Prevalensi dan Tingkat Infeksi Soil Transmitted Helminths Dihubungkan dengan Golongan Usia dan Jenis Kelamin pada 5 Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

<p>Soil transmitted helminths (STH) infection is an infectious disease with a high prevalence,<br />especially in developing countries. More than 1.5 billion people or 24% of the world's population are infected with STH. Indonesia is one of 11 countries in Southeast Asia which are declared as endemic for STH infection. Data on the prevalence of STH infection in children in Indonesia is still quite high, namely 60-90%. Meanwhile, infections that occur continuously will reduce the quality of human resources, especially children. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the prevalence and level of STH infection in children of primary school age, and to find out whether there is a relationship between the prevalence and rate of STH infection with age and sex. This research was conducted in 5 State Elementary Schools (SD) located in Jakarta, Bekasi and Serang (Banten) in 2016. This study used analytical cross sectional method. Samples in the form of feces of students int he 5 state elementary schools. Stool samples collected were 61 from SDN Tanah Tinggi 01 Pagi<br />Central Jakarta, 57 from SDN Pondok Bambu 04 Duren Sawit East Jakarta, 57 from SDN 02 Bantar Gebang Bekasi, 52 from SDN Cikedokan 01 Kecamatan Cikarang Barat Bekasi and 55 from SDN Cakung Serang. The samples collected had fulfilled the inclusion criteria, aged 6-12 years, had agreed and signed the informed consent sheet. Exclusion criteria included taking worm medicine 6 months earlier and not collecting feces on a predetermined day. Examination of the sample was carried out by the Kato-Katz method. The results of this study indicate that, there is only one school that is positive for helminthiasis, while 4 other schools are negative. At SDN in Serang (Banten) 9 children were found infected with STH or prevalence was 16.4% with mild intensity. The types of STH found were Ascaris lumbricoides (68.75%), Trichuris trichiura (31.25%), and no eggs from Necator americanus. The highest frequency occurs in children aged 6-8 years. There is no significant relationship between the prevalence and rate of STH infection with age and sex.</p>

Health Promotion and Prevalence Surveys Soil-Transmitted Helminths Infection in Jatiwarna, Bekasi City

“…Hasil ini berbeda dengan sebuah penelitian yang tidak menemukan adanya siswa SD yang terinfeksi STH di Bantargebang, Kota Bekasi; Cikedokan, Kabupaten Bekasi; serta Duren Sawit dan Tanah Tinggi, Jakarta. Namun, penelitian yang sama menemukan adanya infeksi STH pada siswa SD di Cakung, Serang, Banten dengan prevalensi mencapai 16,4 persen (Hardjanti et al, 2018). Penelitian lain menunjukan bahwa prevalensi infeksi STH pada anak usia sekolah setingkat taman kanak-kanak atau sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat sebesar 3,2 persen dan di Jakarta Barat sebesar 1 persen (Wahdini, Bellarosa, & Sungkar, 2022).…”

Pentingnya Pengetahuan Tentang Penyakit Kecacingan Dengan Menerapkan Pola Hidup Bersih Dan Sehat (Phbs)

“…Ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi tingginya angka kecacingan pada masyarakat Indonesia selain karena kondisi lingkungan geografis, juga karena faktor kesadaran untuk melakukan pola hidup bersih dan sehat, rendahnya pengetahuan kesehatan, dan kurangnya penyuluhan kepada masyarakat terutama di daerah terpencil memberi kontribusi tingginya angka kecacingan di Indonesia. Apabila dicermati lebih lanjut, infeksi cacing ini sepele, tetapi pengaruhnya bisa sangat mengganggu terutama pada anak-anak yang dalam masa pertumbuhan, infeksi ringan mengakhibatkan anemia dengan berbagai manifestasi kilinis, baik yang terlihat secara nyata maupun yang tidak terlihat (Hardjanti et al, 2018;Mahartika & Nurdian, 2019). Kasus infeksi yang sedang sampai berat bisa mengakhibatkan adanya gangguan penyerapan pada usus dan gangguan beberapa fungsi organ dalam.…”

“…Upaya dalam mengatasi kejadian penyakit kecacingan, tidak cukup dengan melakukan pengobatan saja. Namun, ada faktor-faktor lain yang berperan dalam menunjang penyakit ini, yaitu keadaan sosial ekonomi masyarakat yang rendah, perkembangan ekologi dan higienitas masyarakat yang buruk (Febriza et al, 2015;Hardjanti et al, 2018).…”

Helminth infections drive heterogeneity in human type 2 and regulatory cells

“…We next sought to assess whether ethnic differences were driving the observed differences between Europeans and rural Indonesians. Therefore, we analyzed a second cohort of eight Europeans and eight Indonesians from urban centers, such as central Jakarta, where helminth infections are not found (urban Indonesians) (41), and eight Indonesians from the rural setting with current helminth infection (rural Indonesians) (tables S1 and S2). The same CyTOF panels and analysis strategy were used for the 14.3 million unstimulated and 12.2 million stimulated cells measured in this independent cohort (Fig.…”
