Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a long-term infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). It can occur during pregnancy, in which its treatment can cause side effects, such as drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Tuberculous aneurysm due to TB infection is a rare occurrence, which can spread directly and hematogenously from the vascular wall. We report a case of bilateral multiple lower limb tuberculous aneurysms in a pregnant woman with DILI due to TB treatment. Case: A 27-year-old pregnant woman at 14-15 weeks of gestation presented with painless lumps on the left side of her neck and both ankles. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of the left cervical lymph nodes confirmed tuberculous lymphadenitis. Vascular Doppler ultrasound of both lower limbs revealed multiple aneurysms, suspected to be infected tuberculous aneurysms with intramural thrombi, located on the lateral and anterior aspects of the distal leg extending to the left ankle, compressing the distal posterior and anterior tibial arteries. After one month of category one anti-TB drug (ATD) therapy, the patient developed elevated bilirubin levels (3.76 mg/dL). Following surgical intervention, the anti-TB regimen was resumed, leading to the resolution of the pseudoaneurysms by the fifth month of treatment. Conclusion: Tuberculous aneurysm in pregnant patients with TB is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. It is difficult to diagnose, but TB infection should be considered a possible cause in endemic countries. Surgery combined with anti-TB treatment improves outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Distinguishing between malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions is often challenging due to overlapping biochemical profiles. Conventional diagnostic methods, including cytology and biopsy, are limited by their invasive nature, high costs, and potential complications. Emerging biomarkers, such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and pleural fluid glucose levels, show promise as alternative diagnostic tools, but their clinical utility requires further validation. This study investigated the diagnostic value of TIMP-1 and pleural fluid glucose levels in differentiating malignant from non-malignant pleural effusions and explored their correlation in malignant cases. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study included patients with exudative pleural effusion, categorized as malignant or non-malignant based on cytology and/or biopsy results. Biomarker levels of TIMP-1 and pleural fluid glucose were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and biochemical analysis. Diagnostic thresholds for both biomarkers were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Among 88 patients studied (33 malignant, 55 non-malignant), pleural fluid glucose levels were significantly lower in malignant cases (55.97 vs. 93.71 mg/dL; p=0.001), while TIMP-1 levels were notably higher (13.88 vs. 13.34 pg/mL; p<0.001). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy (86.5%) compared to glucose (70.6%) and the combined biomarker model (76.5%), with the sensitivity and specificity of 84.8% and 83.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Elevated TIMP-1 levels and reduced pleural fluid glucose levels are promising diagnostic biomarkers for malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic tool in clinical practice.

Abstract

Introduction: Pneumothorax is characterized by the presence of air in the pleural cavity, which can result from various pulmonary conditions, including tuberculosis (TB). Conservative management, including the use of chest tubes with ambulatory water-sealed drainage (WSD), offers a viable alternative for patients who are ineligible for surgery or decline surgical intervention. This case report aimed to highlight that all treatment options should be discussed with the patient to determine their primary priority, with consideration for the least invasive option. Case: A 22-year-old woman with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax due to TB presented with shortness of breath following a cough and was found to have a >2cm lucent area on chest X-ray. Initial management included chest tube insertion and WSD. A persistent pneumothorax was identified after 13 days of admission, and surgery was advised, but the patient declined. Conservative management was continued with ambulatory drainage for a total of 34 days, and management of TB as an underlying disease, and adequate nutritional support. Over the course of a month, clinical symptoms improved, and subsequent evaluations confirmed resolution of the pneumothorax. The chest tube was removed. The patient completed 12 months of anti-TB therapy, was declared cured, and experienced no recurrence of pneumothorax. Conservative management, including ambulatory WSD, effectively manages persistent air leak (PAL) for patients unsuitable for surgery. Ambulatory WSD facilitates mobility, reduces hospital stay, and minimizes complications. Proper patient education, nutritional support, and management of underlying conditions are essential for favorable outcomes. Conclusion: The management of persistent pneumothorax should be guided by the patient’s clinical condition. Conservative management can yield favorable results, followed by best supportive management.

Abstract

Introduction: Bronchitis is a primary cause of hospitalization in toddlers due to acute respiratory infections (ARI). Hospitalization is particularly necessary in this age group because their immature immune systems render them highly vulnerable to complications such as respiratory failure and secondary infections. Elevated, inflammatory responses reflected by increased leukocyte counts necessitate close clinical monitoring and intensive care to prevent deterioration. Therefore, inpatient care plays a crucial role in ensuring the clinical stability and effective recovery of toddlers with bronchitis. This study analyzed the predictive factors influencing the length of hospital stay in toddlers with bronchitis treated at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 90 medical records of 105 hospitalized toddlers aged 1-59 months due to bronchitis in 2023. Age, sex, nutritional status, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and leukocyte count were the analyzed variables. The data were analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression. Results: Age and leukocyte count were significantly associated with the length of hospital stay (p<0.05). Younger toddlers were more likely to experience prolonged hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio/OR=0.242), while an increased leukocyte count (leukocytosis) elevated the risk of a longer hospital stay (adjusted OR=4.137). Other variables, including sex, nutritional status, and Hb levels, did not significantly influence prolonged hospitalization. Conclusion: Age and leukocyte count were predictive factors for the length of hospital stay in toddlers with bronchitis at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta, in 2023.

