Background Tuberculosis (TB) infection is highly prevalent in Indonesia. The source of transmission of TB to a child is usually via an adult with sputum smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis. The Mantoux test is a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis infection. The BCG vaccine has been used for the prevention of TB, but its efficacy is still debated. Objective To assess for an association between Mantoux test results and BCG vaccination in children who had contact with adult pulmonary tuberculosis and to assess for differences in Mantoux test induration with regards to nutritional status, age, type of TB contact, and time duration since BCG vaccination in BCG-vaccinated and BCG-unvaccinated children. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in FebruaryMarch 2011 on infants and children (aged 3 months to five years), who had household contact with adult pulmonary TB. We performed tuberculin (Mantoux) skin tests to detect TB infection in the children. Subjects were consisted of two groups: BCG-vaccinated and BCG-unvaccinated. Results Subjects were 100 children (50 BCG-vaccinated and 50 BCG-unvaccinated subjects). Positive Mantoux test results were observed in 9 vaccinated subjects and 33 unvaccinated subjects. The mean diameters of induration in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were 7.6 mm and 9.6 mm, respectively (95%CI of difference -4.25 to 0.20; P=0.074). In children who had household contact with sputum smear-positive adult pulmonary TB, BCG vaccination was a protective factor against TB infection, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.113 (95%CI 0.045 to 0.286; P=0.0001). There were no significant differences in Mantoux test induration associated with nutritional status, age, type of TB contact, and duration since BCG vaccination, between the two groups. Conclusion BCG vaccination has a protective effect on TBexposed children, based on Mantoux test results. However, there are no differences in Mantoux test induration associated with nutritional status, age, type of TB contact, or duration since BCG vaccination, between the BCG-vaccinated and BCGunvaccinated groups.

Very little studies were done on relationship of the dental status and the nutritional status. The present study was done to study relation between edentulism and the presence of anemia. The study was included of 46 adult patients with edentulism and same numbers of patients were taken as controls. The results were tabulated and analyzed with the help of IBM SPSS statistics 20 using student’s t test. The hemoglobin levels were lower in the edentulous patients that that of the control group. The present study had shown that the nutritional status were poor resulting in anemia in case of edentulous patients as compared to control group with the same age group.

Tuberkulosis Paru merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Kejadian penyakit Tuberkulosis Paru di Puskesmas Rejosari Kota Pekanbaru merupakan kasus tertinggi di kota pekanbaru sebanyak 798 kasus. Tujuan penelitian ini secara umum untuk mengetahui hubungan kondisi fisik rumah dan status gizi dengan insiden penyakit tuberkulosis paru. Penelitian ini adalah analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Case Control. Populasi kasus dalam penelitian ini yaitu seluruh penderita Tuberkulosis Paru. Sampel penelitian yaitu 18 responden kelompok kasus dan 72 responden kelompok kontrol dengan menggunakan teknik Simple random sampling. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Rejosari Kota Pekanbaru pada bulan Juli – Agustus 2020. Alat ukur yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner, roll meter, lux meter, dan timbangan berat badan. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil uji statistik hubungan dari setiap variabel semuanya berhubungan dengan insiden penyakit tuberkulosis paru, yaitu variabel luas ventilasi (p = 0,002, OR = 7,857), kepadatan hunian (p = 0,003, OR = 5,500), pencahayaan (p = < 0,05, OR = 8,500), dan status gizi (p = 0,001, OR = 10,818). Diharapkan kepada tim pencegah dan pengendalian penyakit tuberkulosis paru Puskesmas Rejosari meningkatkan penyuluhan atau pemahaman langsung kepada masyarakat penderita TB paru serta membentuk dan melatih kader – kader untuk penanggulangan Tuberkulosis Paru. Diharapkan masyarakat selalu membuka jendela agar udara dan cahaya dapat masuk ke dalam rumah serta menjaga pola makan yang seimbang dan sehat. Pulmonary Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Rejosari Primary Health Center Pekanbaru City is the highest case in Pekanbaru city with 798 cases. The purpose of this study in general was to determine the relationship between the physical condition of the house and nutritional status with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. This research is a quantitative analytic with a Case Control approach. The populations of cases were all patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The research sample was 18 respondents in the case group and 72 respondents in the control group using the simple random sampling technique. The research location was carried out in the Rejosari Public Health Center, Pekanbaru City in July - August 2020. The measuring instruments used were questionnaires, roll meters, lux meters, and weight scales. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using the Chi Square test. The statistical test results of the relationship between each variable were all related to the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, namely the variable area of ventilation (p = 0.002, OR = 7.857), occupancy density (p = 0.003, OR = 5,500), lighting (p =0.05, OR 8.5)and nutritional status (p = 0.001, OR = 10.818). It is hoped that the team for preventing and controlling pulmonary tuberculosis at the Rejosari Community Health Center will increase direct education or understanding to people with pulmonary tuberculosis and form and train cadres to control pulmonary tuberculosis. It is hoped that people will always open windows so that air and light can enter the house and maintain a balanced and healthy diet.
