Abstract: Malaria is still a public health problem worldwide, especially in economically underdeveloped and undeveloped countries. There are several laboratory diagnostic tests for malaria inter alia microscopic examination (thick and thin stained blood smear), rapid diagnostic test (RDT), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This study was aimed to compare the effectivity of RDT with of microscopic examination as the gold standard of malaria diagnosis. This was a diagnostic test study. Blood samples were obtained from 38 people of clinical malaria who lived at Likupang Barat from October 2015 to January 2016. The RDT results were compared with the microscopic examination to obtain the sensitivity and specifity levels. The results showed that of the RDT, the sensitivity was 67%, the specifity was 97%, the positive predictive value was 67%, and the negative predictive value was 97%. Conclusion: Rapid diagnostic test was nearly as effective as the microscopic examination of malaria.Keywords: RDT, microscopic examination, sensitivity, specificityAbstrak: Malaria masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia terutama di negara yang secara ekonomis masih tertinggal dan belum berkembang. Diagnosis laboratorik malaria dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa cara antara lain pemeriksaan mikroskopik yaitu hapusan darah tebal dan hapusan darah tipis, rapid diagnostic test (RDT), dan polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan tingkat efektifitas antara RDT dengan pemeriksaan mikroskopik yang merupakan baku emas diagnostik malaria. Jenis penelitian ialah uji diagnostik. Sampel darah diambil dari 38 orang dengan klinis malaria di Likupang Barat sejak Oktober 2015 - Januari 2016. Hasil pemeriksaan RDT dibandingkan dengan hasil pemeriksaan mikrsokopik untuk mengetahui tingkat sensivitas dan spesifisitasnya. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan tingkat sensivitas RDT secara umum sebesar 67%, spesifitas sebesar 97%, nilai duga positif sebesar 67%, dan nilai duga negatif sebesar 97%. Simpulan: Pemeriksaan RDT menunjukkan efektivitas dan akurasi yang hampir sama dengan pemeriksaan mikroskopik.Kata kunci: RDT, pemeriksaan mikroskopis, sensitivitas, spesifitas

ABSTRACT Plasmodium is a parasite causing malaria, the most important infection disease in the world. Gold standard of malaria diagnosis was founded Plasmodium by Giemsa staining method. Fundamental difference between Giemsa and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is the ability to detect parasite. Giemsa can detect minimal 50-100 parasit/μl whereas PCR detect parasite DNA in lower parasitemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR compared to blood slide with Giemsa in detecting of malaria infection. A diagnostic test has been conducted in Laboratorium Biomedik Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Jambi and Laboratorium Biomolekuler Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sriwijaya. There were 87 subjects who fulfilled the criteria inclusion and drawn by consecutive sampling. Blood samples were taken from venous blood. Detection of Plasmodium used Giemsa and PCR method. Detection of Plasmodium from 87 subjects, Giemsa and PCR method founded 1 subject (1.1%) P. falciparum and 4 subjects (4.6%) P. vivax. 82 subjects (94.3%) were negative. The sensitivity and specificity of PCR was 100%, positive predictive value and negative predictive value  was 100%.Conclusion is higher sensitivity and spesificity PCR methode in the malaria diagnosis was proven and PCR methode able to identified Plasmodium species accuratly.   Keywords: Plasmodium, Malaria, Giemsa, PCR, Diagnostic Test   ABSTRAK Plasmodium merupakan parasit penyebab malaria, suatu penyakit infeksi paling penting di dunia. Baku emas diagnosa malaria  adalah menemukan Plasmodium melalui pemeriksaan mikroskopis dengan pengecatan Giemsa. Perbedaan mendasar antara metode Giemsa dengan metode Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) terletak pada kemampuan mendeteksi parasit. Metode Giemsa hanya mampu mendeteksi Plasmodium dengan ambang batas antara 50-100 parasit/μl sedangkan metode  PCR dapat mendeteksi DNA parasit pada parasitemia yang lebih rendah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sensitivitas dan spesifisitas metode PCR dibandingkan dengan pengecatan Giemsa dalam menegakkan diagnosis infeksi malaria. Penelitian ini merupakan uji diagnostik yang dilakukan di Laboratorium Biomedik Fakultas Kedokteran dan Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Jambi dan Laboratorium Biomolekuler Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sriwijaya. Penelitian dilakukan mulai bulan Januari sampai April 2017. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 87 orang yang diambil secara consecutive sampling dari laboratorium RS Theresia Jambi. Semua subjek diambil sampel darah venanya, kemudian dilakukan pengecatan Giemsa dan pemeriksaan PCR. Hasil pemeriksaan PCR nested menggunakan primer genus dan primer spesies Plasmodium ditemukan P.falciparum positif sebanyak 1 sampel (1,1%). Sedangkan P.vivax positif sebanyak 4 sampel (4,6%). Sebanyak 82 sampel (94,3%) negatif. Hal ini sesuai dengan hasil pemeriksaan mikroskopis dengan pengecatan Giemsa. Metode PCR dibandingkan dengan metode pengecatan Giemsa sensitivitas dan spesifisitasnya 100%, nilai prediksi positif dan nilai prediksi negatifnya 100%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode PCR sangat sensitif dan spesifik dalam penegakan diagnosis malaria dan mampu mengidentifikasi spesies parasit secara akurat.   Kata Kunci: Plasmodium, Malaria, Giemsa, PCR, Uji Diagnostik.

