Abstract

Introduction: Amfoang District is one of malaria-endemic areas in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The areas are adjacent to the shore at the lowland and adjacent to the forest at the highland respectively. Residential areas are surrounded by forest, shrubs, field, streams and pools of water. Most population work as farmers, have low education levels and do not use mosquito bed netObjectives: This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the incidence of malaria risk and determine the pattern of clustering of cases in the Amfoang Barat Daya, District of Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur.Methods: Mass blood surveys were conducted to investigate malaria cases in three villages in October 2011, January 2012 and April 2012. The 3,515 blood samples were collected for thick blood film. Riskfactors were identified through questionares and OR were calculated. Significance was assumed at p <0.05. Coordinates were taken from residence of patients by GPS and analyzed with Purely Spatial Bernaullymodel to investigate any cluster of malaria cases. River with potentials breeding place was buffered 1km by ArcGis to determine whether malaria cases were in the mosquito fly distance areas.Results: Dry land farmer, education, malaria symptomatic, habitual of sleep outdoors, farming and fishing (06.00pm-06.00 am), outdoors gathering (06.00pm-06.00 am), wooden wall, mosquito wire, ventilation, plafond, animal shelter distance, breeding place and climate were insignificant for prevalence of malaria. Bed nets and breeding place were significant for prevalence of malaria. Potential of malaria vectors (An. barbirostris and An. sundaicus) were found in lowlands but was not found in highlands. Bed nets is protective factor from incidence of malaria. One primer most likely cluster and 3 secondary clusters were insignificant.Conclusion : Lowland has risk from malaria. The use of bed nets during 06.00pm – 06.00am is as protective factor for malaria OR 0.1.Keyword:Amfoang Barat Daya, risk factormalaria, thick blood smear, Anopheles sp., bed nets,mapping

Abstract

Introduction: Intestinal protozoa is one of the etiology of gastroenteritis in developing countries. The risk of intestinal protozoan infection increases among HIV/AIDS patients. HIV/AIDS patients with CD4+ T cell < 200 cells/μL are easily infected by intestinal protozoa causing broad clinical symptoms including diarrhea and even death. However, it can be prevented by understanding various risk factors which have role in thepathogenesis of intestinal protozoan infection.Objectives: To study the prevalence and risk factors which aff ect intestinal protozoan infection among HIV/AIDS patients in RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta.Methods: Data from 32 HIV/AIDS patients in RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta in December 2009-March 2010 were obtained by questionnaires, medical records, and macroscopic-microscopic examination of fecal samples with phormol-eter method and acid-fast staining. Data was analysed using Chi square test and multivariate analysis. A p value less than 0.05 is considered as a signifi cantly diff erent.Results: Prevalence of intestinal protozoan infection in HIV/AIDS patients in RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta was 81.2%. Intestinal protozoa found in fecal examination were Cryptosporidium sp. (60.98%), Microsporidiumsp. (19.51%), Entamoeba histolytica (9.76%), Cyclospora cayetanensis (4.88%), Blastocystis hominis (2.44%), and Giardia lamblia (2.44%) (n = 26). Bivariate analysis showed that in female HIV/AIDS patients with clinical stadium 1 and 2, CD4+ T cell ≥ 200 cells/μL, had lower risk to be infected by intestinal protozoa (RR = 0.600, 0.065, and 0.026, respectively). Intestinal protozoa were easily found in feces of HIV/AIDS patients with diarrheal symptom. In multivariate analysis, clinical stadium was the most signifi cant factor (Exp(β) = 18.85).Conclusion: Prevalence of intestinal protozoan infection in HIV/AIDS patients in RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta in December 2009-March 2010 was 81.2%. Clinical stadium with moderate and severe symptoms was the most dominant risk factor for intestinal protozoan infection in HIV/AIDS patients.Keywords: risk factor, intestinal protozoa, CD4+ T cell - HIV/AIDS patient

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of malaria in Lampung Province was increased in the last few years. One of the factors contributes to the increased rate is the widespread of the Plasmodium falciparum resistance to antimalarial drugs. Mutation on the gene encoding Pfcrt protein has been reported to be correlated with this resistance.Objectives: To fi nd out the frequency and distribution of the pfcrt gene polymorphism among Plasmodium falciparum in malaria patients in endemic area at Bandar Lampung and Lampung Selatan, LampungProvince.Methods: Blood samples were collected from malaria falciparum patients in Bandar Lampung and Lampung Selatan by active and passive case detections. Two to three mL of venous blood were collected in tubes with EDTA, and kept in the temperature of -200C before DNA extraction. DNA from each sample was extracted using Guanidine isothiocyanate and Chelex 100 methods. Genes encoding Pfcrt protein were amplifi ed by Nested PCR using TCRP and TCRD primers. The polymorphism of the pfcrt gene was identified by cutting the PCR product using Apo1 restriction enzymes to produce 100bp and 34bp fragments.Results: Forty six samples from P. falciparum-infected patients were collected from the two areas. The genes encoding the Pfcrt protein were succesfully amplifi ed, all 46 PCR products showed 100bp and 34bpfragments after incubation with Apo1 restriction enzyme. It indicated that pfcrt polymorphism was 100%.Conclusion: The frequency of pfcrt gene polymorphisms in patients with malaria falciparum in Bandar Lampung and Lampung Selatan was 100%.Keywords: malaria falciparum, pfcrt, chloroquine, polymorphism

Abstract

Introduction: Recent studies have indicated that Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination may have benefi cial eff ect on the survival of infant living in malaria endemic area as well as of malaria-infected mice model. However, the impact of injection of BCG vaccine on the changes in number and functional activities of Mononuclear Phagocytes during malaria-infection in animal model is still poorly understood.Objectives: To evaluate the eff ect of BCG on the changes in number and functional activities of Mononuclear Phagocytes (MPs) during Plasmodium berghei infection.Methods: Two groups of 18 Swiss mice were used. The fi rst group was given 0.1 ml of BCG injection subcutaneously and the second was the control non-BCG group. One week after BCG injection, all mice in both groups were inoculated with 107 Plasmodium berghei infected erythrocytes. The parasitaemia were monitored daily and the number and functional activity of splenic and peritoneal macrophages were tested.Results: The parasites were detected in the blood of both groups on the fi rst day after infection. The parasitaemia in the control group grew slowly until day 3, followed by rapid increased up to 38.96% on day 9. Parasitemia of mouse which still alive on day 12 was 59.6%. The parasitaemia of BCG-injected mice were also increased at lower rate after day 3, and the mice still survive until day 15 after infection. The number of peritoneal macrophages from BCG-injected mice increased to a higher degree compared to the non-BCG injected mice. Moreover, the phagocytic activities of peritoneal macrophages in BCG injected group were increased higher up to twice (200%) of normal levels compared to the non-BCG control group which increase only up to 1,5 times (150%) of the normal levels.Conclusion: The injection of BCG on Plasmodium berghei infected Swiss mice resulted in the extension of survival of the mice until day 15, accompanied by higher increased in number of circulating blood, splenic and peritoneal MPs, and the phagocytic activities of peritoneal MPs up to 137% of the increased in non-BCG mice.Keywords: BCG vaccine, malaria, Plasmodium berghei, macrophages, phagocytosis.
