Tuberculosis In Children

Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of ten leading causes of death worldwide, including Indonesia. Indonesia is one of seven countries that causes 64% deaths due to tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis through droplet nuclei in the air. It can occur to any group age, including children and adolescent, if there is a contact history of people with tuberculosis infection. In 2016, one million children had tuberculosis and around 250,000 children died because of tuberculosis. This study aimed to know the profile of tuberculosis in children and adolescent at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya.Methods: This was a descriptive study using retrospective approach. Sample of this study was collected from electronic medical record provided by Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya using statistic formula of single sample for estimated population proportions of children and adolescent with tuberculosis from 2013-2017, with total samples of 149 people.Results: There were 149 samples of children and adolescent patients with tuberculosis. Most of the children were mostly 0-4 years old and 57% were female. 84% of the children had been immunized with BCG and classified as moderate, and 35% were under nutritional status. This study showed that 67% of the children in household contacts of adult tuberculosis patients also had tuberculosis. The most frequent symptoms of tuberculosis in children and adolescent were fever (72%) and cough (80%).Conclusion: Tuberculosis in children and adolescent is more likely to occur in children than adolescent, especially children within group age of 0-4 years old. The number of pulmonary tuberculosis in children and adolescent are higher than extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract: Preterm labor is labor that occurs at 20 - <37 weeks gestational age calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Preterm labor is one cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, which is 60-80% worldwide. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using the medical record of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology/Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou General Hospital Manado period of January 1st to December 31st 2013. There were 151 premature labors during that period. The most frequent characteristics were age group 21-34 years, high school education, and house wife. Based on the parity status, the highest number was P0. History of abortion was found only in a small part of samples. The highest number of diseases/complications was rupture of membrane. The most frequent type of labor was spontaneous labor with back of the head position.Keywords: premature birth, premature babyAbstrak: Persalinan prematur adalah persalinan yang berlangsung pada usia kehamilan 20 - <37 minggu dihitung dari hari pertama haid terakhir.

While tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy among household contacts is effective at an individual level, its population-level impact on reducing TB incidence has been unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess, among the new tuberculosis patients started on treatment between 1 October, 2018 and 30 June, 2019 in the public health facilities of Udupi district (South India): i) the proportion with a ‘history of household TB exposure’ and ii) sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with it. We conducted a cross-sectional study involving record review and patient interviews. Of 565 TB patients, 273(48%) were interviewed. Of them, 71(26%, 95% CI: 21%–32%) patients had a ‘history of household TB exposure (ever)’ with about half exposed in the past five years of diagnosis. Considering a new TB case as a proxy for incident TB, and ‘history of household TB exposure’ a proxy for household transmission, and assuming 100% effectiveness of preventive therapy, we may infer that a maximum of 26% of the incident cases can be prevented by giving preventive therapy to all household contacts of TB patients. In multivariable analysis, females and tobacco users had a significantly higher prevalence of household TB exposure. If there are resource constraints, these subgroups may be prioritized.

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease that can bring about the sufferer's self-stigma and also affect his quality of life. A number of studies report that living with TB has a negative influence on the quality of life of sufferers even with or without self-stigma. The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of life of TB patients who experienced self-stigma. This research is a descriptive study, sample were 31 pulmonary TB patients. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data analyzed by using frequency distribution and percentage. The researcher first screened TB patients who experienced self-stigma. The results showed that 25 people (80.64%) respondents experienced mild self-stigma. A total of 9 respondents (36%) had a quality of life score in the good category and as many as 16 respondents (64%) had enough category with an average quality of life score is 56.57. While respondents who had moderate self-stigma were 6 people (19.36%) with a good quality of life score was 1 person (16.67%) and enough category quality of life score were 5 people (83.33%) with an average quality of life score is 49.92.

Lymph Node Tuberculosis

Abstract Background Lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB) represents the most common site of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Among children, due to non-specific clinical features, the diagnosis is often delayed. We aimed to compare the clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary features of LNTB between adults and children. Methods We conducted a retrospective study including patients hospitalized for LNTB in the infectious diseases and pediatric department between 1993 and 2018. Children aged ≤18 years were included. Results Overall, we encountered 231 cases of LNTB. There were 40 children (17.3%) with a mean age of 11±4 years and 191 adults (82.7%) with a mean age of 42±16 years. As to gender, females were more affected (adults: 67% vs children: 70%), with no significant difference (p &gt;0.05). A family history of tuberculosis was significantly more frequent among children (20% vs 6.3%; p=0.01). Raw milk consumption (38.2% vs 30%; p &gt;0.05) and close contact with animals (29.8% vs 35%; p &gt;0.05) were noted among both adults and children. Fever (53.4% vs 32.5%; p=0.01), night sweats (35.8% vs 10%; p=0.001), loss of appetite (38.2% vs 17.5%; p=0.01) and weight loss (35.1% vs 15%; p=0.01) were significantly more frequent among adults. Tuberculin skin test was positive in 75.8% of the cases among adults and in 86.2% of the cases among children (p &gt;0.05). Multifocal tuberculosis was significantly more frequent among adults (23.8% vs 5.7%; p=0.01). Antitubercular therapy was prescribed for a mean duration of 10±4 months among adults and for 9±3 months among children, with no significant difference (p &gt;0.05). Side effects of antitubercular drugs were more frequent among adults (33% vs 10.3%), with a significant difference (p=0.004). Comparison of the disease evolution showed no significant difference between adults and children, regarding recovery (94.8% vs 90%), relapse (5.2% vs 5%) and death (0.5% vs 2.5%). Conclusion The clinical presentation of LNTB among children was less common and misleading. A family history of tuberculosis and a high index of suspicion might shorten the diagnostic delay.
