Early Manifestation

Localized erythema at the site of a previous bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) inoculation is a relatively specific and early manifestation of Kawasaki disease (KD),1 and redness and crusting are characteristic features at the site of BCG immunization during the acute phase of the illness.2 With these findings in mind, we evaluated the tuberculin skin test reactivity of children with KD, as determined by a commercially available (Sclavo, Siena, Italy) and intradermally injected (5 TU) purified protein derivative (PPD).

Latar Belakang. Tuberkulosis adalah suatu penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberkulosis laten adalah salah satu keadaan yang terjadi ketika terpapar dengan bakteri TB namun tidak menunjukan gejala klinis. Anggota keluarga rentan tertular TB dikarenakan sulit menghindari kontak dengan penderita. Uji tuberculin skin test adalah salah satu uji yang dipakai untuk mendiagnosa TB laten. Tujuan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran TB laten pada kontak serumah dengan pasien TB BTA positif.  Menentukan hubungan antara TB laten dengan umur, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok. Metode.  Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian analitik korelasi dengan desain cros sectional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 22 orang. Hasil. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian  sebanyak 15 orang (68,2%) dengan indurasi > 10 mm, dan  7 orang (31, 8%) dengan indurasi < 10 mm . Sedangkan berdasarkan hasil uji statistik untuk melihat hubungan antara pengaruh umur, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok dengan status TB laten diperoleh approx signifikan > 0,05. Kesimpulan. Dengan demikian prevalensi TB laten pada kontak serumah pasien BTA positif sebesar 68,2% dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara umur, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok dengan status TB.

Objective:: The study was conducted to determine whether synthetic disease modifying Anti Rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) suppresses the latency of Tuberculosis (TB) infection in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients along with other variables. Methods:: This was done through Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) using Purified protein derivative (PPD) in cohort of RA Patients. The TST was taken positive when induration post PPD injection was  5mm and negative or anergic when it was < 5mm. We included 100 patients (N = 100). Results:: The prevalence of positive TST was 36%, while 64% presented a negative result. Negative TST was significantly associated with steroid usage (39.4%, 95% CI: 28.4%-51.4%). Anergic (TST negative) and non-anergic (TST positive) patients were separated in groups, and a new analysis was done with elaboration on DMARDs used. Conclusion:: Steroid use and not treatment with methotrexate or other DMARDs was associated with TST negativity and thus TST should be interpreted with caution especially before starting biologicals.