Abstract

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, promotes proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) reflect cellular and molecular changes, aiding in cancer diagnosis. This study explored urinary midkine and VOC profiles as biomarkers for lung cancer screening and early diagnosis. Methods: A case-control, cross-sectional study was conducted on 20 controls (family members of lung cancer patients) and 20 lung cancer patients who had not received therapy. Volatile organic compounds breath analysis and urinary midkine measurements were performed. Volatile organic compounds, including total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), ethanol (C2H5OH), formaldehyde (CH2O), toluene (C7H8), acetone (C3H6O), hexane (C6H14), and methane (CH4), were collected from exhaled breath using Tedlar bags and measured with a µβreath analyzer. Meanwhile, urinary midkine levels were determined using the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Statistical analyses included an independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation, and diagnostic testing with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: Urinary midkine levels were higher in lung cancer patients than in controls (330.56±120.50 vs. 282.18±146.28 pg/mL), although not significant (p>0.05). The independent t-test revealed that ethanol levels were significantly elevated in lung cancer patients (p < 0.001), whereas methane levels were not (p > 0.50). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated sensitivity and specificity: urinary midkine (60%, 60%), ethanol (75%, 75%), and methane (45%, 45%). Conclusion: Ethanol VOC appears to be a promising non-invasive biomarker for the early detection of lung cancer, whereas elevated urinary midkine levels did not demonstrate significant diagnostic value.

Abstract

Introduction: After completion of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) treatment, some people may continue to experience respiratory issues that can progress into post-TB lung disease (PTLD). Individuals with PTLD exhibit suboptimal nutritional status. The loss of appetite is a significant factor influencing nutritional status. Zinc plays a role in hunger control.  Lack of zinc reduces taste sensitivity and food intake. This study examined the relationship between zinc intake and appetite in patients with PTLD at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital, Jakarta, from November 2024 to March 2025. Eighty-five adult patients with PTLD were included. Zinc intake was assessed by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and analyzed by NutriSurvey software. Appetite was measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) for appetite. Results: A total of 85 subjects participated in the study, comprising 78.8% males and 21.2% females. The average daily zinc intake was 4.4 mg/day, and 92.9% of the subjects had zinc intake below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). The average VAS appetite score was 70 mm. A significant positive correlation was found between zinc intake and appetite, indicating that a decrease in zinc intake might result in a reduced appetite (r=0.266, p=0.014). Conclusion: Zinc intake is positively associated with appetite in patients with PTLD. Therefore, zinc intake monitoring is essential for supporting nutritional recovery and lung function in PTLD.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease with a significant treatment burden. Current multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB therapy uses the bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin (BPaL/M) combination. This combination is effective with a short treatment duration. Linezolid is one of the components of the BPaL/M regimen. However, despite its effectiveness, it has side effects that impact treatment management and success. This study aimed to find the association between characteristics and comorbidities with the incidence of linezolid side effects in patients with MDR-TB treated with the BPaL/M regimen. Methods: This was a retrospective analytic study of MDR-TB patients receiving BPaL/M combination. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed using Fisher's exact test to analyze the association between patient characteristics and comorbidities with the incidence of linezolid side effects, namely hematological disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and visual disturbances. Results: There was no significant association between overall patient characteristics and the incidence of linezolid adverse events. However, the results of bivariate analysis showed a significant association in age >50 years old with the incidence of hematological disorders, as well as in patients who have diabetes mellitus (DM) with the incidence of peripheral neuropathy as a side effect of linezolid. Conclusion: Monitoring of MDR-TB patients aged >50 years old and those with DM to minimize the incidence of side effects during treatment is essential. This effort is expected to support the success of the national TB control and treatment program.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health burden to this day, with pulmonary TB (PTB) being one of its most common types. A lapse in the host immune response may lead to the dissemination of TB infection, causing extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) that is more difficult to manage, as it frequently shows atypical complaints. However, its manifestations among immunocompetent patients are rarely well-investigated. Case: A 28-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative woman presented with a history of chronic progressive bilateral headache, followed by diplopia and ptosis of her left eyelid. She also had classical TB symptoms 3 months prior. She had a history of household tuberculous contact for years, but she was never tested for TB nor given an anti-TB treatment (ATT). Chest X-ray revealed cavities and pleural thickening in the apex of the left lung. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed multiple intracranial tuberculomas and meningeal enhancement in most brain areas. GeneXpert tests from both sputum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggested TB infections. She was later diagnosed with simultaneous tuberculous meningoencephalitis (TBME) and PTB. After a 17-day course of oral ATT, streptomycin injection, and intravenous corticosteroid, she was discharged with improved clinical conditions and scheduled for outpatient follow-up until she completed 12 months of ATT. Conclusion: In immunocompetent patients, disseminated TB is an uncommon occurrence and is frequently characterized by atypical symptoms. Findings from this case emphasize that comprehensive assessment and timely therapeutic intervention are critical for minimizing morbidity and mortality of TB infection.

Abstract

Introduction: Patients with lung cancer are vulnerable to opportunistic infections, particularly fungal pulmonary infections such as those caused by Aspergillus spp., due to immunosuppression from both the disease and chemotherapy. Despite the clinical significance of these infections, data on their prevalence and associated factors in patients with lung cancer remain limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Aspergillus spp. and identify associated factors in patients with lung cancer who underwent first-line chemotherapy at a national respiratory referral hospital in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients with lung cancer who had completed at least three cycles of chemotherapy. Sputum cultures were performed using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were tested using immunochromatographic assays. Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were collected. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with Aspergillus spp. infection. Results: Aspergillus spp. was detected in 92.0% of patients via sputum culture, with A. niger and A. fumigatus as the most common isolates. Over 30% showed co-colonization with other fungal species, such as Candida. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high Brinkman Index was independently associated with Aspergillus spp. colonization (p<0.05). Serum IgG antibody positivity was low (4%). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of Aspergillus spp. colonization among patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy, with smoking history emerging as a key risk factor. Targeted fungal screening is recommended, especially in heavy smokers, to facilitate early detection and improve outcomes.
