Abstract

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-COV-2). The COVID-19's symptoms are fatigue, muscle pain, and psychological disorders. The purpose of this study was to describe the occupational characteristics and health conditions of COVID-19 patients who had recovered after being treated at Udayana University Hospital. This study is a descriptive study with a quantitative method and cross-sectional design. The research samples were 110 COVID-19 patients treated at Udayana University Hospital from June to August 2020 and taken using random sampling. The results showed that the highest proportion of respondents were aged between 24-44 years (44.5%), with almost equal proportions of women (50.1%) and men (49.09%). Most of them lived in Denpasar (46.36%). Most respondents work as private sector employees (24.55%), and 70% of them were using personal protective equipment (PPE) while working. Most respondents needed less than seven days to return to work after being declared "in recovery state” (60%), with the remaining 55.5% having a decreased work duration to be less than 8 hours per day. The proportion of respondents with comorbidities was 30.91%. As many as 27.27% were experiencing previously similar symptoms (fever, fatigue, cough) 4 to 5 months after being declared "cured.” COVID-19 patients who have recovered should be monitored for a longer period of time to evaluate the symptom reoccurrence and its impact on their occupational and health conditions.

Abstract

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a causative agent of pneumonia that can spread progressively, cause invasive disease, and increase mortality in humans. Pneumococcal or polysaccharide conjugate vaccination reduces pneumonia rates by vaccine-covered serotypes, but increases infection by non-vaccine serotypes. To determine the polysaccharide capsule serotype of S. pneumoniae isolates that cause infection at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital and patterns of S. pneumoniae susceptibility to antibiotics from April 2017 to March 2022. All S. pneumoniae isolates from April 2017 and April 2022 were stored in STGG media in a freezer at -80 ℃ then subcultured on sheep blood agar. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to determine pneumolysin and capsular polysaccharide serotypes of S. pneumoniae. Of the 22 isolates studied, the order of the number of serotypes from the highest was serotype 19F, 3, 6A/B, 33F, 15B/C, 4, and 6V. Seven isolates were untypeable. Antibiotic sensitivity pattern S. pneumoniae was found to be sensitive to linezolid 91%, vancomycin 86%, levofloxacin and benzylpenicillin 82%, ceftriaxone and clindamycin 73%, erythromycin 55%, and chloramphenicol 45%. Serotype 19F was identified as the most dominant capsular serotype; however, serotypes 33F and 15B/C were also found. Interestingly, the 33F serotype is not covered in the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) but is covered in pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23 (PPSV23), and the 15B/C serotype is not included in either PCV13 or PPSV23. The antimicrobial susceptibility patterns revealed that S. pneumoniae was susceptible to linezolid, vancomycin, benzylpenicillin, and levofloxacin.

Abstract

Periodontitis generаlly begins with gingivitis progresses to alveolar bone increаsing the risk of systemic diseаse. The primаry etiologicаl fаctor in the etiology of periodontаl diseаse is Аggregаtibаcter аctinomycetemcomitаns bacteria. Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) has a bactericidal effect by disrupting the function of bacterial membranes in the cytoplasm. CPC can also absorb negative charges from bacteria, increase bacterial cell wall permeability, decrease cell metabolism, and reduce bacterial attachment to teeth. Use of аntimicrobiаl toothpаste, such as Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), is one strategy to prevent periodontаl disease, but CPC is hаzаrdous in some quаntities. Аs а result, it should be compared to a natural toothpaste, specifically Nigellа sаtivа toothpаste. The objective of this study is to compare the аntibаcteriаl аctivity of nаturаl toothpаste contаining Nigellа sаtivа 3% with toothpаste contаining CPC 0.01% - 0.1% on Аggregаtibаcter аctinomycetemcomitаns. Experimentаl studies are used in this kind of research. The colony count method wаs used to аssess the nаturаl toothpаstes Nigellа sаtivа 3% аnd toothpаste contаining CPC 0.01- 0.1% for their cаpаcity in inhibiting the Аggregаtibаcter аctinomycetemcomitаns.  Natural toothpаste containing Nigellа sаtivа 3% wаs completely inhibiting Аggregаtibаcter аctinomycetemcomitаns, compared to 0.01-0.1% CPC toothpаste. The significаnce level for the stаtisticаl test results wаs 0.000 (p<0.05). The conclution of this research are the nаturаl toothpаste contаining Nigellа sаtivа 3% аnd toothpаste contаining CPC 0.06%–0.1% can effectively suppress the growth of the microorgаnisms Аggregаtibаcter аctinomycetemcomitаns.

