To assess the difference of Mantoux test result of under-five children who bad had BCG vaccination and those who bad not, a cross sectional study was conducted in the out patient child clinic of Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan. This study was conducted from February 6, 1990 until March 3, 1990 comprising 328 under-five children (164 who bad received BCG vaccination and 164 who bad not).

Tbe diameter of induration of Mantoux tests in the under-five children who bad received BCG at the age of 1 year or less was significantly different from those who bad received it at the age of older than 1 year (P<0.001). Positive Mantoux test with a diameter of ≥ 5 mm, done after 1 year or more was found in 21. 7% of children who bad BCG vaccination in the neonatal period.

Out of the 14.082 patients admitted, 1310 children suffered from bronchopneumonia (10.7%). Ninety nine of them were also with measles (7.6%). Most of the patients with bronchopneumonia without measles were in the age group 0-1 year (58.7%). The mortality waas 24.8% and the highest mortality rate was in the age group of 4-5 years (34.6%). Most of the patients with bronchopneumonia and measles were in the age group of 1-2 years (30.3%). The mortality rate of bronchopneumonia with measles was 22.2% and the highest mortality rate was in the age group of 3-4 years (35. 7%). Bronchopneumonia with or without measles occurred more in malnourished patients rather than in well-nourished cases.

Abstract

Two surveys were conducted on children attending the Child Outpatient Department in the Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital Medan, to know about the spectrum and prevalence of the diseases of the teeth, and also the comparison of carious teeth formation between breastfed with bottlefed infant and children. The first survey was done in 1971 - 1973 on 18720 children, where 3000 (1 6.03%) of them had various dental diseases and abnormalities. We found that dental decay is prevailing at the age group of 3-8 years. The second survey was done in December 1977 on 100 children under five year of age, of whom 54 had caries while 46 of them had caries resembling bottlefeeding caries. No dental caries were found on children who got breastfeeding until the age of 41 months; bottlefeeding in infancy influences carious teeth formation.
