Abstract

To examine the prevalence of jaundice in neonates and its association with breast-feeding, we studied 100healthy breast-fed baby boys during the first 3 - 5 days after birth, delivered in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. This wasan analytical, cross-sectional study performed prospectively. The study was conducted from April, 1, 1999 to October 15,1999. Jaundice was detected in 94 out of 100 infants (94%). Breast-feeding jaundice was encountered in 26 infants (28%)namely infants whose bilirubin levels was >12 mg/dL by day 3 (CI 95% : 19;37%). Most infants showed bilirubin levels on daytwo, three and five of 6 – 10 mg/dL (62%), 6 – 10 mg/dL (35%) and 12 – 15 mg/dL (34%), respectively. Several factors foundto be contributing to the occurrence of breast-feeding jaundice included : a. breast-feeding frequency (r :- 0.83, p < 0.01), b.mean breast-feeding duration : infants breast-fed for more than 30 minutes have consequences its breast-feeding frequencywas less in compared with those breast-fed in less than 30 minutes. c. time of meconium passage (p< 0.05), meconiumpassage in the first hours after birth played an important part in reducing enterohepatic circulation, d. fecal weight (r =-0.87,p < 0.01), feces retained in the intestine its bilirubin would be deconjugated and reabsorbed subsequently . e. weight loss (p< 0.05). In 11 infants who received blue light therapy there were no abnormalities both in physical and laboratory examinations.

Abstract

Childhood tuberculosis persists as an important global health problem. Tuberculosis is one of the commonestimportant complications in children with nephrotic syndrome. Tuberculosis may interfere with the response to steroid therapyand is still being the commonest morbidity cause in children with nephrotic syndrome. To find out the prevalence, clinicalfeatures, and the impact of tuberculosis in children with nephrotic syndrome, a cross sectional study was conducted on 100nephrotic children consisted of 63 males and 37 females at the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from April 1st to October 30th,1999. Pulmonary tuberculosis was detected on 15 cases ( 95% CI : 8% - 22% ) , consisted of 8 boys and 7 girls. Most of themaged 10 – 16 years old (66,6%) and 86,7% were undernourished. The combination of clinical judgement, chest X-ray andMantoux test were helpful in establishing the diagnosis. The majority of tuberculosis cases (80%) were detected on frequentrelapsers and steroid dependent groups of the nephrotic syndrome. A significant correlation were noted in tuberculosis withundernutrition and unfavorable response to steroid (frequent relapser and steroid dependent cases).
