with maximum improvement.Conclusion: It is very important for clinicians to know the complex therapy management of patients in the geriatric group. This is because this population generally had atypical clinical symptoms and those that were admitted to the hospital already had severe cases.
