Abstract

Dengue Virus infection is always found in some part of the world especially South East Asia including Indonesia. The pathogenesis of Dengue Virus infection is still controversial. The aim of this study is to analyze the role complement activity, TNFα & IL12 in Dengue Virus infection especially in pathogenesis of Dengue Virus infection. Cross sectional study had been done since February 2009 in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Blood Sera of Dengue Virus infection were collected from Dengue Fever, and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever patient who had been care in Paediatric. Dengue patients and time schedule for taking blood sample for examination CH50, TNFα & IL12 as follow: on the first day on admission, the second day, the third day. Study groups of patients as follow: Dengue Fever, 36; Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever grade I, 37; Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever grade II, 10; Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever grade III, 18; Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever grade IV, 6. In this study found that the higher activity complement which lower level CH50 was more identified on Dengue Shock Syndrome and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever grade III than Dengue Fever cases. A concept of our study was focusing on manifestation of vascular leakage, measurement of complement activity CH50, TNFα & IL12 and clinical manifestation Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The examination of TNFα & IL12 in our study supported the role the activity complement. The conclusion are measurement CH50, TNFα & IL12 can be used as a predictive factor of the degree of Dengue Virus infection

Abstract

A surveillance of new pathogenic variants of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains was initiated to identify the emerge and spread throughout Surabaya. Findings from seven years (1994–2000) and from years 2008 until now by using a two-fold surveillance strategy was pursued involving 1) hospital-based case recognition, and 2) environment samples. Rectal swabs and environment samples were transported to ITD-UNAIR, Surabaya for culture and isolates were characterized by serotypic identification and arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprints revealed a group of strains with similar fingerprint patterns that are distinct from those of the current El Tor epidemic strain. These strains have been analyzed by in vitro technique and the group has been denominated the Surabaya-Indonesian variant of V. cholerae O1.

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

The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor play a key role in pericellular proteolysis, cell migration and signal transduction. Previous study showed that suPAR could be used as an independent prognostic marker of disease progression in HIV-1 patients.1,17 Immune status of HIV patient and progressivity of disease are important parameters used as clinical concideration before initiating anti retroviral treatment and for monitoring treatment effectivity. Recently immune status of HIV patients is determined by CD4 T lymphocyte counting which represents the remaining healthy lymphocyte T expressing CD4 that very expensive and need special laboratory equipment. Destruction and shedding of T lymphocyte, macrophage and natural killer cell will deliver soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, a surface protein which is expressed by those cells and can be measured by ELISA8,9,11. This study objective is to determine correlation between suPAR plasma concentration and CD4 T lymphocyte and WHO clinical stagging of HIV infection. Study subjects. Fifty four naieve HIV-1-infected patients (32 males, and 22 females) are participant in a cross sectional study enrolled on 22 November 2007 until 31 july 2008 at the department of infectious disease Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang, Indonesia. Blood sampling. Two blood samples were drawn before treatment, CD4 counts were measured with an Epics XL-MCL Coulter flowcytometer. EDTA plasma for suPAR measurement was stored at -80°C. Data are presented as mean±standart deviation. P<0.05 is considered significant. Statistical calculations were done using SSPS 15. Patients (n = 54) enrolled and clustered according to WHO clinical stage ( I - IV) at inclusion. All HIV-infected patients had measurable levels of plasma suPAR with a median value of 8,9 ng/mL(range 1,65-29,7 ng/mL). Pearson correlation demonstrated a weak but significant negative between suPAR and CD4 T lymphocyte count (p=-0.634, p<.0005). suPAR level positively correlated with the WHO-defined clinical stages (P< .0005, spearman correlation test, r=0,87). There were significant difference between each stage i.e I(1,6± o,61ng/mL), II(3.04±1.03 ng/mL), III (10.53±7.1ng/mL) and IV (20.42±10.81ng/mL) (P< .0005, Spearman test). In addition pearson correlation demonstrated a weak but significant negative correlation between suPAR and CD4 count (p=-0.66; P<.0005). There were negative significant correlatio between CD4 count and suPAR level, suggested that suPAR could provide as a complementary biological marker for HIV-1 although it can not replace the CD4 count. SuPAR plasma concentration and clinical stage give significantly correlation with WHO clinical staging of HIV infection.

