Published: June 2023

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Malaysian pilgrims attending the Hajj every year. This study aimed to determine risk factors associated with CAP in Malaysians attending the Hajj. We conducted an unmatched case-control study at a Malaysian hospital in Mecca from September 2012 to January 2013, during the Hajj season. Individuals who met the definition of CAP were selected as cases. Controls were randomly selected among Malaysian pilgrims staying in the same accommodation as the cases, and followed up two weeks after returning to Malaysia. Information on risk factors was gathered using a structured questionnaire, and the strength of association was assessed using adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) through a multiple logistic regression model. The study identified 108 cases and 673 unmatched controls.  Among cases, 57.4% were males and 98.1% were aged more than 50 years. CAP was significantly associated with drinking over three liters of water daily (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.9-0.4), taking multivitamins (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.9-0.5), age 60 years or more (AOR = 20.2, 95% CI = 10.6-38.3), asthma/chronic obstructive airway disease (AOR = 5.9, 95% CI = 2.4-14.7) and congestive cardiac failure (AOR = 5.4, 95% CI = 2.0-14.7). Determining potentially preventable risk factors for CAP could help to inform public health programs for future Hajj pilgrims and might potentially reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.

On 4 Sep 2017, the Bureau of Epidemiology received a notification from Tak Provincial Health Office on an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) at a nursery following one death at the provincial hospital. An investigation was carried out to confirm the diagnosis and identify source of infection. Active case finding was performed in the nursery, index case’s house and community. Medical records were reviewed, and children, teachers and household members of the index case were interviewed. Confirmed cases were defined as children or teachers in the nursery, household members and neighbors of the index case who was found to have enterovirus from fresh stool or nasopharyngeal/throat swab by polymerase chain reaction. Total 30 cases were identified, including nine confirmed, one probable (index case) and 20 suspected cases. The overall attack rate was 51.7% and case fatality proportion was 3.3%. There were 26% of enterovirus 71, 13% of coxsackie B4 identified from fresh stool samples of symptomatic cases. Neither samples from asymptomatic close contact or nasopharyngeal/throat swab was positive. No residual chlorine in the supplied water at the nursery was detected. We recommended hand washing with soap, wash the toys more than once a week, chlorinate the water to more than 0.5 ppm and increase awareness of enterovirus infection to early detect the outbreak.

An outbreak of febrile illness associated with maculopapular rash was reported in a boarding school from 9-17 Apr 2007. An investigation was initiated to confirm the outbreak, determine the etiologic agent and mode of transmission and institute public health actions. Information on clinical data and vaccination status were collected through case finding among students and staff of the school. Those people with maculopapular rash associated with fever from 19 Mar to 2 Apr 2007 were defined as case and blood serology for measles and rubella were sent to the national reference laboratory for confirmation. Eighty nine cases were identified out of which 72% were males. Eighty-eight percents presented with low grade fever, 34% with mild upper respiratory infection, 25% with neck lymphadenopathy and 14% with conjunctivitis. 46% were positive for IgM rubella with males significantly more than females (p<0.001). All males did not have rubella immunization. Rubella was confirmed as the cause of outbreak and cases were treated symptomatically and isolated for seven days from onset of rash. Health education on self hygiene and possible risk to pregnant woman was given to students and staff. Rubella vaccination status of students entering boarding school was recommended irrespective of gender.

On 18 Dec 2009, the Bureau of Epidemiology was notified that 20 students from a private kindergarten school were treated for vomiting and diarrhea. An investigation was conducted to verify the diagnosis, identify source of the outbreak, and implement prevention and control measures. We conducted a descriptive and retrospective cohort study. Medical records at the hospital were reviewed. We also interviewed students, teachers and cooks at the school. A case was a student in this school who developed vomiting with at least one of the followings: fever, diarrhea or abdominal pain from 18 to 22 Dec 2009. Twenty three clinical specimens (vomitus and rectal swabs) and food samples were collected, and sent to National Institute of Health for bacterial culture. Logistic regression was used to determine the food items associated with illness. Symptoms included vomiting (100%), abdominal pain (59%), diarrhea (31%) and fever (26%). Bacillus cereus was isolated from three out of six vomitus specimens as well as the sweet stewed egg and pork served for school lunch on 18 Dec 2009. Thus, this outbreak was due to Bacillus cereus (emetic form) and the common source was likely to be the sweet stewed egg and pork (adjusted OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.0-4.4). To prevent similar outbreaks in the future, people involved in food preparation and serving should emphasize on personal hygiene and sanitary food handling practices. School administrators should exclude symptomatic cooks and food handlers from cooking.

