Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that persists as a health problem worldwide. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as an etiological agent, is transmitted from infected to uninfected individuals via airborne droplet nuclei. Oral health care workers or dental practitioners may be at high risk of TB infection because of their close proximity to infected individuals during treatment procedures. Simple and rapid screening of mycobacterium tuberculosis in the oral cavity is necessary in order to prevent transmission of infection. Purpose: To investigate the presence of acid-fast bacilli in the buccal mucosa of pulmonary TB patients. Methods: Nineteen pulmonary TB patients of both sexes, ranging in age from 19 to 74 years old participated in this study. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was performed by clinical symptom assessment and supporting examination, including acid-fast bacilli on sputum examination. Two buccal mucosa swabs taken from pulmonary TB patients were collected for acid fast bacilli direct smear by Ziehl Neelsen staining. Results: With regard to mycobacterium tuberculosis, acid-fast bacilli presented in 10.5% of the oral buccal mucosa swabs of subjects, whereas in the sputum specimens, bacilli were found in 52.6% of subjects. Conclusion: Acid-fast bacilli can be found in the buccal epithelial mucosa of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, although its presence was very limited.

ABSTRACTStrategy DOTS is the tuberculosis control programs. The program has implemented in Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center and has expected to reach CDR ≥ 70% and SR ≥ 85%, which closely related to the management of health centers. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the DOTS program in health center whose the results associated with indicators of tuberculosis. This was a descriptive design study with the population was all pulmonary specialist, tuberculosis officers and laboratory personnel and pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The number of Tuberculosis patient respondents was 32 respondents. Samples were chosen using purposive sampling. Data collected by interview questionnaire and checklist. The variables were the finding case, the TB treatment, the enabling factor and inhibiting factor, recording and reporting, and result of tuberculosis indicators. This study resulted that CDR in 2013 was 112% already reached the national target ≥ 70%. This success related to the finding case almost all patients > 2 weeks of cought and all (100%) patients were examinated sputum and diagnosed according to the steps of tuberculosis diagnosis in Indonesia Department of Health guidelines. While SR in 2013 was 65.5% did not reach the target ≥ 85%. It was caused of there are patients who did not have a taking drug observer (PMO). All (100%) patients ever forgot taking anti tuberculosis drugs. Change in schedule of visit to the continuation phase be 2×/month caused patients to forget taking anti tuberculosis drugs. The enabling factor was counseling routinely by health care workers in health center. Inhibiting factor was distance to health center by majority (65,5%) patients were > 1 km. So they needed vehicle to go to the health center. Recording and reporting using electronic systems and being reported by online. So it is expected all TB patients were expected have a taking drug observer and optimizing the role of the a taking drug observer to increase success rate.Keywords: DOTS strategy, Case Detection Rate, Success Rate, evaluation,                     Tuberculosis

The genus Acinetobacter comprises a heterogenous group of bacterias that are mostly pandrug resistant and implicated in variety of nosocomial infections. Acinetobacter junii is a rare human pathogen and is mainly associated with blood stream infections in paediatric oncology patients. We report a rare case of pleural effusion caused by A. junii in a known pulmonary tuberculosis patient who was on cat-1 antitubercular treatment.

During the third year of MBBS program, we had a course of family health exercise in community medicine. This course was designed to produce competent family physicians; to enable us to understand the social, cultural, psychological, gender and economical aspects of illness, the interactions of ill persons with different members of the family and community health service, role of family members and family environment in patient care. It helped us to understand the natural history of the disease and importance of patient follow up. We were able to differentiate the nature of the problems while seeing the patients in the family from the nature of the same problems when the patient is seen in clinic or hospital. Here we present a follow-up of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis patient in our family health exercise during third year MBBS program.Journal of Gandaki Medical CollegeVolume, 09, Number 2, July December  2016, Page: 70-75

Attitudes And Practices

Patient compliance refers to the suitability of behavior against treatment recommendations include timing, dose and frequency of treatment. Compliance to tuberculosis treatment was actually very complex and dynamic with various factors that interacted each other, and therefore it will influence on patient’s behavior decision. Patient who has a good compliance will increase success to his recovery. This study was carried out to determine the correlation between tuberculosis patient behavior which consists of the domain of knowledge, attitudes and practices with compliance to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs at the Puskesmas Cakranegara commencing on July to November 2020. This research was an observational analytic study using a cross sectional method. Population sample was patients who diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis which undergoing category 1 treatment at Puskesmas Cakranegara. The data used in the study was primary data established from interviewing patients using a questionnaire on selected Pulmonary TB patients including respondents who eligible as the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of samples in this study were 30 infected-people. The data obtained were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test.  The correlation test of the study showed that there was no significant correlation between variable of knowledge and medication compliance (p = 0.079, r = 0.325).  However, the attitude variables had a significant correlation with medication compliance (p = 0.000, r = 0.715).  Similarly, the practices variable has a significant correlation to the medication compliance (p = 0.000, r = 0.656). This study found that there was no significant correlation between knowledge and compliance taking anti-tuberculosis drugs. However, it was found that there was a significant correlation between attitudes and practices with compliance to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Laryngeal Tuberculosis

Nowadays, tuberculosis (TB) infection shows re-emergence again in many other part of the world due to HIV/AIDS- related disease, low socioeconomic as well as insurgence of multidrug resistance tuberculosis. TB is a disease which is primarily affects a lung. However it also can affect other organs as a secondary disease in a body via hematogenous or lymphatic spread. As in ENT field, TB also can manifest as a solely ear, nose or throat (ENT) diseasea such as in primary laryngeal tuberculosis (TB). In the past, laryngeal TB typically presented as a secondary disease with ulcerated laryngeal lesions in advanced pulmonary tuberculosis patient. In our case, we report a case of primary laryngeal tuberculosis masquerading as laryngeal malignancy in adult patient without pulmonary tuberculosis. In conclusion, in a patient who presented with various laryngeal symptoms, physician should be aware of the reemergence of laryngeal tuberculosis and the various manisfestation of the disease.
