Paediatrica Indonesiana Vol 55 No 4 (2015): July 2015
Publisher : Indonesian Pediatric Society

Background The most common nutritional problem affecting the pediatric population in developing countries is protein energy malnutrition (PEM). The nutritional problem may be caused by a variety of factors, most of which are related inadequate food intake and infection. One of the highest causes of morbidity and mortality in endemic areas is malaria. Malaria infection and nutritional status have been suggested to be interrelated.Objective To assess for a relationship between nutritional status and malaria infection in children.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in October and November 2010 in primary school children at Panyabungan City, North Sumatera Province. Peripheral thick and thin blood smear examinations were done to confirm the diagnosis of malaria. Participants were divided in two groups (malaria-infected and uninfected) by consecutive sampling. Nutritional status was determined by body weight and height measurements based on the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) chart. The mild and moderate malnutrition classification was further sub-divided into stunted and wasted, based on the 2007 NCHS/WHO chart. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and malaria infection.Results There were 126 children in each group. Significant differences in mild-moderate malnutrition were found between the malaria-infected and uninfected groups (23.8% vs. 46.8%, respectively; P= 0.011). There were also significant differences between the malaria-infected and uninfected groups with regards to chronic malnutrition type: stunted (20.0% vs. 37.3%, respectively; P=0.042) and stunted-wasted (6.7% vs. 28.8%, respectively; P= 0.008) in both groups of the children with mild-moderate malnutrition.Conclusion There are significantly more children with mild-moderate malnutrition in the uninfected group than in the malaria-infected group, furthermore, of those with mild-moderate malnutrition, there are significantly more stunted and stunted-wasted children who were uninfected than malaria-infected.

Background Iron has been shown to improve growth in childrenwith iron deficiency anemia (IDA), as indicted by increases inheight and weight. Frequently, malnutrition and iron deficiencycoexist.Objective To determine the effect of iron treatment on nutritionalstatus in children with IDA.Methods A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial wasconducted at Bilah Hulu, a subdistrict of Labuhan Batu, NorthSumatera, Indonesia, between November 2006 and February2007. Iron deficiency anemia was diagnosed if there anemiawas present along with MCHC <31%, RDW index >220 andMentzer index> 13. Elementary school children (8-12 years old)with IDA were randomly assigned to either receive a daily therapyof 6 mg iron/kg/day or a placebo for three months. Nutritionalstatus was evaluated by anthropometric assessment before andafter intervention.Results From 300 subjects recruited, there were 111 (3 7 .2%)with iron deficiency anemia; 108 of them completed the therapy.After intervention, the iron and placebo groups had differentmean hemoglobin concentrations (P <0.05), but there was nosignificant difference in mean weight and height gain betweenthe two groups.Conclusion A significant increase in hemoglobin concentrationwas seen when iron was given, but did not affect weight and height increase in the subjects.

Objective To examine hemolysis in falciparum and vivax malarialpatients based on serum bilirubin examination.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted on childrenyounger than 15 years of age who visited public health center inthe district of Mandailing Natal with complaints of fever, shivering,pale, jaundice, diarrhea, or headache between April 9 th and April19 th 2001. Variables recorded were age, gender, body weight, bodyheight, symptoms and signs, anti malarial drugs, and laboratorytest results. Thin and thick blood smears were done as diagnostictools of malaria. Thin blood smear was also performed to deter-mine the level of malaria parasites in blood (parasitemia) and toexamine the morphology of red blood cells. Hemolysis was deter-mined by bilirubin examination.Results In P. falciparum malaria, there was a moderate correlation(r=0.68, p<0.0001) between parasitemia and indirect bilirubin con-centration. While in P. vivax malaria, there was only a weak corre-lation (r=0.46, p=0.007) between parasitemia and indirect bilirubinconcentration. It was also found that in falciparum malaria, para-sitemia, total and indirect bilirubin concentrations were significantlyhigher than that in vivax malaria, with p values of 0.009, 0.015 and0.003, respectively.Conclusion Hemolysis in falciparum malaria is more severe thanthat in P. vivax malaria, with marked elevation of indirect bilirubin.The elevation of serum bilirubin correlated with parasitemia

The effect of vitamin A supplementation on morbidity due to Plasmodium falciparum Adillida Adillida; Yoyoh Yusroh; Munar Lubis; Bidasari Lubis; Tiangsa Sembiring; Syahril Pasaribu

Objective To investigate the effect of vitamin A supplementationon malaria morbidity.Methods The study was a randomized double-blind placebo-con-trolled trial, conducted in Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal, NorthSumatera from April 2001 to April 2002. Children aged 6-60 monthssuffering from falciparum malaria were randomly assigned to highdose vitamin A or placebo every 4 months for a year. All childrenwere treated in accordance with health center policy. Malaria mor-bidity was assessed from health center visit due to fever, diarrhea,cough, or abdominal pain. Parents gave reports if their child re-ceived malaria treatment from other health centers.Results The number of febrile episodes (probable malaria illness)was lower in the treatment group than that of control, but not sig-nificant. The parasitemia was not different between both groups.There was a significant difference in spleen enlargement betweenthe treatment group and control (p=0.04). There was no differencein health center visit between the two groups.Conclusion The findings suggest that vitamin A supplementationhas only effect on spleen enlargement in malaria.

Essential fatty acids play an important role in brain development and visual acuity. Essential fatty acids are needed for optimal health, but human can not synthesize and must be obtained from food. There are two types of essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6. The balance between these essential fatty acids is very important. Deficiency of these essential fatty acids in the critical period may affect the development of children in the future. Several studies have proven the importance of essential fatty acids in the period of brain development and visual acuity in childrenKeywords: essential fatty acids; brain development; visual acuity
