Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a public health problem worldwide. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis germ and is one of the 10 leading causes of death worldwide. The methods section should be able to explain the research methods used, including how the procedures were carried out. Tools, materials, media or research instruments must be well described. There is no gold standard for ILTB diagnosis. Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and Immunoglobulin Release Assay (IGRA) are the WHO recommended ILTB tests. The purpose of TPT is to prevent the occurrence of TB disease so as to reduce the burden of TB. One of the efforts in preventing tuberculosis disease in children is the Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine. BCG vaccine is very effective in preventing tuberculosis in children, where children who do not get BCG vaccine have a 6.87 times higher risk of developing tuberculosis compared to children who get BCG vaccine. The effectiveness of the BCG vaccine in preventing tuberculosis is 85%.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection most often caused by viruses or bacteria. It can cause mild to life-threatening illness in people of all ages, but it is the single largest cause of infectious death in children worldwide (1). Pneumonia killed more than 808,000 children under 5 years of age in 2017, accounting for 15% of all deaths of children under 5 years. (1). It is known that the results of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013 also showed a high prevalence of pneumonia in toddlers, namely 4.5 per 100 toddlers. This means, 4.5 out of 100 toddlers suffer from pneumonia (2). The lungs are made up of tiny sacs called alveoli, which fill with air when a healthy person breathes. When a person has pneumonia, the alveoli fill with pus and fluid, which makes breathing painful and limits oxygen intake. This infection is generally spread by direct contact with an infected person (1)
