Abstract

Candidemia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. However, the difficulty in establishing a definitive diagnosis causes these high rates. Therefore, a rapid diagnosis process is needed for the early stages of infection as the initial clinical management in pediatric patients with malignancy, especially accompanied by neutropenia. This study aims to determine the risk factors for candidemia in children using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). A cross-sectional study design was used to determine the relationship between neutropenia and broad-spectrum antibiotics with the incidence of candidemia in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The results were analyzed statistically. 33 pediatric patients who met the inclusion criteria, 22 (66.67%) were positive for candida. The sample was dominated by male (66.67%) with a mean age of 4.5 years and had undergone the standard (14 patients) and high-risk (19 patients) chemotherapy protocols. The correlation test revealed no significant correlation between the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics and the incidence of candidemia in pediatric patients with ALL (p= 0.052), neutropenia recorded a notable relationship to those patients (p=0.033). This study shows that neutropenia is a risk factor that affects the prevalence of candidemia in pediatric patients with ALL. Children with ALL who have severe neutropenia are at an increased risk of developing candidemia.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a serious problem in public health. Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are the cause of many deaths.  Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the bacteria that experienced multi-drug resistance (MDR). Infection of Escherichia coli in humans occurs through transmission of fecal-oral. This study, conducted at the Veterinary Public Health Laboratory of Gadjah Mada University, aimed to assess MDR E. coli prevalence in 200 chicken egg samples sourced from poultry farms and supermarkets, alongside 63 cloacal swab samples from broiler poultry in Sleman, Yogyakarta. The study focused on detecting resistance genes including tetA, aadA1, aph(3)IIa, and blaTEM1, also analyzing polymorphisms in the blaTEM1 gene associated with antibiotic resistance. Identification technique of E. coli positivity refers to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 2897:2008, then E. coli identification was performed using the Analytical Profile Index (API) Test 20E Kit. Antibiotic sensitivity was determined by the Kirby Bauer method. Detection of antibiotic resistance genes in E. coli were determine using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. Sequencing and analysis of polymorphism and phylogenetic were performed only in blaTEM1. There were 12 samples identified as having E. coli (1 from chicken eggs and 11 from cloacal swabs), resistance percentages were highest for erythromycin (100%), ampicillin (91.7%), ciprofloxacin (91.7%), sulfamethoxazole (83.3%), streptomycin (83.3%) gentamicin (75%), tetracycline (41.7%), and chloramphenicol (25%). respectively. All of 12 E. coli samples were bacteria with MDR. Resistant genes were prevalent, notably blaTEM1 and aadA1 (100% each), with aph(3)IIa and tetA genes also detected in 58.3% of samples each. Sequencing of the blaTEM1 gene revealed polymorphisms in isolate A8. However, these did not alter its antibiotic resistance phenotype. Sequences of E. coli isolates showed similarities to strains from Vietnam, China, and India, countries with high antibiotic consumption, particularly ampicillin.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a global public health concern, marking 52,995 cases in Indonesia alone, dominated with CRF01_AE strain which is classified as an X4 strain or a virus that uses CXCR4 co-receptor. This highlights the urgent needs  to develop therapies that utilize CXCR4 inhibitors to modulate HIV-1 infection and replication. The aims of this study were to assess the epidemiological and demographic insights on HIV-1 in Indonesia in 2022, and connecting it to the dominated strain to further assess various host genetics known to promote HIV-1 infection, focusing on the co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4. A systematic review was conducted, analyzing published studies and the 2022 HIV/AIDS report from the Ministry of Public Health of Indonesia. Additionally, the study evaluated the therapeutic potential of CXCR4 antagonists, including AMD3100, AMD070, BPRCX807, and MCo-CVX-5c, known for their anti-HIV-1 activity. Among the listed antagonists, AMD070 and MCo-CVX⎯5c are advancing among the others, leading to a potential most advanced combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). This research contributed to the development of personalized treatment strategies for HIV-1 by providing insights into the genetic factors influencing co-receptor regulation and HIV-1 susceptibility.

Abstract

Helminth infections are a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia, where the prevalence ranges from 60% to 90%. One common helminth infection is Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH), which particularly affects children. One of risk factors is children who lack personal hygiene, especially when they are playing with soil. The increased incidence of STH can be prevented by deworming programs, and the role of parents, especially maternal parenting. This study aims to determine the description of the level of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of mothers on deworming the children against STH at the Lampaseh Health Center, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. This research is descriptive with a cross-sectional design. The sample consists of mothers with children aged 2-12 years, selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. The results showed that the level of maternal knowledge of deworming the children against STH categorized as good (95.1%), quite good (3.9%), and less good (1.0%) as well as the attitude of mothers was categorized into good (51.5%), quite good (46.6%), and less good (1.9%). However, the mother’s behavior was good (69.9%) and less good (30.1%). The conclusion was that the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of mothers on deworming the children against STH need to be maintained and improved.

