Tuberculosis (TB) ranked the 10th highest cause of death in the world in 2016 according to the World Health Organization (WHO). To date, TB remains a top priority and is one of the goals in Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), suggesting an urgent need of rapid detection methods for proper diagnosis and treatment. Rapid molecular test using Xpert MTB/RIF is one of the detection methods for TB diagnosis and it is expected to be able to early detect TB cases and anti-tuberculosis drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the profile of rapid molecular test of tuberculosis using Xpert MTB/RIF device in the period of September 2017-August 2018 at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. This study was retrospective research with a cross-sectional method using secondary data of rapid molecular test of Xpert MTB/RIF in the period of September 2017-August 2018. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 22 and Chi-Square test with a significance value of 0.05. From 527 sputum samples, 96.8% adult TB was predominantly found. The "MTB not detected", “MTB detected”, and “MTB detected with Rif resistance” result was predominantly found in the 74.6% TB non-HIV group; 42.4% TB-HIV group, and 3.8% Non-HIV TB group. There were remarkably higher number of “MTB not detected” results of rapid molecular tests using Xpert MTB/RIF device in the group of pediatric and adult TB. The proportion of "MTB not detected" was higher in the TB-Non-HIV group; while the "MTB detected, Rif-sensitive" was higher in the TB-HIV group and the "MTB detected, Rif-resistance" was higher in the TB-Non-HIV group. It was recommended to carry out further research by performing diagnostic tests consisting of Acid-Fast Bacilli, rapid molecular test with Xpert MTB/RIF, and MTB culture.

Liver disease in patients with HIV infection can be caused by hepatotropical virus co infection or as a side effect of antiretroviraltherapy. The cause of HAART effects on liver fibrosis among patients with HIV infection is not yet known. The monitoring of the incidenceof liver fibrosis can be done with non-invasive markers, such as FIB 4 score. FIB-4 score is calculated by the formula: Age x AST/totalplatelet x √ALT. This is carried out to know the comparison of the FIB-4 score in HIV patients before and after first-line HAART therapy,with or without HCV coinfection. This study was a comparative analysis of retrospective data of patients at the Outpatient Teratai Clinic,Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, from 2003 through 2013. The research subjects consisted of 64 patients with HIV infection who receivedfirst-line HAART therapy for more than 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed by Wilcoxon test for two paired samples. Themedian scores of FIB-4 from HIV infection patients with or without HCV co infection before and after the administration of first-lineHAART therapy were 0.854 and 0.906 (p=0.837). The HCV co infected patients had median scores of FIB-4 before and after treatment at0.854 and 0.899 (p=0.204). Those without HCV co infection had median scores of FIB-4 before and after treatment at 2.726 and 0.912(p=0.013).Treatment with first-line HAART did not lead to a change in the FIB-4 score. Those who were co infected with HCV showed nodifferences in the FIB-4 scores before and after treatment with first-line HAART.

Sepsis is an infection-induced syndrome, mostly caused by bacteria, of organ dysfunctions caused by host response dysregulations. One of the simplest sepsis-indicator is platelet. This study aimed to determine whether platelet indexes i.e. Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), platelet count, Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), plateletcrit (Pct), and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), could assess sepsis severity by procalcitonin (PCT). This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Clinical Pathology Adam Malik Hospital Medan from October to December 2016. Patients who had their full blood count examined with increased PCT ≥0.05 ng/mL were included. Sixty four of 71 patients with increased PCT were included in this study and separated into 3 groups based on their PCT levels (I = ≥0.05 – <2 ng/mL; II = ≥2 - <10 ng/mL; III = ≥10 ng/mL). Platelet count and plateletcrit showed a significant decrease when group I or II were compared to group III (p <0.05), but when the group I was compared to the group II there was no significance. On the other hand, the other platelet indexes showed no significance amongst the groups. Higher sepsis severity based on PCT affected more of the platelet number, as the result of platelet destructions caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines and endotoxins.

