Microbiological examination of the floor swab in one of the inpatient rooms of Soemitro Air Force Hospital found that the number of microbactery on the floor was 10 colonies. These results indicate that the floor in the inpatient room is indicated to be the growth of microorganisms. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with airborne microbactery counts at Soemitro Air Force Hospital in Surabaya.This research was using analytic observational. The population in this study were all rooms in Soemitro Air Force Hospital totaling 47 rooms and 38 rooms were sampled which were divided into 4 (four) Risk Zones (Low, Medium, High and Very High Risk). Sampling technique was done by Stratified Random Sampling. Data analysis using Pearson Product Moment Test. The results showed the average number of airborne microbacterial in Soemitro Air Force Hospital was 52.8 CFU/m3. The temperature was 30.8oC with a humidity of 61.8%. Lighting averaged 83.6 Lux. The results of the observation of sanitation assessment and space maintenance were 88.8% and 77.7% respectively. The Pearson Product Moment Test states that there was a relationship between temperature, humidity, lighting, room sanitation and room maintenance with airborne germ counts at Soemitro Air Force Hospital. Soemitro Air Force Hospital was expected to carry out proper maintenance and sanitation of space to prevent the growth of microbacterial both in the air and on the surface of objects in the room.

Background The prevalence of hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection in Indonesia is high. The most effective way to control HBV infection is by hepatitis B (HB) immunization. Many studies reported that hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) seroprotection declines in children > 10 years of age. In addition many factors can influence anti-HBs titer.Objective To measure anti-HBs titer and evaluate possible factors associated with anti-HBs titer.Methods This cross sectional  study was conducted in children 10-15 years of age from ten schools at Tuminting District, Manado, North Sulawesi, from October to November 2014. All subjects had completed the hepatitis B immunization scheme. By stratified random sampling, 105 children were selected as subjects. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 22.Results. From 48 schools, we selected 10 schools from which to draw a total of 105 children, but only 23 (21.9%) children had detectable anti-HBs . Of all subjects, 76 (72.4%)  were female, 78 (74.3%)  had good nutritional status, and 98 (93.3%)  had birth weight ≥2,500 grams. Data from immunization record books showed that 26 (24.8%) subjects received the HB-1 vaccination at ≤7 days of age and 45 (42.9%) subjects had a ≥2 month interval between the HB-2 and HB-3 vaccinations. Multivariate analysis showed that administration of HB-1 at ≤7 days of age  and a ≥2 month interval between HB-2 and HB-3  had significant associations with anti-HB seroprotection in children.Conclusion A low proportion of subjects who had completed the hepatitis B immunization scheme had detectable anti-HBs titer (21.9%). Administration of HB-1 at ≤7 days of age and a ≥2-month interval between HB-2 and HB-3 vaccinations are important factors in anti-HB seroprotection in children aged 10-15 years.