Abstract

In March 2005, there was outbreak of Polio-1 and expanded throughout Java and Sumatera island. Oral monovalent polio vaccinetype 1 (mOPV1) had succeeded in evereeming polio outbreak in Indonesia in 2005. This study aimed to compare neutralizing antibodyresponse to type 1 polio virus in healthy infants receiving either mOPV1 or oral trivalent Polio Vaccine (tOPV), given with other basicvaccination (DTP/HB). Randomized controlled singel blind clinical trial on healthy infants range age 42 to 80 days who had receivedfirst oral polio vaccine before 1 month of age. Trial group received mOPV1 and control group tOPV, each had 3 times of vaccination.Blood samples were taken three times (pre vaccination, post second and third vaccination) for measurement of neutralizing antibody topolio virus. Thirty subjects from mOPV1 group and 29 from tOPV group were analyzed. Post second vaccination, mOPV1 group (456)had more increase in geometric mean titer of neutralizing antibody than tOPV group (317) but not significant (p=0.514). Post thirdvaccination the level of neutralizing antibody titer was almost equal in both groups. Proportion of seroconversion to type 1 polio virusin mOPV1 group 53.9%, 57.7% and tOPV group 25.9%, 41.7% (on second and third evaluation respectively), both were statisticallyinsignificant. Antibody response measured by neutralizing antibody titer and proportion of seroconversion on antibody to type 1 poliovirus in healthy infants receiving mOPV1 vaccination was similar to they receiving tOPV.

Abstract

One of the mayor health problems among HIV-infected patients is opportunistic infection due to the defect of immunity. A cross sectional study was showed current the prevalence of intestinal parasites infection in AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea were being treated at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya during the period June 2007 to May 2008. Fecal samples were collected from 122 AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea. Samples were examined for intestinal parasites using modified acid fast stain. Ninety-seven (79.5%) of the 122 were found to have intestinal parasitic infections, Entamoeba histolytica (61.5%; 75/122), Cryptosporidium (52.5%; 64/122), Giardia lamblia (5.73%; 7/122), and Trichuris trichiura (0,82%; 1/122). This study shows that parasitic infections are important clinical complications in AIDS patients in Surabaya Indonesia

Abstract

Overall helminth infection prevalence in Central Java in 2002 was high (20–100%). Unfortunately, the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of children and their parent’s about worm infection were in general very low. Objective of this study was to determine the improvement of parents’ health care behavior on helminth infected children by improving their KAP, in order to decrease re-infection rate of helminth infestation and improving school achievement. Design study is quasi experiment with pre and post test control group design on community participation toward school aged children in Sragen sub-district in Central Java. A sample of one hundred and thirty one of children deriving from a systematic random sampling was used in the study and divided into 66 children for intervention population and 65 children for control population. During the study, the children in selected area were given with 400mg chewable albendazole, and after a month, their stools were examined to find out the negatives. Parent’s participation was needed in improving the KAP on re-infestation that was performed by an intervention using a module. Data were analysed using chi-square test to determine therelationship between variables among groups. Stools were examined for the presence of geohelminth’s egg using Kato-Katz Technique.Three subject matters (Mathematics, Indonesian Language and Natural Science) were obtained by a special tool. Digit Span, Codingand Stroop Test were used to determine the level of cognitive function. Monitoring and the ladder-snake game were use to observe the improvement of the behavior. It revealed that re-infestation of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichhiura and Oxyuris vermicularisoccurs 2 times greater in control group, even there was no significant different. In both groups, there was no hookworm re-infestation.A good knowledge and attitude can be predicted to be a better practice to prevent the re-infestation. Oxyuris vermicularic re-infection could have adverse effect on study Achievement (Mathematics, Indonesian Language and Natural Science) and The Cognitive Function, such as memory, attention, visual-motoric co-ordination. The moshly affected cognitive function was memory-based and specifically represented the components of the working memory. From the monitoring of health care behavior, this study found that the more convinced the mothers in changing their degree of family’s health were, the higher the level of children’s health was.

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.