Infarction stroke is a leading cause mortality and disability in the world. Appropriate management of acute infarction stroke will be able to reduced morbidity and mortality of the disease. Many laboratory parameters which can be done for detecting risk of prognosticfactors, one of them is serum uric acid concentration. The aim of this study is to know if hyperuricemia is prognostic factor for clinicaloutcome in acute infarction stroke.A prospective cohort study was carried out, compare between two groups of exposed and non-exposedgroup. Subjects who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria was involved in the study. The exposed group was a group of acute infarctionstroke patients who exposed to hyperuricemia, in other hand, patient who do not have hyperuricemia was separated as the non-exposedgroup. Inception cohort was applied when patient admits to emergency unit during 48 hours of onset, age ≥ 40 years old, man orwoman, have signed informed consent are inclusion criteria. Gadjah Mada Stroke Scale and serum uric acid concentration was measured on admission. Patient with haemorhage stroke and who are taking medicine that cause decrease uric acid are excluded. Test of serum uric acid concentration was performed by using Vitros 250, dry chemistry system. Patients were followed up 7 days in Neurology Unitand the outcome were measured by evaluating a score of Gadjah Mada Stroke Scale. Prognostic factor hyperuricemia has RR= 2.159(95% CI: 0.684-6.816), p= 0.158 for outcome. Hyperuricemia is not be evident as prognostic factor in acute infarction stroke.

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a major problem threatening Indonesian inhabitants as well as in many countries. Each year AMI patients are increasing. ST2 is a novel cardiac marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to know and find the diagnostic value of ST2 serum in patients with AMI. This cross sectional study was conducted on 46 patients who had chest pain as the main complaint in the Emergency Department, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya between April 20 to July 20, 2013. The sera were examined for ST2, cTn-T, the diagnostic value was determined using the acute myocardial infarction clinical criteria according to the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (2007) as the gold standard. The results of ST2 serum levels measurement showed a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 70% at a cut-off value of ST2 16.64 ng/mL and AUC 0.878, p=0.000. The concordance examination between using cTn-T levels and ST2 was 48.1%. A significanct correlation was obtained with a correlation coefficient r=0.489, p=0.001 between the levels of cTn-T and ST2. Based on this study, the ST2 serum levels can be used for screeningto aid the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. However, there is a weak correlation and concordance between cTn-T with ST2. Thus, the researchers need a further study to determine the diagnostic value of ST2 for the detection of acute myocardial infarction.

Based on the results of overseas researchers, Cryptosporidiosis occurs in immunosuppressive cases with chronic diarrhoea. In this study the researchers would like to know exactly whether that Cryptosporidiosis occurs also in paediatric HIV patients. The latest data show that the incidence of opportunistic infection is characterized by persistent diarrhoea and severe malnutrition as a complication of the paediatric HIV-infected patients is increasing. The objects of the research were fifteen paediatric HIV-infected patients which treated at the Paediatric Gastro Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya due to persistent diarrhoea. Paediatric patients were less than five years old, suffered persistent diarrhoea more than two weeks with severe malnutrition. Stool specimens were transported using 10% formalin. The stool suspension was filtered, and distilled water was added followed by centrifugation (sedimentation method). The precipitate material was placed on a glass object and dried, and then fixed by methanol and stained with Acid Fast Staining and trichrome staining. The protozoa Cryptosporidium spp. was observed under a binocular microscope with 100× magnification (immersion oil) objective. The result was confirmed as positive if a red spherical or oval formation of oocyste of 4–6 micron appeared. Sixty percent of the 15 paediatric HIV-infected patients with chronic diarrhoea showed positive cryptosporidiosis. Cryptosporidiosis is one of the opportunistic infections resulting in chronic diarrhoea in paediatric HIV-infected patients. The results of the present research indicate that the enteric parasite Cryptosporidium spp. was the main cause of persistent diarrhoea in paediatric HIV-infected patients

The clinical manifestations of dengue virus infection are varied and thus a specific diagnostic examination is required. Usually antidengueIgM is often used, but the presence in the circulation is 3−8 months long. NS1 is sensitive in the detection of primary infection,whereas IgG is more better used in secondary infection. The examination of anti-dengue IgA as a new marker is estimated to be ableto detect the acute primary and secondary infection, however the diagnostic value of anti-dengue IgA is not much well known for theIndonesian population. This study was done at the Tropical Infectious Disease Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya during February– April 2013. The samples consisted of 37 sera from patients infected by dengue virus and 37 sera from those non one (dengue virusinfection patients). The NS1 serum, anti-dengue IgM and anti dengue IgG were examined by ELISA and anti-dengue IgA was examined byan indirect immunochromatography method using Assure@ Dengue IgA Rapid Test (MP Biomedicals Asia Pacific Pte Ltd). The diagnosticvalue was analyzed by 2x2 table with a confidence interval of (CI) 95%. The used gold standards were from the 1997th WHO criteriaand one of the positive dengue serological tests by ELISA (NS1/anti dengue IgM/anti dengue IgG). AUC and anti-dengue IgA cut-off weredetermined by ROC curve. The Diagnostic value of anti-dengue IgA showed a sensitivity and specificity of 83.8% (67.3 to 93.2) and 81.1%(64.3 to 91.4). A positive predictive value of 81.6% (65.1 to 91.7) and a negative predictive value of 83.3% (66.5 to 93.0) was found. Thepositive likelihood ratio was 4.4 times (2.2 to 8.8) and negative likelihood ratio of only 0.2 times (0.09 to 0.42). The best cut off valueof 0.2 was shown by the area under the curve of 83.5%. Based on this study, the diagnostic value of anti-dengue IgA had a good validityfor the diagnosis of dengue virus infection.

