Incidences of SARS-CoV-2 co-infected tuberculosis patients were reported globally, including in Italy and several European countries and resulted in a more complicated disease with severe clinical features and poorer clinical outcomes. To effectively manage this co-infection, it is important to be informed of the prevalence and characteristics of an acute SARS-CoV-2 co-infection on TB and determining factors of severity. Therefore, early warning signs can be recognized, monitored closely and managed. This retrospective study, carried out on hospitalized TB patients in Dr. Soetomo Hospital and Universitas Airlangga Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, used medical records from March 2020 to December 2022. Samples were from inpatients with a molecularly-Gene Xpert MTB/Rif-confirmed tuberculosis, and currently experienced respiratory and fever symptoms that resembles the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection or exacerbation of tuberculosis. They are then screened and examined using a molecular diagnostic test, with real-time RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. A total of 54 (0.7%) patients had TB-SARS-CoV-2 co-infection among 7,786 suspected to have TB, of which 35 had Rifampicin Sensitive (TB-RS), while 19 had TB Rifampicin Resistant (TB-RR) co-infected with SARS-CoV-2. The remaining 2,586 suspected TB patients had only MTB, based on the detection methods of X-pert MTB/RIF, but with negative RT-PCR of SARS-CoV-2. The clinical severity and mortality of TB-SARS-CoV2 co-infected patients were significantly associated with the number of co-morbidities (p=0.0156), and serum haemoglobin levels (p=0.0672), in which p value < 0.05 is considered significant.","PeriodicalId":13538,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease","volume":"35 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139351331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some vaccinated individuals with two complete doses of inactivated experienced SARS-CoV2 infection, including the healthcare workers (HCWs). This threat led to the emergent need for a vaccine booster with different types of platforms aiming to enhance immunity from the Omicron variant. We conducted a literature study on the concept of heterologous compared to homologous vaccines in COVID-19 vaccination. We obtained 22 studies about COVID-19 booster vaccines. Referring to seven of them, we compared and distinguished between heterologous and homologous vaccines. We then reported the literature review according to PRISMA guideline. The study demonstrated qualitatively that heterologous vaccinations boosted antibody receptor binding domain, neutralizing antibody, and spike-specific Th1 type T cell responses and had an impact on omicron infection when compared to homologous vaccines. In conclusion, heterologous, mRNA based vaccine, predominantly induces cellular and humoral responses better than the homologous vaccine. This increased immune response is expected to provide profound immunity against the Omicron.","PeriodicalId":13538,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139351386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design and using medical record data at Udayana University Hospital in 2020–2021. According to the study, 1.22% cases of misdiagnosis out of a total of 2365 suspected cases of COVID-19 were found at Udayana University. The majority of cases of misdiagnosis involved people older than 60 years, namely 7 people (24.1%) and were dominated by men, namely 17 people (58.6%). The most common symptoms found are fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache, and malaise, According to laboratory results, dominant patients have thrombocytopenia, followed by high alanine transaminase (ALT), high aspartate transaminase (AST), and leukopenia. The appearance of thrombocytopenia in cases of COVID-19 with dengue fever is the result of suppressed platelet synthesis due to virus induction which causes bone marrow suppression and platelet clearance. Leukopenia and leukocytosis may coexist with lymphopenia as an indicator of disease severity. The similarity of symptoms and laboratory results between COVID-19 and dengue fever allows for misdiagnosis that will affect the patient's management. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the misdiagnosis rate of COVID-19 with dengue fever at Udayana University Hospital in 2020–2021, so that it can reduce misdiagnosis of the disease.","PeriodicalId":13538,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139351336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fish can be contaminated by bacteria due to their high water and protein content. Indonesia is the world's main tuna producer. Salmonella typhi detection in fresh tuna in Indonesia must be negative for Salmonella microbial contamination in order to meet food safety requirements. Microbial testing has drawbacks, such as long delays. An electronic nose was used to detect Salmonella typhi bacteria in tuna fish. The sample used consisted of 3 kinds of samples: Salmonella typhi bacteria, tuna, and tuna with Salmonella typhi contamination. The research was conducted with a shelf life of 48 hours and a sensing period every 6 hours with a sensor array of 8 sensors. The sensor output data is processed using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) method. Through the PCA method, each variation of bacterial treatment can be classified. The result of the cumulative percentage variance of the two main components (PC) in the classification test between Salmonella typhi, tuna, and tuna with Salmonella typhi bacteria contamination was 90.5%. The most influential sensors in this study are TGS 825 for PC1 with a loading value of 0.625 and TGS 826 for PC2 with a loading value of -0.753. Therefore, it can be concluded that an electronic nose can classify between pure tuna and tuna contaminated with Salmonella typhi bacteria.","PeriodicalId":13538,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42696989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
