BACKGROUND: Anemia is a condition where body is having less eritrosit. Worms is an infectious sickness caused by worms’ parasite that endanger health. Worms sickness that usually infects and gives very bad affect is worms infection transmitted through soil or usually called “Soil Transmited Helmintes (STH).” In directly STH could affects supply and absorption and food metabolism to human body. Cumulatively, STH caused disadvantages like decreasing in calori and protein and loss of blood. This research aims to analysis impact factors of The Infection of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) towards. SUBJEK AND METHOD: This is a quantitative research with cross sectional study design. This research is done in the District of Northwest Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Subject of this research is elementary schoold students with number of sampels are 105 students chosen by using Multistage Random Sampling Technique. Independent Variabel is the Infektion of Soil Transmitted Helminth and dependent variabel is Anemia. Data collecting technique is by checking the faeces using direct method and by checking capiler blood using strip test method, continued by interviewing using quisionaire and analyzed using simple Logistic Regresion. RESULT: Number of Infektion of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) cases in elementary school students in the District of Northwest Sumba is 40%. Worms’ egg found majority are Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura (38.1%), in a single infection was found Ascaris lumbricoides (31%) and Trichuris trichiura (21%), and the minority worms found were Hookworm Ancylostoma duodenale (2.4%). Number of anemia cases in Elementary School students is 57.1%. Statictic examination test shows that the infection of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) positively and significantly affects the anemia cases with (OR= 27,3; 95% CI = 13,1-57,0; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The probability of infection of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) positively and significantly affects the anemia cases in Elementary School Students.

tuberculosis, yang menyerang berbagai organ terutama paru-paru. Mtb mengandung berbagai C-polisakarida yang dalam tubuh bisa diketahui dengan pemeriksaan CRP. CRP adalah suatu protein alphaglobulin yang timbul dalam darah bila terjadi inflamasi. Tujuan pemeriksaan untuk mengetahui gambaran C-Reaktif Protein pada pasien Tuberkulosis dengan terapi Obat Anti Tuberkulosis (OAT) di Puskesmas Naibonat. Metode yang digunakan bersifat deskriptif pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah seluruh pasien Tuberkulosis yang tengah menjalani terapi OAT di Puskesmas Naibonat berjumlah 20 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan CRP positif sebanyak 7 orang (35%) dan CRP negatif sebanyak 13 orang (65%) paling banyak ditemukan pada perempuan, umur 26-50 tahun dan > 50 tahun, dan kategori pendidikan menengah atas (SMA).Kesimpulan dari 20 orang pasien Tuberkulosis yang tengah menjalani terapi OAT, yang mempunyai CRP positif sebanyak 7 orang (35%) dan CRP negatif sebanyak 13 orang (65%). Kata Kunci: Kadar CRP, Penderita TB, Terapi OAT.

The prevalence of nutritional problems for infants under 5 years of age (toddlers) in East Nusa Tenggara reaches 40.3%, the highest compared to other provinces in Indonesia. This figure is above the national nutritional problem prevalence of 29.6%. One of the factors that causes the nutritional status of children under five is an intestinal worm infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence model of intestinal worm infection in children under five with nutritional problems in Central Kupang District, Kupang Regency. Quantitative research method with cross sectional study design. The sample size of this study is a total population of 80 children under five and the independent variables are environmental sanitation and personal hygiene and the dependent variable is malnutrition and low nutrition status. The data collection technique was carried out by weighing to determine the nutritional status and followed by fecal examination to identify worm eggs and analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The results showed that the incidence of intestinal worm infections was 42% of children under five with nutritional problems. The results of statistical tests showed that there was an effect of snacking habits p value = 0.024 and food storage p value = 0.033. The conclusion is that the incidence of intestinal worm infections in children under five with nutritional problems is influenced by eating habits and opened food storage.