Patients in intensive care unit (ICU) have a high risk for systemic bacterial infection. Serum procalcitonin (PCT) known as a markerto predict bacterial infection, systemic inflammation responsse (SIRS) or sepsis. Another simple and easy indicator is by using leucocytecount-differential count, absolute neutrophyl count (ANC), and immatur/total (I/T) neutrophyl ratio. The aim of this study was toknow the comparation of the leucocyte count-differential count, ANC, and I/T ratio with procalcitonin serum value in patients suspectto systemic bacterial infection at ICU. A cross sectional study on 20 patients suspected with systemic bacterial infection in ICU. The datawas classified in 3 groups based on PCT serum value: group A (< 0.5 ng/mL), group B (0.5–2 ng/mL) and group C (> 2 ng/mL). Thedata was analysed by one way ANOVA test if normally distributed, and by Kruskall-Wallis test if not normally distributed. Significancywas confirmed at p < 0.05. A post hoc and Mann-Whitney test performed on a significant result. The frequency of group A was 3 (15%),group B = 5 (25%), and group C = 12 (60%). There is no significant difference on leucocyte count in 3 groups (p = 0.953), neutrophylI/T ratio (p = 0.259), ANC (p = 0.91), eosinophyl count (p = 0.287), segment neutrophyl (p = 0.094), and monosit (p = 0.152).There was a difference on lymphocyte count (p = 0.01) between group C with group A and group B and there was a difference on staffneutrophyl count (p = 0.029) and total neutrophyl count (p = 0.003) between group A with group B and C (p = 0.029). In this studywere found differences on lymphocyte, staff neutrophyl and total neutropyl count to the PCT value

INTRODUCTION. Children with epilepsy should take long-term anti-epileptic drugs. Long-term use of anti-epileptic drugs can reduce vitamin D levels. Low vitamin D will lead to low blood calcium levels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between vitamin D and calcium levels in newly diagnosed epileptic children and ≥6 months after therapy. METHOD. These was an analytical observational study with cross sectional research design. The vitamin D examination instrument uses the ELFA method (enzyme linked fluorescent assay) with the Vidas instrument from bioMerieux. Samples were collected during June - August 2018 from Inpatient and Outpatient Clinics. The samples were divided into new diagnosis of epilepsy group and 6 months after therapy group. Each group was measured for vitamin D and serum calcium levels. The relationship between the two parameters were analyzed using T-Test independent. RESULTS. From the 19 new diagnosis of epilepsy, there were 57.9% low vitamin D and 10.5% low calcium levels. From the 20 subjects 6 months after therapy, 70% low vitamin D and 25% low calcium levels. There were a relationship between vitamin D and calcium levels in patients with newly diagnosed and ≥6 months after therapy. DISCUSSION. Low vitamin D and low calcium levels were found more in the anti-epileptic therapy group than the new diagnosis group of epilepsy. Low vitamin D levels can be caused by the use of long-term antiepileptic drugs that will affect serum calcium levels. CONCLUSION. This study showed a significant relationship between vitamin D and serum calcium levels in patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy and 6 months after therapy. Vitamin D and calsium serum examination should be done in every patient who gets long term therapy of antiepileptic drugs. KEY WORDS. Vitamin D, calcium, epilepsy, ELFA.

About 70% of all nosocomial infections occur in surgical patients. In open fracture, there is contact with the environment or unsterilebody compartment, so that bacterial contamination may occur and cause infection. Besides debridement, prophylactic antibiotics havebeen used as a standard procedure in the open fracture management. This procedure may cause antibiotics resistance leading to increasethe number of infections. The aim of this retrospective study was to know the characteristics, microbial pattern, and sensitivity of 35cultures and sensitivity test of open fracture patients in Orthopaedics Department of Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital during the period ofJune 2009–June 2010. The most common bacteria found were Proteus mirabilis (26%), Klebsiella pneumonia (14. 8%), and Providenciaalcalifaciens (14%). The sensitivity test for antimicrobials showed that most of the 19 antimicrobials, were resistant. The sensitiveantimicrobial is Meropenem.
