Background: Rifampicin-resistant (RR-TB) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a major health problem worldwide and in Indonesia also become a challenge in total eradication of tuberculosis. Dr. Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Public Hospital (RSKD) Balikpapan is one of the two referral hospitals in East Kalimantan for evaluation and initiation of MDR-TB treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical profile and treatment of RR-TB and MDR-TB patients at RSKD. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from eTB manager database and medical record of RR-TB and MDR-TB at RSKD from January 2013 to October 2016. Results: Twenty eight RR-TB and MDR-TB patients, most of them were female (53.6%), belong to 35-44 age group (28.6%), housewife (25%), graduated from senior high school (42,9%), malnutrition (28.6%), and relapse cases (50%). Diabetes mellitus and anemia were found in 42,9% and 44.4% of the patients, respectively. The most resistant pattern is rifampicin-resistant TB (57,1%) followed by rifampicin and isoniazid resistant. The most common side effect of TB treatment was gastrointestinal complaints (44.4%). The success rate of MDRTB treatment at RSKD was 20%, followed by 20% mortality, 50% of lost to follow up, 10% of treatment failure, and there are 8 patients still ongoing therapy. Conclusion: Most of the RR-TB and MDR-TB cases were relapse cases. Counseling, education, and support for the patients undergoing MDR-TB treatment are strongly needed to increase success rate and decreasing number of lost to follow up.

ObjectiveMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization is associated with serious surgical site infection in high-risk patients. High prevalence of MRSA colonization was reported in many settings, nonetheless local data is required. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence and risk factor of MRSA nasal carriage in adult patients in National Referral Hospital in Indonesia before underwent elective surgical procedure.ResultsFrom 384 patients, 16.9% patients of them had undergone orthopaedic surgery, 51.3% had received antibiotics within the previous 3-month and 41.1% patients had history of hospitalization within the previous 1 year. Total of 21.6% patients were on invasive devices for at least 48 h before the operation; 24.2% had an open wound; 19.3% patients were referred from other hospital/ward. Of these patients, solid tumor without metastasis was the most common factor identified by the Charlson index (38.3%). Nasal colonization of Gram-positive bacteria was detected in 76.8%; S. aureus in 15.6% of patients (n = 60). MRSA was identified in three isolates (0.8%) by both culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. Due to low prevalence of MRSA nasal carriage, this finding supports the recommendation to not routinely apply mupirocin for nasal decolonization on patient planned for surgery in Indonesia.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-018-3150-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Muscle hematomas are rare complications in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). We report a case of 58-year-old-female admitted with dengue fever who developed spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma complicating DHF. She presented with progressive thrombocytopenia with platelet count reaching 13000/μL at its lowest point. There was evidence of plasma leakage and persistent cough during the course of illness. During the recovery phase, she reported severe abdominal pain and developed hematoma in the right rectus sheath, which was confirmed by abdominal computed-tomography scan and serial magnetic resonance imaging. This complication during convalescent period of DHF needs to be recognized so it can be managed appropriately.
