Abstract

The drug resistant problem of Mycobacterium leprae has been developing since the last decade and this has become a leprosy elimination problem in several countries, including Indonesia. Using biological on molecular methods, it is now possible to test for drug resistant cases in relatively simple and less time consuming ways. The purpose of the study is to analyze theprevalence of drug resistance M. leprae to dapsone and rifampicin in East Java based on the etection of mutations in the folP and rpoB genes. All samples were obtained from multibacillary leprosy patients in East Java, who have admitted to the Dr Sutomo Hospital Surabaya in 2003-2005. Isolates were analyzed by PCR, and the presence of nucleotide sequence of the folP and rpoB genes from M. leprae were confirmed by direct sequencing. Of 94 specimens which were collected, all were analyzed for their folP and rpoB genome. From 94 isolates, 70 showed a positive result by the folP1-folPR test and 77 out of 94 isolates showed positive by the rpoBF-rpoBR test. From 70 isolates for folP gene examination, there were 3 isolates which had mutation in the amino acid at codon 53; 2 cases Threonin (ACC) became Alanin (GCC) and 1 case Threonin (ACC) became Arginin (AGA). These mutations are responsible to dapsone resistance. For the rpoB gene, no mutation was found. The result suggested that 3 isolates (4.3%), 1 from a new case and 2 from relapse cases in this experiment, were resistant to dapsone and all isolates (100%) were susceptible to rifampicin.

Abstract

Scabies is a skin infection caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. This disease may present severe clinical manifestations in immune-compromised patient, well-known as Norwegian scabies or crusted scabies.A 36-year old man with AIDS had chief complaint thick crust almost all over his body in this case. History of household member infected by scabies before was present. Clinical findings show hyperpigmented macules unsharply marginated, covered with thick scales and accompanied by papules, fissures, and erotion. T cell CD4 level was 12 cell/μL. Scraping examination showed scabies infection and so did the histopathology examination. This patient was treated by topical Permethrin 5% combined with 2-4 ointment application in between permethrin usage. Before topical scabicide was given, thick crust was previously treated by topical urea 10% and wet dressing by normal saline. On day 14 after the patient first came there was lesion improvement.

Abstract

Histoid Leprosy is a variant of lepromatous leprosy with characteristic clinical and histopathological features. Usually it is occured in lepromatous patients who relaps after dapsone monotherapy, in those with dapsone resistance , sometimes even after multidrug treatment, or at times, de novo with characteristic clinical and histopathological features. A 36 years old male, originated from Papua, visited to the skin outpatient clinic with translucent shiny nodules on the left elbow and thumb for the last 18 months. The nodules were multiple, painless and firm. There were nasal congestion, tickening of ear lobes and loss of eye brows. Patient did not have any history of previous antileprotic treatment. Routine blood examination was normal. Bacteriological examination of slit skin smear revealed acid-fast bacilli of Bacterial Index 4+ and Morfologic Index 10%. Histopathology of skin suggested lepromatous leprosy of histoid type with characteristic interlacing bundles of spindle shaped cells. Anti-PGL1 antibody (ELISA) revealed high titer of IgM (>5.300 u/ml) and also IgG anti PGL-1 (>5.300 u/ml). Polymerase chain reaction examination test to detect M.leprae was positive and direct sequencing of M.leprae isolate shows no mutation, which means no resistancy to MDT treatment. Treatment with MDTWHO regiment give clinical improvements and the histoid lesions disappered after 3 months treatment.The histoid form of leprosy in this case developed without any prior treatment of anti leprotic drugs ( de novo ). Some theoretical aspects of the patho-mechanism of histoid leprosy are discussed.

Abstract

East Java province still has some pocket of leprosy endemic areas. In order to solve the problem, molecular typing will make it feasible to study the transmission pattern of Mycobacterium leprae in leprosy endemic area. The present study is to analyze the presence of M.leprae DNA in the environment and to study variation number of TTC repeats and their distribution. Poteran Island is located in Madura, East Java and was chosen because this island has a high prevalence of leprosy and remains stable for the last five years. All samples were analyzed by PCR and the numbers of TTC repeats were confirmed by direct sequencing. Of all collected samples, 26.4% isolates of water resources (24); 61.9% nasal swabs (26); and 35.3% skin tissues (24) are positives. No statistically difference in the pattern distribution of TTC repeats between skin tissues of patients and nasal swab of households contact (p=0.594); also distribution of TTC repeats between skin tissues of leprosy patients and those of water resources (p=0.441); and distribution of TTC repeats between nasal swab of households contact with water resources (p=0.906). It means that the transmission of M.leprae in leprosy endemic area has closely related in 3 aspects: agent, host & environment.

Abstract

Penderita kusta tahun 2015 di Kota Surabaya tertinggi pertama adalah Kecamatan Kenjeran, disusul Kecamatan Semampir, dan Kecamatan Tandes. Ada beberapa faktor risiko yang memengaruhi kejadian kusta, salah satunya adalah tingkat ekonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat penghasilan dengan kejadian kusta. Jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan penelitian case control matching untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat penghasilan dengan kejadian penyakit kusta MB pada warga yang tinggal di wilayah Kecamatan Kenjeran, Semampir dan Tandes. Penelitian ini dilakukan antara bulan Januari-April 2017. Jumlah responden kasus sebanyak 28 orang dan kontrol sebanyak 28 orang, Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara dan penelusuran rekam medis. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan menggunakan SPSS 16. Hasilnya didapatkan P value 0.003 < 0.05 menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan antara tingkat penghasilan dengan kejadian kusta dengan nilai OR 5.200 (1.427-18.948). Simpulan : Terdapat hubungan antara tingkat penghasilan dengan kejadian kusta di Kecamatan Kenjeran, Tandes dan Semampir. Responden yang memiliki tingkat penghasilan rendah berisiko 5.2 kali terkena kusta dibandingkan responden berpenghasilan tinggi.
