Deteksi Protozoa Usus Oportunistik pada Penderita Diare Anak di Puskesmas Rawat Inap Pekanbaru

Abstract

Diarrhea is still a public health problem, especially in developing countries. Diarrhea causes morbidity and high mortality in children. Diarrhea can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites and food poisoning. One of the parasite that can cause diarrhea is intestinal protozoa. Lately, attention to intestinal opportunistic protozoan infections is increasing. Opportunistic intestinal protozoa infection is an infection by intestinal protozoa that had not considered important and now can cause disease in humans. Cryptosporidium sp, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Isospora belii and Blastocystis hominis are opportunistic intestinal protozoa. The clinical manifestations of the infection depends on the immune status of patients, ranging from asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals to chronic diarrhea not cured and fatal in patients imunokompromis. This study aims to detect opportunistic intestinal protozoa in children with diarrhea patients in health centers Inpatient Pekanbaru used modified acid fast stain procedure. A total of 76 samples tested positive obtained 22.3% of opportunistic intestinal protozoa found that 9.2% were infected with Cryptosporidium sp, Cyclospora infection were 2.6% and Blastocystis hominis 10.5%, while Isospora not found.

Identifikasi Protozoa Usus Oportunistik dan Faktor Risikonya Pada Anak Panti Asuhan Kota Pekanbaru

“…Penelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan pada anak-anak yang berobat ke puskesmas rawat inap di Pekanbaru tahun 2012 dengan hasil didapatkan jumlah anak laki-laki lebih banyak daripada anak perempuan yaitu 53 orang (55,21%). 7 Hal ini juga didukung oleh penelitian Saputra tahun 2017 yang menunjukkan hasil dengan karakteristik umur anak terbanyak yaitu 96 anak (96%) dengan rentang umur 9-11 tahun. 8 Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada enam panti asuhan di Kota Pekanbaru, didapatkan anak panti asuhan yang terinfeksi protozoa usus oportunistik sebanyak 11 (25,6%) anak.…”

Deteksi Protozoa Usus pada Anak di Kelurahan Pasie Nan Tigo Kecamatan Koto Tangah Kota Padang

“…5 Cryptosporidium sp, C. cayetanensis, I. belii dan B. hominis adalah protozoa usus oportunistik yang akhir-akhir ini sering ditemukan pada manusia. 6 Anak usia Sekolah Dasar (SD) merupakan kelompok umur yang paling sering terinfeksi. Hal ini disebabkan karena anak SD paling sering berkontak dengan tanah sebagai sumber infeksi.…”

Microbial Normal Flora: Its Existence And Their Contribution To Homeostasis

“…The existence of normal microflora actually also helps their host not to get too easily colonized and infected with enteral parasite [84]. Parasites usually enter the body through the oral fecal route and directly interact with the commensal bacteria of the intestine and causing diarrhea [84,85]. Infection may have obvious clinical manifestations, but it is suspected that there are many more asymptomatic intestinal parasitic infections [85,86].…”

Infection may have obvious clinical manifestations, but it is suspected that there are many more asymptomatic intestinal parasitic infections [85,86]. Normal microflora may increase resistance to parasitic infections at mucosal sites via changes in the composition of intestinal bacteria, and it may also alter systemic immunity to these parasites [84,87].…”