Abstract

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a typical healthcare-associated infection that contributes to a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Anaerobe microbiological laboratory examinations cannot be performed at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital, leading to many undetected cases; therefore, it is crucial to determine the risk factors. Identification  of cases may help to prevent, recognize, and  appropriately treat CDI, reducing morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with suspected CDI in elderly patients with diarrhea due to their vulnerability to immunosenescence. This research used medical records as secondary data to determine the risk factors associated with suspected CDI in elderly diarrhea patients at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital during the year period of 2017 to 2021 with total of 70 samples who met inclusion criteria by purposive sampling technique. One hundred percent of all samples had a history of hospitalization for ³ 48 h. There were 53 patients (77.1%) had a history of antibiotic use, 26 (37.1%) proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), 66 (94.3%) chemotherapy, 66 (94.3%) urinary tract infections, 6 (8.6%) kidney disease, and 7 (10%) myocardial infarction. Seven (10%) patients had vascular disease, and 11 (15.7%) had diabetes mellitus. Risk factors associated with suspected CDI in elderly patients with diarrhea at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital include hospitalization ³ for 48 hours, use of antibiotics in the last few months, proton pump inhibitors, decreased immune system, urinary tract infection, kidney disease, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by infection of Severe Acute RespiratoryDistress Syndrom Coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2). COVID-19 patients may develop sepsis, the disregulation ofthe immune system that causes organ dysfunction and life-threatening situations. High mortality of COVID-19and sepsis make it important to study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of CRP levels, neutrophil,and lymphocyte count to mortality of COVID-19 patients with sepsis. This study is an analytic observational studywith a cross-sectional approach. Samples were randomly retrieved of COVID-19 patients with sepsis admittedin referral hospital. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis used SPSS 26th version of Windows. Theresults of this study indicate a significant effect of CRP levels and neutrophil count on mortality of COVID-19patients with sepsis. Meanwhile, lymphocyte count had no significant effects. The multivariate analysis showedits significance value. Partially, the effect of neutrophils on the patient's mortality has a significant value. Theconclusion of this study is CRP levels and neutrophil count simultaneously have an effect on higher mortality ofCOVID-19 patients with sepsis.

Abstract

Legionellosis is a respiratory infection caused by Legionella pneumophila, a bacterium that can infect protozoa and human lung cells. The disease can be mild or severe, and sometimes fatal, especially in immunocompromised people. Some types of antibiotics that can be used to treat Legionella disease are macrolides such as rifampicin, azithromycin and clarithromycin, as well as fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin. The aim was to investigate the distribution and prevalence of Legionella in well water. This study collected and tested water samples from a different well water in Magetan Regency, East Java, Indonesia using DNA extraction, two-step PCR methods, and visualization with 1.5% agarose gel in UV transluminator. The results were visualized with QGIS 3.28.6 and compared with other tests. The results showed that none of the eight water samples were contaminated with L. pneumophila compared with positive control (403 bp).

Abstract

Dengue is one of the most common infectious diseases affecting humans. The virus is transmitted between humans by the Aedes mosquito. It occurs hyperendemically in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide. Dengue infection can affect numerous organs, with the liver being the most frequently affected organ. The clinical spectrum of liver disorders ranges from mild elevation of transaminase enzymes to severe conditions such as acute liver failure. Several mechanisms have been proposed to describe hepatic dysfunction observed in dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, such as immunological injury, hypoxic injury, and direct viral damage due to reduced hepatic perfusion during shock. Glycyrrhizic acid, extracted in the form of glycyrrhizin from the root of the licorice plant Glycyrrhiza glabra, is referred to as Stronger Neo-Minophagen-C (SNMC®). It has shown effectiveness in reducing serum aminotransferase and bilirubin levels, attenuating hepatocyte apoptosis, and producing endogenous interferon. The following is a case report of a 23-year-old woman with dengue fever and elevated liver enzyme level. The patient's vital signs were stable. A physical examination revealed no abnormalities. A complete blood count test showed thrombocytopenia without an elevation of the hematocrit. AST level was 901"‰U/L after admission. Causes of other hepatitis infections, such as hepatitis A, B, and C, were excluded. The dengue IgM and IgG antibody levels were reactive. After several days of hospitalization, the patient experienced clinical improvement after supportive therapy and the administration of glicyrrhizic acid or SNMC®.

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection remains a global health concern characterized by the reduction of CD4 lymphocyte cells and weakened immune systems. Knowing the CD4 count and the factors affecting it is crucial for assessing the immune status of HIV patients. Hematological markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), have been recognized as prognostic tools that were associated with CD4 Count. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of NLR and PLR on CD4 count among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This study used analytic observational method with a cross-sectional on HIV-positive individuals who were treated at Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia. The Chi-Square and Pearson correlation tests were performed to identify the correlation between variables and the linear regression test was done to investigate the association between NLR and PLR with CD4 count. A total of 80 PLHIV were identified for this study, with the median CD4 count of 103 cells/mm3. NLR and PLR were found to be 3.06 and 181.03, respectively. This study found that opportunistic infection, duration on ARV treatment, body mass index, total lymphocyte count, and hemoglobin were significantly associated with CD4 count. The Pearson correlation test revealed a strong correlation between NLR and PLR to CD4 count. Linear regression analyses showed that NLR and PLR could predict the CD4 count. These findings indicate that NLR and PLR could serve as alternative prognostic parameters for monitoring treatment outcomes in PLHIV, particularly in health facilities where access to CD4 count testing is limited.
