Abstract

 Background: The incidence of pneumonia in children under-five in West Java is high. The average length of stay (LOS) often exceeds the standards set by the Indonesia-Disease Related Group (INA-DRG) because of the comorbidities. It can cause financial loss for the hospital. This study was conducted to analyze the impact of comorbidity on LOS.Methods: Data was collected from medical records of 296 hospitalized pneumonia under-five children in the Department of Child Health Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in the period from January–December 2012 that consisted of patient’s identity, LOS, primary diagnosis, and comorbid diagnosis. Data was selected through inclusion and exclusion criteria and statistically analyzed using the chi-square and  Spearman correlation test.Results: Out of 218 subjects, those who had major comorbidities and minor comorbidities was 79 (36.2%) and 39 (17.9%), respectively. The average LOS of those who had major  and minor comorbidities was 8.33±8.252 days and 5.95±3.554 days, respectively. Congenital heart disease had the highest and most significant Risk Ratio (RR) with average LOS was 8.00±4.889 days with RR: 1.895 (95% CI:1.339–2.682, p=0.001).Conclusions: Subjects have higher average LOS than the LOS set by the INA-DRG. Congenital heart disease is the most common comorbidity and has the highest and the most significant risk ratio. [AMJ.2017;4(1):42–6]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n1.1019

HIV infection causes immune system dysfunction, which is manifested by decreased cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cell counts. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between CD4 cell counts and the type of bacteria that caused lung infection from cultured washing of bronchoalveolar lavage in HIV patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. This was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. Subjects were collected from November 2011 to October 2013 in Internal Departement Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. There were 39 subjects enrolled with the average age of patients was 32 years. The median CD4 cell counts was 18 (range, 0?190) cell/mm3. The type of gram-negative rods bacteria was 29/39 samples and gram-positive cocci was 10/39 samples. Most species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa 11/39 samples, Klebsiella pneumoniae 11/39 samples and Streptococcus viridans 10/39 samples. Statistical analysis based on a point biserial correlation showed weak (r=0.232) and no significant correlation between CD4 cell counts and the type of bacteria (p>0.05). The weak correlation was the smaller the number of CD4 cell counts, the greater possibility of the gram-negative rod bacteria being the cause of the infection. This study concluded that there is only a weak and no correlation between the number of CD4 cell counts and the type of bacteria causing the lung infection obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with HIV in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung.

Abstract

Tuberkulosis (TB) merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di berbagai negara di dunia. Diagnosis pasti TB ditegakkan berdasarkan penemuan kuman M. tuberculosis pada pemeriksaan mikroskopik atau biakan sputum. Biakan merupakan baku emas, namun metode yang digunakan saat ini membutuhkan waktu minimal 8 minggu. Microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS) merupakan metode biakan untuk M. tuberculosis menggunakan media cair yang dapat sekaligus menguji kepekaan obat TB secara mikroskopik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kesesuaian metode MODS dengan metode Ogawa (media padat) untuk biakan M. tuberculosis pada penderita TB paru. Penelitian cross sectional telah dilakukan di Departemen Patologi Klinik RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung dan pemeriksaan spesimen dilakukan di Balai Pengembangan Laboratorium Kesehatan (BPLK) Provinsi Jawa Barat periode April–Agustus 2010. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 133 penderita yang didiagnosis tersangka TB paru. Setiap spesimen ditanam pada dua media, media cair MODS dan media padat Ogawa. Analisis statistik kesesuaian metode MODS dengan Ogawa menggunakan uji koefisien Kappa. Terdapat 172 spesimen dari 133 subjek. Kesesuaian antara hasil biakan M. tuberculosis metode MODS dan Ogawa didapatkan nilai Kappa 0,91 yang berarti terdapat kesesuaian yang tinggi antara metode MODS dan Ogawa. Perbandingan waktu pertumbuhan M. tuberculosis secara bermakna lebih cepat (p = 0,000) pada metode MODS, yaitu 10,1 hari (rentang 4–21 hari), dibandingkan dengan metode Ogawa, yaitu 24,8 hari (rentang 14–35 hari). Simpulan, metode MODS dan Ogawa mempunyai angka keberhasilan diagnostik yang relatif sama, keunggulan metode MODS adalah pertumbuhan M. tuberculosis lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan metode Ogawa. [MKB. 2011;43(2):83–8].Kata kunci: Microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS), M. tuberculosis, Ogawa, sputumConformity Method Between Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay and Ogawa Mycobacterium CultureTuberculosis (TB) is a problem of public health that causing high morbidity and mortality rates in various countries in the world. The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in adults can be established based on the discovery of M. tuberculosis on smear or culture of sputum. Culture is the gold standard but the availlable method is time consuming, it is need minimal eight weeks. Microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS) is one of methods for M. tuberculosis culture using liquid medium that can be a simultaneously test for M. tuberculosis drug sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the conformity of the MODS method compared with Ogawa method for cultivation of M. tuberculosis in pulmonary TB patients. The cross sectional research has been conducted at Clinical Pathology Department of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung and examination of the specimen done at Health Laboratory Development Unit (BPLK), West Java Province between April to August 2010. The subjects were patients who diagnosed as pulmonary TB suspect. Each collected specimen was cultured in liquid media MODS and solid media Ogawa. To analyze the conformity of MODS and Ogawa method, Kappa coefficient of agreement was used. There were 172 specimens collected from 133 subjects. The conformity between culture results of M. tuberculosis in MODS method and in Ogawa’s method using Kappa coefficient, was high (Kappa index 0.91). The difference of growth time of M. tuberculosis significant (p=0.000), in MODS was 10.1 days (range 4–21 days) and in Ogawa method was 24.8 days (range 14–35 days). Conclusion, MODS and Ogawa’s method have the relatively similar diagnostic success rate, the advantage of MODS method is, the growth of M. tuberculosis is faster than in Ogawa method.

