Environmental Hygiene and House Dust Mites in Dormitories for Female Students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2016

The high density of occupancy and poor environmental hygiene in An Nawawi Islamic Boarding School, Purworejo could effect on the health status of students. Scabies is one of health problem that often occurs in Islamic boarding schools. The aims of this study was to determine risk factors of scabies transmission on students at An Nawawi Boarding School Berjan Gebang subdistrict, Purworejo District of Central Java. This study used observational analytic methods using case-control design. The measured variables were environmental hygiene, residential density, personal hygiene, contact with patient, knowledge, sex, age and the presence or absence of house dust mites (TDR). The population in this study were students at Boarding School An Nawawi with the sample size is 104 students. Data obtained from environmental hygiene observational, questionnaires, physician diagnosis, skin swab sampling and sampling of house dust. Data were analyzed with Chi-Square (α=0.05). The result of this study showed that 115 of 161 students were diagnosed with scabies and S. scabiei was founded from 34 slide of skin swab. Environmental hygiene factors (p=0.000; OR=9.490), contact with patients (p=0.040; OR=2.912), sex (p=0.000; OR=5.083), and age of santri related to scabies transmission (p=0.000). House dust mites Dermatophagoides sp. found at An Nawawi Islamic Boarding School. Environmental cleanliness is the most dominant factor that influences the transmission of scabies at An Nawawi Islamic Boarding School

Prick Test

Beberapa kasus urtikaria pada paparan debu dan diantaranya menghubungkan sensitivitas tungau debu rumah (TDR) dengan urtikaria berdasarkan riwayat pasien dan pemeriksaan uji intradermal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan korelasi antara kepadatan TDR dan rekurensi urtikaria. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini 30 orang. Kepadatan TDR dari tiap kamar sampel dihitung dengan mengumpulkan debu, dan sampel dinilai sensitivitas terhadao TDR dengan pemeriksaan skin prick test (SPT). Diagnosis urtikaria berdasarkan anamnesis, kemudian ditanyaan rekurensinya dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Hasil: Dari 30 peserta, tujuh (23,3%) sampel memiliki kepadatan TDR sedang sementara 23 (76,7%) memiliki kepadatan rendah. Selain itu, 15 sampel positif SPT terhadap alergen TDR. Dari anamnesis, 12 (40%) sampel didiagnosis urtikaria dan diantaranya, 11 orang (91,67%) positif terhadap SPT. Tidak ada sampel yang memiliki rekurensi urtikaria dalam tiga bulan terakhir. Kesimpulan: Meskipun penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan antara kepadatan TDR dan tingkat kekambuhan urtikaria (p> 0,05), TDR memang bisa memicu eksaserbasi. Penelitian ini membutuhkan penyelidikan lebih lanjut dengan ukuran sampel yang lebih besar.
