Aim and Scope The primary goal of the LJID journal is to advance the understanding and knowledge of infectious diseases by publishing high-quality research focused on laboratory-based investigations. We aim to serve as a platform for discovering and exploring biomarkers include markers of Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Immunoserology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Cyto-Histotechnology, and Molecular Biology for infectious diseases. Our scope includes significant findings in public health and epidemiology that are supported by laboratory data. This includes both emerging and established diseases, with a particular focus on their prevalence and characteristics in Indonesia and globally. By disseminating these findings, we hope to contribute to better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies worldwide. Manuscript of original research should be written in 4,000-8,000 words (including tables and figures).

Abstract

Anemia remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, affecting both mothers and children. Numerous studies have examined the relationship between anemia in mothers and children; however, limited research has specifically focused on the association between maternal anemia status and stunted children during the caregiving period. Mothers who experience anemia during this period are more likely to suffer from fatigue and reduced capacity to meet their children’s basic needs, including breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and maintaining hygiene and nutritional adequacy. Suboptimal caregiving practices may increase the risk of anemia in children, particularly among those who are already stunted. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal anemia status and anemia among stunted children. A laboratory-based analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 20 pairs of mothers and stunted children selected through purposive sampling. Hemoglobin levels were measured using the cyanmethemoglobin method and analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that 15% of mothers were anemic, while 65% of stunted children were diagnosed with anemia. However, no significant association was found between maternal anemia status and anemia in stunted children (p > 0,05). In contrast, maternal education level was significantly associated with anemia status in children (p < 0,05). In conclusion, although no statistically significant relationship was observed between maternal anemia and anemia in stunted children, the high prevalence of anemia remains a concern. Various factors may contribute to anemia in mothers and children, including poor dietary intake, chronic infections, limited access to health services, low socioeconomic status, and inappropriate complementary feeding practices. Maternal knowledge emerged as an important factor associated with anemia among stunted children.

Abstract

Parking attendants are considered an occupational group at risk of exposure to environmental pollutants, including lead. Lead can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, and ocular exposure. Chronic accumulation of heavy metals such as lead may induce hepatocellular damage, which can be reflected by increased serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) levels, a biochemical marker of liver injury. Elevated blood lead levels have been associated with hepatotoxic effects in several studies. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between blood lead levels and SGPT levels among parking attendants in Kuanino Subdistrict, Kota Raja District, Kupang City. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using purposive sampling. Ten parking attendants were recruited. Data were obtained through interviews and laboratory examinations measuring blood lead levels and SGPT concentrations. The results showed that blood lead levels ranged from 29 µg/dL to 111 µg/dL, with a mean of 75,5 µg/dL, indicating markedly elevated levels compared to recommended safety thresholds and suggesting potential clinical risk. SGPT levels ranged from 10,2 U/L to 33,1 U/L, with a mean of 21,54 U/L. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated no statistically significant correlation between blood lead levels and SGPT levels (p = 0,331). Future studies involving a larger sample size and additional liver function indicators are warranted to clarify this finding.