Abstract

Background: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) often experience hypokalemia which increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. The HEART Score can identify the prognosis of ACS. This study aimed to examine the correlation between serum potassium and HEART Score on ACS.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational, correlative analytic study. The data were taken retrospectively using secondary data. Inclusion criteria were all ACS patients who had been examined for serum potassium parameters at the Emergency Room of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2019. The HEART Score was calculated based on history (H), electrocardiogram (E), Age (A), risk factors (R), and troponin (T). Subjects were divided into low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk groups based on the HEART Score value.Results: Fifty-two ACS subjects were mostly male with a mean±SD age of 59±9 years. All subjects had moderate and high HEART scores, with 79% subjects having normokalemia. There was no correlation between HEART Score and serum potassium levels (r = -0.083, p=0.279).Conclusion: There is no relationship between serum potassium and the HEART Score that may need to determine the prognosis in ACS patients. Further study is imperative to explore serum potassium levels which might begin to decline 24 hours after the acute attack.

Abstract

Objective: Rapid and accurate TB diagnostics play an important role in detecting the disease. Currently, antigens secreted (ESAT-6, CFP-10 and MPT64) by M. tuberculosis and encoded by genes “Region of Difference” (RD)1, RD2 and RD3 give an opportunity for rapid TB diagnosis. Genomic region RD1-RD3 was deleted in M. bovis BCG strains and absent in mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis. This property is advantageous because it enable to create a specific diagnostic tools for M. tuberculosis infection. The aim of this study is to determine the validity of TB antigens cocktail (ESAT-6, CFP-10 and MPT64) for pulmonary tuberculosis and TB meningitis diagnosis. Methods: This is a descriptive observational study design. The study was conducted at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during September 2012 until March 2013 for the pulmonary tuberculosis study and from January 2014 to May 2014 for the TB meningitis study. The TB antigen cocktail rapid immunochromatography (ICT) test was done on all of the samples. The sputum and CSF were cultured as gold standards. Results: There were 149 pulmonary and 41 TB meningitis subjects. The sensitivity of TB antigens cocktail rapid ICT for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis was 95.7% with a specificity of 87.2%. Of 41 TB meningitis subjects, based on Marais criteria, there were 6 (16%) subjects with a definite TB meningitis, 26 (63%) subjects with probable TB meningitis and 9 (21%) subjects with possible TB meningitis. The sensitivity and specificity of TB antigens cocktail rapid ICT for TB meningitis diagnosis were 83.3% and 68.5% respectively. Conclusions: In this study, rapid ICT TB antigens cocktail (ESAT-6, CFP-10 and MPT64) from sputum sample has good validity for diagnosing a pulmonary tuberculosis, and from CSF sample has moderate validity to diagnose TB meningitis.

Abstract

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the hospital is found mainly in surgical patients, which increases morbidity and mortality. Currently, vancomycin is the drug of choice for the treatment of MRSA infections. The increasing use of vancomycin and its inappropriate administration may increase the resistance of S. aureus to vancomycin. This study aimed to describe the distribution of MRSA and types of antibiotics that are still sensitive to MRSA in surgical and non-surgical patients. This cross-sectional, observational, retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the Microbiology Laboratory, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, in 2019 using secondary data on the results of culture examination and antibiotic susceptibility of positive S. aureus culture isolates from all types of isolates from surgical and non-surgical patients. All specimens were cultured in appropriate media. Identification of S. aureus was performed by Gram staining to identify bacterial morphology, and automatic tools. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using an automatic machine. Seventy-five isolates (17%) were identified to be MRSA with 46 (53%) of them retrieved from surgical patients. Most of the MRSA isolates came from pus and were mostly due to skin infections. Antibiotic susceptibility results showed two Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) isolates from surgical patients. The positive culture of the MRSA and VRSA was dominated by surgical patients with pus coming from surgical wound infection, burn, and other skin infection as the most common sources. Thus, the proportion of MRSA isolates in the hospital in 2019 is 17% and two VRSA isolates are identified in the same year. The surgical ward was the primary origin of most MRSA isolates. Further studies are necessary to identify the MRSA incidence rate, evaluation and periodic monitoring of antibiotic use, and active surveillance in the surgical patient rooms.