Background: The diagnostic test for malaria is mostly based on Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) and detection by microscopy. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is also a sensitive detection method that can be considered as a diagnostic tool. The outcome of malaria microscopy detection depends on the examiner's ability and experience. Some RDT has been distributed in Indonesia, which needs to be evaluated for their results. Objective: This study aimed to compare the performance of RightSign RDT and ScreenPlus RDT for detection of Plasmodium in human blood. We used specific real-time polymerase chain reaction abTESTMMalaria qPCRII) and gold standard of microscopy detection method to measure diagnostic efficiency. Methods: Blood specimens were evaluated using RightSign RDT, ScreenPlus RDT, Microscopy detection, and RT-PCR as the protocol described. The differences on specificity (Sp), sensitivity (Sn), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were analyzed using McNemar and Kruskal Wallis analysis. Results: A total of 105 subjects were recruited. Based on microscopy test, RightSign RDT had sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, 100%, 98%, 98.2%, 100%, respectively. ScreenPlus showed 100% sensitivity, 98% specificity, 98.2% PPV, 100% NPV. The sensitivity of both RDTs became lower (75%) and the specificity higher (100 %) when using real-time PCR. Both RDTs showed a 100% agreement. RT-PCR detected higher mix infection when compared to microscopy and RDTs. Conclusion: RightSign and ScreenPlus RDT have excellent performance when using microscopy detection as a gold standard. Real-time PCR method can be considered as a confirmation tool for malaria diagnosis.

Background: Gonorrhoea is a disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae that is transmitted through sexual contact. There are several examinations performed on gonorrhoea infection, one of them is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The objective is to determine the diagnostic test of urine samples, vaginal smear and combination of urine and vaginal smear in identifying Neisseria gonorrhoeae using the PCR method.Methods: This study is a diagnostic test with a cross-sectional design involving 58 female sex workers (FSW). All FSWs are carried out of history and physical examination. Urine sampling, vaginal smear, combination of urine and vaginal smear, and endocervical smear were obtained for identifying Neisseria gonorrhoeae using PCR method, then a diagnostic test analysis of each sample was performed.Results: The diagnostic test of PCR for Neisseria gonorrhoeae from urine samples was found sensitivity 44.4%, specificity 20.0%, positive predictive value (PPV) 83.3%, negative predictive value (NPV) 3.8% and accuracy 42.0%. From vaginal smear, we obtained sensitivity 34.0%, specificity 66.7%, PPV 88.2%, NPV 12.1% and accuracy 38.0%. And from combination of urine and vaginal smear, we obtained sensitivity 51.1%, specificity 20.0%, PPV 85.2%, NPV 4.3% and accuracy 48.0%.Conclusions: From these results the researchers suggested that urine, vaginal and combination of urine and vaginal smear could not be used as an alternative to examine the sensitivity and specificity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, so the endocervical sample remained the reference sample for examination of nucleic acid amplification tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
