Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that attacks the lungs which is typically characterized by the formation of granulomas causing tissue neocrosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis is caused by "mycrobacterium tuberculosis" a type of rod-shaped germ with a length of 1-4 / mm and a thickness of 0.3 -0.6 / mm. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2007 stated that the number of tuberculosis sufferers in Indonesia was around 528 thousand or in third place in the world after India and China. The WHO report in 2009 recorded Indonesia's ranking according to fifth position with the number of tuberculosis sufferers of 429 thousand people, namely India, China, South Africa, Nigeria, and Indonesia (source WHO Global Tuberculosis Control 2010). This study aims to describe the knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis patients about anti-tuberculosis drug withdrawal at RSU IPI Medan who is experiencing pulmonary tuberculosis. The sampling technique used in this research is Probability Sampling with the Random Sampling technique. Then the number of samples is 40 respondents. researchers used primary data. With the results of the study, it is hoped that respondents will increase their knowledge by finding out and caring about the health of others in order to prevent the transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis and change bad behavior for the better, with the participation and cooperation of medical personnel and other health teams in provide precise and accurate information.

Background. The World Health Organization recommends that all children below the age of five who have household contact with an infectious tuberculosis case should receive isoniazid preventive treatment for at least six months after the active tuberculosis disease has been ruled out. This research aims to determine the adherence of children, eligible for isoniazid preventive treatment, to the treatment who had contact with pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods. A mixed study design was used to prospectively assess the adherence to IPT among children under the age of 5 in contact with pulmonary TB patients through the quantitative study design and barriers of adherence in view of health care professionals and the family of children through a descriptive qualitative study. The study was conducted from July 2019 to December 2019 in Addis Ababa. Data were collected by a structured datasheet from the selected health center registration book. Data were entered into Epi Data software and analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistical methods were used to summarize the sociodemographic characteristics of the study participants. Result. The ratio of the total number of pulmonary tuberculosis index cases recruited into the study to the number of child contacts aged less than 5 years was 1 : 1.32. The total isoniazid preventive treatment uptake in this study was 75.2%; one-fifth (21.3%) of the children who started IPT did not complete the full course of six-month isoniazid preventive treatment. Except for HIV not to be tested ( P < 0.001 ), there was no significant association of the listed risk factors in default to complete the full six months of preventive treatment. Conclusion. Enrolment of eligible children for isoniazid preventive treatment in the urban city Addis Ababa was still below the target of the World Health Organization End tuberculosis strategy by 2030. The treatment adherence rate also needs a great deal of effort to achieve the strategy. Child default after the first visit indicates a lack of understanding about the benefit and safety of preventive therapy in young children among families of TB patients, and awareness-creating efforts by health extension workers will help to improve the outcomes.

Introduction COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world, especially the frontline worriers. To get shielded through this war, the world is racing to reach and manufacture COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccination hesitancy is one of the significant obstacles to global health. Objectives This study aimed to assess the perception and attitude of healthcare workers in Egypt toward COVID-19 vaccines, acknowledge the determinants of their attitude, and the factors that could increase the acceptance of the vaccine. Methods an observational web-based anonymous survey was conducted on 385 Egyptian healthcare workers in different governorates. The questionnaire-based on Vaccine Hesitancy Survey Questions of the World Health Organization was available in Arabic and English languages and was tested for reliability. Results Regarding vaccination decision, 51% of the participants were undecided, 28% refused, and 21% accepted vaccination. Reasons for vaccine acceptance mainly were risks of COVID-19 (93%), safety (57.5%), and effectiveness (56.25%) of the vaccine. Simultaneously, the reasons for vaccine hesitancy were the absence of enough clinical trials (92.4%) and fear of side effects of the vaccine (91.4%). The leading factor that could increase vaccination acceptance among the participants was to get sufficient and accurate information about the available vaccines. The participants revealed a high mean level of concern for COVID-19 vaccines’ safety (3.8 of 5) that differs significantly among the different study groups ( P-value .002). Conclusion Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, only approximately 21% of Egyptian healthcare workers in our study accepted the COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy represents a major barrier to implementing vaccination programs.

BACKGROUND In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic put the world in crisis on both physical and psychological health. Simultaneously, a myriad of unverified information flowed on social media and online outlets. The situation was so severe that the World Health Organization identified it an infodemic on February 2020. OBJECTIVE We want to study the propagation patterns and textual transformation of COVID-19 related rumors on a closed-platform. METHODS We obtained a dataset of 114 thousand suspicious text messages collected on Taiwan’s most popular instant messaging platform, LINE. We also proposed an algorithm that efficiently cluster text messages into groups, where each group contains text messages within limited difference in content. Each group then represents a rumor and elements in each group is a message about the rumor. RESULTS 114 thousand messages were separated into 937 groups with at least 10 elements. Of the 936 rumors, 44.5% (417) were related to COVID-19. By studying 3 popular false COVID-19 rumors, we identified that key authoritative figures, mostly medical personnel, were often quoted in the messages. Also, rumors resurfaced multiple times after being fact-checked, and the resurfacing pattern were influenced by major societal events and successful content alterations, such as changing whom to quote in a message. CONCLUSIONS To fight infodemic, it is crucial that we first understand why and how a rumor becomes popular. While social media gives rise to unprecedented number of unverified rumors, it also provides a unique opportunity for us to study rumor propagations and the interactions with society. Therefore, we must put more effort in the areas.

Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infection and still a major worldwide health problem. Data from World Health Organization in 2013 showed that Indonesia was the fifth country with the highest prevalence of TB in the world. Treatment of TB in Indonesia is using the antituberculosis medication guide. One of the side effects of treatment is hepatotoxicity. Liver function tests commonly used are the transaminase enzymes (SGOT and SGPT). Levels of SGOT and SGPT will increase in case of damage or inflammation of the liver tissue. The results showed that after administration of the antituberculosis medication 26% of patients had high levels of transaminase enzymes meanwhile 74% of patients had normal levels of transaminase enzymes.Keywords: Pulmonal Tuberculosis, OAT, hepatotoxicity, transaminase enzymes, SGOT, SGPT Abstrak: Tuberkulosis paru adalah infeksi kronik yang sampai saat ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan dunia yang utama. Data WHO tahun 2013 menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia menempati negara kelima dengan prevalensi TB tertinggi di dunia. Pengobatan TB di Indonesia menggunakan panduan obat antituberkuolosis (OAT) dan salah satu efek samping pengobatan ialah hepatotoksisitas. Tes fungsi hati yang umum digunakan ialah pemeriksaan enzim transaminase yakni kadar SGOT dan SGPT yang akan menunjukkan peningkatan jika terjadi kerusakan atau radang pada jaringan hati. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan terdapat 26% pasien TB dengan kadar enzim transaminase yang tinggi setelah pemberian OAT, dan 74% pasien TB yang memiliki kadar enzim transaminase yang normal setelah pemberian OAT.Kata kunci: tuberkulosis paru, OAT, hepatotoksisitas, enzim transaminase, SGOT, SGPT
