Correlation Between Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) Infection and Eosinophil Score on Residents Around Landfill of Mojosongo Village, Jebres Sub-District, Surakarta City
type: item
description: Introduction: Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) infected more than one million people all over the world. In Indonesia, the prevalence of STH infection is still high in a few places, some of them are 40-60 % of all ages, with different species of helminth and intensity. Citizens around landfills usually has unhealthy sanitary and life style. Some data indicated that they often suffer alergic symptoms, like itchy on the skin and chronic coughing which could be due to STH infection. Objectives: This study was held to know the relationship between STH infection and eosinophil score at citizens around landfills of Kelurahan Mojosongo Kecamatan Jebres Kota Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: Stool and blood sample from 96 citizens of study site who agreed to participate (by informed consent) were collected. Kato-Katz method was used to determine the helminths infection intensity. Eosinophil count was done on thin blood smear stained with Giemsa to identify the percentage of eosinophil among other cells on the blood smear subjects. . Results: Prevalence of STH infection was 7,29% (7/96) with egg density of 61 Eggs Per Gram Feses (EPGF). Single type of helminth infection occured among the participants and there was no co-infection. Hookworm infection was 6,25% (6/96) and Trichuris trichiura infection was 1,04% (1/96). There was no Ascaris lumbricoides infection. All of them were fall into catagory of light infection. The prevalence of eosinophilia was 27,8% (26/96) with 2,63% mean osinophil percentage. There was a very weak association between STH infection intensity and eosinophil score (r=0,190; p=0,032). Conclusion: The prevalence of STH infection of the population around landfills of Mojosongo, Surakarta was 7,29% and predominated by Hookworm.

type: item
description: Introduction: Co-infection of TB/HIV is currently a serious health threat to the world population. Efforts to control tuberculosis and HIV programs still facing obstacles, especially if the two diseases allied, it will be more difficult and challenging for both prevention program. Both TB and HIV have higher burden disease and need to be cope urgently. Adequate treatment of TB in co-infected patients can reduce the high morbidity and mortality of patients, prevent treatment failure and improve the success rate. Objectives: Determine the proportion of successful treatment of TB among HIV-TB patients in H. Adam Malik General Hospital between 2011-2013 and identified the factors that influenced the success of their TB treatment. Methods: A case control study design using medical records of HIV-TB patients in VCT polyclinic of H. Adam Malik General Hospital from 2011-2013. Results: The average success rate of TB treatment among HIV-TB patients in H. Adam Malik General Hospital was 68.56%. Male, age ≤40 years, pulmonary TB, CD4 count <200, anemia, HIV stage 3 and adherence to TB treatment dominated this research, (60,82%, 76,29%, 71,13%, 74,23%, 60,82%, 55,15% and 53,09% respectively). Gender (aOR 3.87 95% CI: 1.21 - 18.31), CD4 101-200 (aOR 5.06 95% CI: 1.06 - 24.04), CD4> 200 (aOR 15, 80 95% CI: 3.18 - 78.64), status of anemia (aOR 2.00 95% CI: 1.22 - 3.26) and adherence to TB treatment (aOR 6.16 95% CI: 2.07 - 18.31) were statistically significant in multivariate analysis. Other factors such as age, classification of TB disease and HIV stage were not significant (p values> 0.05). Conclusion: Female, CD4 cell counts 101-200, CD4 count> 200, status of anemia and adherence to TB treatment determined the successful of TB treatment among HIV-TB patients. Implementation of TB/HIV collaborative program and DOTS strategy in TB treatment increases the success rate of TB treatment among HIV-TB patients at H. Adam Malik General Hospital.

A Study of Aedes aegypty Susceptibility Against Cypermetrin at Elementary Schools Yogyakarta
type: item
description: Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Yogyakarta is an endemic area of DHF. One of the efforts of eradicating DHF in Yogyakarta was fogging with cypermethrin insecticide. Cypermethrin had been used since 2008 with a frequency of 1.469 times. However, repeated and prolonged application of chemical insecticide in an ecosystem unity may lead to vector resistance against the particular insecticide. Monitoring and early detection for the vector susceptibility status against insecticide was necessary in potential locations of DHF transmission, such as in elementary school. Detection of vector susceptibility status against insecticide could be conducted with susceptibility test using 0.05% cypermethrin impregnated paper. Objectives: To find out the status of Aedes aegypti susceptibility against cypermethrin insecticide and the relationship between the status of Aedes aegypti susceptibility with the frequency of cypermethrin application. Methods: An analytical observational research was conducted using cross-sectional design. Female Aedes aegypti from mosquito eggs collected at 72 state Elementary Schools in 45 villages in Yogyakarta were evaluated. Detection of Aedes aegypti susceptibility against cypermethrin was conducted using WHO standard method, namely, susceptibility test, which used 0.05% cypermethrin impregnated paper. Results: Aedes aegypti at elementary schools in Yogyakarta had been resistant against 0.05% cypermethrin, with an average mortality of 4.03%. No correlation between Aedes aegypti susceptibility in the elementary schools in Yogyakarta and the frequency of cypermethrin application. This might be attributable to the use of household insecticide and to the resistance history of the test animals. Conclusions: The population of Aedes aegyptiat the State Elementary Schools in Yogyakarta was found to be resistant against 0.05% cypermethrin. No relationship between Aedes aegypti susceptibility status and the freque…

description: Intrduction: Dengue fever is an emerging pandemic-prone viral disease in many parts of the world also in Indonesia. Java Island contributed about 71% of all cases occurring in the country. Sleman District represented nearly 30% of total infections in Yogyakarta Province. Godean sub-district contributes 89 cases in 2013 and most of them were come from Sidoluhur village. Instead of community activities Dengue cases are increasing every year. Vector control is one way to control it. This research was tried to explore how community coalition can prevent Dengue fever cases and how Dengue vector can be controlled by engaging community. Methods: This research was used ethnographic study. For collecting data in-depth interview and participatory observation was conduct. Collecting data and analysis data was done simultaneously. Results: Community in Sidoluhur village aware that Dengue fever is a serious health problem. With local knowledge, believes, customs, practice and attitudes community people are most influenced group. After getting fever people try to apply their own knowledge for prevention. Most of them do not know the reason of Dengue spread, how it breed, where it breed also how to control. Practices of Dengue prevention like Friday cleaning movement, mosquito eradication flick and child health task force are good programs but absent of continuity so Dengue cases are increasing. Cultural and medical health seeking behaviors were seen among the people. For building coalition capacity sharing information is also immobile. Conclusion: Dengue fever is still remaining a strong factor that influences public health care in Sidoluhur village. To control Dengue fever capacity building, policy implementation based on community, networking among stakeholders, blending the cultural and medical knowledge of Dengue and overall comprehensive Dengue control approaches need to be developed.