Abstract

One biological strategy for controlling mosquito vectors is using larvivorous fish as larvae predators. Larvivorous fish are an alternative to overcome the problem of larval resistance to temephos.  Among the many varieties of Betta fish, the specific predation rates associated with each variety and their behavior in different water volumes remain unclear. This study aims to analyze the differences in predation time for halfmoon and a  multicolor plakatof varieties of Betta fish against Aedes aegypti larvae in different water volumes.. The research was conducted as a laboratory experiment using a post-test-only design with five replications. Four treatment groups were established, each consisting of one aquarium filled with a specific water volume, one fish, and 25 Ae. aegypti larvae. The tests began at 12:00 WIB, and the predation time was recorded until all larvae were consumed. The findings showed that all All varieties of Betta fish can typically predate Ae. aegypti larvae. Halfmoon and multicolor plakat have the same predation ability against Ae. aegypti larvae (p > 0.05). The Mann Whitney's results indicated that Betta fish placed in water with a water volume of 1 and 3 liters had no significantly different predation against Ae. aegypti larvae (p > 0.05). However, the Kruskall-Wallis test results showed a significant difference in predation abilities between the two varieties when exposed to different water volumes (p < 0.05) . The multicolor plakat variety displayed the fastest predation time in 1 liter of water, whereas the halfmoon variety predated more quickly in 3 liters of water.

Abstract

Ascariasis is currently a health problem in developing countries, especially in rural areas. Successful control of ascariasis is highly dependent on therapeutic interventions, environmental, and individual hygiene practices. Ascariasis is generally asymptomatic but can cause severe problems if treated improperly. Treatment is available, but reinfection may occur. This case aims to emphasize the usage of mebendazole treatment in ascariasis reinfection. A two-year-old boy came to the hospital with mucus diarrhea and worms in the stool. Two months ago, he had the same symptoms and experienced improvement after taking pyrantel pamoate at the previous hospital. The patient was diagnosed with acute diarrhea with mild to moderate dehydration, re-infection ascariasis, and malnutrition. Mebendazole 100 mg was administered twice daily for 3 days. Treatment with mebendazole was repeated twice with an interval of one month after the previous therapy due to the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs in fecal examination. Fecal examination in the third month revealed the absence of Ascaris lumbricoides egg. Mebendazole can be used as therapy for ascariasis reinfections. However, repeated therapy is required in some cases. By integrating repeated therapy with comprehensive control measures, including health education and improved sanitation infrastructure, sustainable progress in combating ascariasis can be achieved.

Abstract

This study investigated the potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from butterfly pea extract (Clitoria ternatea L.) to combat Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The use of a red diode laser as a method for enhancing the antimicrobial activity of AgNPs presents a novel approach to treating bacterial infections.  The red diode laser is crucial, as it activates the AgNPs, enhancing their antimicrobial properties. This combination of light, natural extract, and nanoparticles underscores the innovative approach of using PDT in treating bacterial infections. By integrating these elements, the study aims to provide insights into effective, biocompatible treatments for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  The primary objective of this study is to synthesize and characterize AgNPs using butterfly pea extract and evaluate their effectiveness against S. aureus when combined with red laser irradiation.  Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using an environmentally friendly method that processes butterfly pea extract as the reducing agent for the synthesis of the nanoparticles.  Using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to track the creation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), it was determined that the butterfly pea extract was an effective source of nanoparticles. The particle size distribution and peak absorbance wavelength were determined by characterization utilizing a Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Tryptic soy agar (TSA) plates were used to investigate the antibacterial activity of AgNPs against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The effectiveness of photoinactivation against S. aureus was evaluated by exposing AgNPs at a concentration of 1 mM to a red diode laser for 90 seconds. The results showed that the produced AgNPs had potential antibacterial capabilities when combined with red light therapy. The results demonstrated that the synthesized silver nanoparticles can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) when exposed to a red diode laser for 90 seconds. The findings suggest that photodynamic therapy using green-synthesized AgNPs and red laser irradiation could be a promising approach to controlling bacterial infections like S. aureus. Further research is recommended to explore the underlying mechanisms of photoinactivation and to optimize treatment parameters for in vivo applications on experimental animals.

Abstract

Dermatophytosis, the most common fungal infection in humans, significantly impacts quality of life due to its clinical and cosmetic effects. Its high prevalence underscores the need to evaluate patient profiles to improve management strategies.  This study aim is to identify the most prevalent type of dermatophytosis, patient demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory investigations, and therapy in dermatophytosis into the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of dermatophytosis in a tropical, high-burden region. This descriptive retrospective study used total sampling of medical records of dermatophytosis patients from January 2017 to December 2022.  Tinea corporis and tinea cruris was the most common, while tinea manuum is the least common dermatophytosis. Female adults were the most affected group. Common clinical features for each type included alopecia for tinea capitis, erythematous macules for other types, and nail dystrophy for tinea unguium. Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the commonest pathogen in 2017. Most of the therapies followed Clinical Practice Guidelines with extensive use of griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream. Further research should explore therapeutic outcomes, preventive measures, and factors influencing recurrence and adherence to treatment.
