Abstract

Hemophilia A is an inherited factor VIII deficiency disease, related to X chromosome. Diagnosis of Hemophilia A is made based on Factor VIII assay. Nowadays, Hemophilia A therapy is by giving factor VIII concentrate, so that monitoring of this therapy must be done by examine Factor VIII activity, but examination of Factor VIII activity is currently still limited in facilities and quite expensive. One of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) optical methods can provide information about every stage of coagulation through clot waveform analysis. Factor VIII activity can describe in slope 2 of clot waveform analysis, which deficiency of factor VIII will cause slope 2 slighter than normal, because the clot form is not optimal and the light transmission recorded at clot waves do not decrease maximally. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between slope 2 on the clot waveform analysis of the optical method on aPTT test with Factor VIII activity in hemophilia A subjects. This was a correlative observational study cross sectional study, conducted at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in August 2018-September 2019. The subjects were member of Hemophilia A sufferers of West Java Hemophilia Society. The research subjects were assesed for Factor VIII activity and optical method of aPTT. Slope 2 calculated from the clot waveform analysis that formed in aPTT examination. This study involved 43 subjects, with a median age of 6 years, an age range of 1-45 years, and 51.2% of patients aged 6-17 years. The results of Factor VIII activity in this study had a median 0% with a range 0-25.9%, and the value of slope 2 had a median 1.0%T/sec with a range 0.5-3.5%T/sec. The correlation test between slope 2 and Factor VIII activity with 95% confidence interval using Spearman's correlation test showed very strong positive correlation which statistically significant (r = 0.854 and p <0.001). Conclusion: there was a statistically significant very strong positive correlation between slope 2 on the clot waveform analysis of aPTT optical method test with the activity of Factor VIII in Hemophilia A.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem worldwide. The bacteriological diagnosis of TB is confirmed by a sputum smear, which shows a positive result. Sputum culture conversion at two months of TB therapy has a higher possibility of completing therapy; however, this method is time-consuming and expensive. This study aimed to analyze the initial smear and smear conversion of sputum in the intensive phase therapy as a prognostic determinant of appropriate time-targeted therapy. This was a retrospective study on pulmonary TB patients collected from January 2016 to December 2017. The research subjects at the beginning of the intensive phase were divided into Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB)-negative and AFB-positive (1+, 2+, 3+) sputum smears. The sputum smear examination was evaluated at the end of the intensive phase and the end of the six-month treatment. The pulmonary TB patients in this study were 430 patients, dominated by males with the main distribution age of 45-54 years. At the beginning of the intensive phase, the negative results of the AFB examination were 85.4% and the total positive results with 1+, 2+, or 3+ were 14.6%. At the end of the intensive phase, the sputum smear examination of all patients showed 100% conversion, and the sputum smear examination at the end of six months of treatment showed negative results. This study has revealed that sputum conversion at the end of the 2-month intensive phase can be used as a prognostic determinant of timely complete therapy on pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract

An automatic hematology analyzer is an essential instrument for the modern laboratory. A new hematology analyzer must undergo comparability testing with a currently used hematology analyzer. This study aimed to compare the performance of the Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000 hematology analyzers. This study involved 96 EDTA blood samples from patients aged 18 to 85 years old at a hospital in Jakarta. A complete blood count was performed on each blood sample using two above-mentioned analyzers Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000. The results from both instruments were compared by using the Pearson correlation test and the Passing-Bablok regression analysis to determine the agreement in performance between the two instruments. Between the Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000, there was a high degree of agreement and correlation concerning the investigated parameters with r > 0.900 and p<0.001 for the parameters RBC, HGB, WBC, HCT, MCV, MCH, and neutrophil, monocyte, and eosinophil counts. The MCHC parameter had the values of r=0.797; p=0.0001, while the lymphocytes parameter had r=0.734 and p=0.0001. Only the basophils parameter showed a different result between the two aforementioned analyzers, with r=-0.179 and p=0.102. The majority of complete blood count parameters showed an excellent correlation and a high degree of agreement between the two instruments. The Dymind DH-76 hematology analyzer meets international standards (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards/NCCLS) and can be used for hematological assay in the laboratory.

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in the community, including infants and children. Urine culture is the gold standard test for UTI detection, but it is expensive, impractical and takes a long time. At present, automated urinalysis methods have been used by many for UTI screening. The aim of this study was to determine the cut-off values of leukocyturia and bacteriuria using flow cytometry (FCM) method using automated urinalyzer Sysmex UX-2000 for screening of UTI in infant patients aged 0-12 months. A cross-sectional study with a diagnostic test was conducted at the Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta on August - October 2019. A total of 34 patients underwent urine culture examination and automatic urine analyzer using Sysmex UX-2000. Cut-off values of leukocyturia and bacteriuria were determined from the ROC curve followed by determination of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy and likelihood ratio. The cut-off value for leukocyturia in infant patients aged 0-12 months was 46.2 cells/μL with a sensitivity value of 88%, specificity 68%, PPV 50%, NPV 94%, accuracy 73% and likelihood ratio 2.77. The cut-off value of bacteriuria in infant patients aged 0-12 months was 247.6 cells/μL with a sensitivity value of 66%, specificity 64%, PPV 40%, NPV 84%, accuracy 64% and likelihood ratio 1.85. Cut-off values of leukocyturia and bacteriuria using automatic urine analyzer Sysmex UX-2000 with negative predictive value (NPV) >80% can be used for UTI screening in infant patients aged 0-12 months.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In severe cases, the immune response may cause a cytokine storm. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and D-dimer are parameters that may be used to predict the severity of COVID-19. This study aims to determine the diagnostic validity of the combination of NLR and D-dimer on the severity of COVID-19 patients. The study population was hospitalized COVID-19 patients whose diagnosis were confirmed by real time-PCR. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. The cut-off value was based on the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve (ROC) analysis and the combination of NLR and D-Dimer validity was tested against the severe and non-severe COVID-19 groups by assessing sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV), positive Likelihood Ratio (LR+) and negative Likelihood Ratio (LR-). There were 1,314 subjects. Seven hundred and forty-four were in the severe group, 570 in the non-severe group. The combination of NLR > 4.02 and D-dimer > 1.12 mg/L on the severity of COVID-19 showed a sensitivity value of 70.8%, specificity 98.3%, PPV 98.1%, NPV 72.1%, LR+ 40.38 and LR- 0.30. The combination of NLR >4.02 and D-dimer >1.12 mg/L for the severity of COVID-19 showed high specificity and PPV (98.3% and 98.1%). This was also supported by the LR+ value, which indicates that if NLR > 4.02 and D-dimer > 1.12 mg/L, it may cause severe COVID-19 by 40.38 times compared to NLR ≤4.02, and D-dimer ≤1.12 mg/L. The combination of NLR and D-Dimer can be used to predict the severity of COVID-19.

Abstract

Sepsis leads to local and systemic activation of different response systems, including coagulation and fibrinolysis. An overwhelming inflammatory response may lead to organ failure, and the coagulation and fibrinolysis involvement may lead to Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). Special regard is given to the diagnosis of DIC by the use of scoring systems, which are, APACHE II, SAPS II, International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH), and Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (JMHW). A large variety of fibrin compounds can be detected in plasma from septic patients with intravascular coagulation activation. Coagulation activation is indicated by elevated plasma levels of D-dimer, prothrombin fragments, and Thrombin-Antithrombin (TAT) complexes. Fibrin-Related Markers (FRMs) identified in sepsis are D-dimer, fibrinogen, Soluble Fibrin Monomer (SFM), and Fibrin Degradation Products (FDP). Hemostatic molecular markers, such as TAT, Plasmin-Plasmin Inhibitor Complex (PPIC), D-dimer, and SFM are better for the diagnosis of pre-DIC. No single biomarker of sepsis may be ideal, but many are helpful in terms of at least identifying critically ill patients who need more careful monitoring. As each biomarker has limited sensitivity and specificity, it may be interesting to combine several biomarkers. The purpose of this literature review was to increase knowledge about laboratory tests of FRMs and provide current knowledge and insight into these biomarkers related to DIC-sepsis. The method used in this literature review was a traditional review. Search, identify, and select relevant literature on PubMed–CBI and Google Scholar based on keywords, 30 journals were obtained from the two search engines.

Abstract

Infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood malignancy with Febrile Neutropenia (FN). Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) is involved in host defense against bacterial invasion. However, changes in TNF-α levels with the possibility of bacterial infection confirmed by blood culture are still unclear. The study aimed to evaluate TNF-α levels in childhood malignancy with FN who had blood cultures with a control group. Observational cross-sectional analysis during January-October 2020 at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Childhood malignancy with FN episodes as the case group and nonfebrile neutropenia as the control. TNF-α levels examination used plasma with the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) sandwich method. Blood culture results were obtained from the patient's medical record. The differences in TNF-α levels in the case groups and control were analyzed by the T-square test for two independent samples or Mann-Whitney U according to the data distribution. There were 18 cases group with 30 FN episodes and 15 controls. There were 8(26.66%) positive and 22(73.33%) negative blood cultures from 30 FN episodes. The mean TNF-α levels in the positive blood culture cases group and control: 14.72±5.77 and 9.78±2.74 pg/mL, and the median (min-max) negative blood cultures: 12.19 (7.01-25.70) pg/mL. There was no significant difference in TNF-α levels in the positive and negative blood culture cases group (p=0.527), but there was a significant difference in the control (p=0.049 and p=0.027). Therefore, TNF-α levels cannot be used as a marker of bacterial infection in the case groups.

Abstract

Locally established clinical laboratory reference value are required to interpret laboratory test results for screening, diagnosis, prognosis, determining retest criteria or as microscopic confirmation. The objective of this study is to establish urine sediments reference value by using automated urine flow cytometry, investigating erythrocyte, leukocyte, epithelial cells, types of epithelial cells, bacteria, casts, pathologic casts, crystals, yeast, sperm, and mucus in Indonesian population using Sysmex UF-4000. A cross sectional study was conducted in October 2018 – April 2019 at R. Said Sukanto National Police Hospital in Jakarta. The study involved 240 participants comprised of clinically healthy 120 males and 120 females aged 18-65, with normal urine chemistry, hematology, blood glucose, liver function (AST, ALT), and renal function (urea, creatinine). The reference value was reported in microliter (μL) or in High Performance Field (HPF) or Low Performance Field (LPF). Mann-Whitney test through MedCalc software was used to test significant differences with p value <0.05. This study observed significant differences between males and females in erythrocyte, epithelial cells, epithelial cell variety, bacteria, pathologic casts, and yeast—which are evidently higher in female patients. However, the mucus in LPF levels is found to be higher in male patients instead of the female, disparate than current reference value. Therefore, the reference value results were separated between the two groups in those aspects, whereas the results of other urine sediment characteristics studied were combined. As most reference value obtained are still within range of existing references, reference value established with Sysmex UF-4000 can be useful.

Abstract

Sepsis is a medical emergency that describes systemic inflammation reaction to infectious process that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Sequential Organ Failure Assesment (SOFA) score is used to assess severity of organ dysfunction in septic patients. Immature platelet fraction (IPF) value can be used to evaluate thrombopoiesis. Research shows IPF can provide information regarding inflammatory activity and disease prognosis. A high IPF value in septic patient indicates the formation and recruitment of immature platelets that are triggered by infection. The aim of this study was to determine correlation between IPF value and SOFA score in sepsis patients. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design in 28 patients with sepsis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducted IPF tests at Central Laboratory of Dr M. Djamil Padang Hospital. The study was conducted from February 2020 to March 2021. Value of IPF was performed using automated hematology analyzer with flow cytometry method and SOFA scores are assessed by clinicians and obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test, significant if p <0.05. Median value of IPF in patients with sepsis was 4.8 (1.4-15.7) %. Median of SOFA score in patients with sepsis was 5,5 (2-12). Correlation test showed a strong positive correlation between IPF values and SOFA score with r= 0.684 and p <0.05. There was a strong positive correlation between IPF values and SOFA score in sepsis.