In March 2011, public fear on health risk of rabid dog meat consumption was emerged in Nakhon Phanom Province. Investigation was conducted to identify extent of exposure and recommendation for rabies prevention. We surveyed in affected villages to find out rabies cases and exposed contacts among dogs, cats and humans. Persons who had contacted with the rabid dog, its carcass or meat were interviewed about their contacts, knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards rabies. The survey revealed that three owned dogs had been bitten by the rabid dog and 58 persons contacted it. Among the contact persons, 11.3% (bitten by the rabid dog, contact with carcass or saliva, butchered or cooked) and 19.0% (contacted dogs bitten by the rabid dog) fit in the WHO criteria as exposed and possible exposed persons respectively. Thirty two persons who ate well cooked meat of the rabid dog were classified as non-exposed persons. One third of the contact persons did not know about rabies. Persons who ate rabid dog meat had less knowledge on rabies reservoir and transmission compared with those did not eat (P-value <0.05). Contact persons and dogs were provided with post-exposure vaccination; none of them developed rabies. Several types of exposure, except ingesting well cooked meat, posed risk of rabies and local public should be educated about these for better personal protective practices.

Oseltamivir is often prescribed to treat influenza patients, yet its effect on viral shedding among Thai young adults infected with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus remained unclear. During May to June 2011, an influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 outbreak was detected in University S, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. A prospective observational study was conducted to define duration of viral shedding and immunologic response in infected students undergoing oseltamivir treatment, and identify factors associated with viral shedding. We enrolled all acute respiratory illness (ARI) patients attending the medical center at University S during 3-7 Jun 2011 with laboratory confirmation of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). Additional throat swabs were collected and tested daily until rRT-PCR results became negative through two consecutive days. Series of serum samples for hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test were also collected from the individuals. Log-rank test was applied in analysis of association between patients’ characteristics and duration of viral shedding. Of 29 sick students enrolled, 45% were males. All were prescribed oseltamivir for five days and none of them were hospitalized. Median duration from onset of symptoms to the last day of viral shedding detected was five days (range 3-9 days). Over 80% of the patients had 4-fold rises of HI titer within 2-3 weeks after onset of symptoms. None of the patients’ characteristics were significantly associated with duration of viral shedding. However, persons with delayed antiviral treatment tended to have longer duration of viral shedding. Early oseltamivir treatment probably reduced risks of severe influenza in young adult patients. However, guidelines on infection control need to emphasize on strict hygiene and prevention measures in treated patients for nine days in order to minimize the risks of influenza transmission.

Published: June 2023

This study aimed to describe the factors associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Bhutan. The study covered all MDR-TB patients admitted to Gidhakom Hospital, Thimphu from August 2011 to July 2012. Data were collected from MDR-TB registers, laboratory registers and inpatient records as well as from interview with patients about demographic characteristics, history of previous anti-TB treatment, compliance and contact history. There were total 19 MDR-TB patients. Majority of the patients were males (63%). Median age was 25 years for males and 30 years for females. Of the 19 cases, 47% and 37% had contacted with TB case and MDR-TB case in the same house respectively. About 74% reported previous history of anti-TB treatment. Among those with previous treatment, 79% did not comply with the directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS). It was found that 20% of new cases and 50% of previously treated persons were resistant to four first-line drugs. In conclusion, previous anti-TB treatment, non-compliance to DOTS and contact with MDR-TB were observed in majority of the cases. We highlighted the importance of early detection of MDR-TB, providing health education on prevention of disease transmission and strengthening DOTS policy. Investigation on household contacts should be given priority to identify and control the spread of TB.

Published: June 2023

Exposures to multiple environmental contaminants place children under five years of age at a greater risk to acute diarrhea and acute respiratory tract infections (ARI). To assess this phenomenon, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to examine relationships between environmental conditions and occurrence of acute diarrhea and ARI in peri-urban areas of Yangon Region, Myanmar. Mothers or caretakers of 620 children under five years were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Of these children, 1.0% had acute diarrhea, 45% had ARI and 3.7% had both conditions during last four weeks. Children aged 24-59 months (OR=2.1, 95% CI=0.7-6.5) were more likely to suffer from acute diarrhea and ARI than infants. Bivariate analyses revealed significant associations between attack rate of acute diarrhea and living in a bamboo house, storage of drinking water in a clay pot, using a cloth filter for drinking water and unsafe method of garbage disposal. In addition, significant associations were identified between ARI attack rate and presence of smoke around the house. Multivariate analyses also identified significantly association for acute diarrhea and living in a bamboo house and unsafe waste disposal. Integrated community-based strategies on environmental conditions, water, sanitation and hygiene could reduce the dual burden of these illnesses in children under five years of age.

Published: June 2023

During 9-20 Nov 2011, four prisoners in the national prison died with unknown cause and many prisoners developed diarrhea and neuropathy. The Bureau of Epidemiology launched an investigation to identify etiology and source of outbreak, and implement control measures. A case was defined as a prisoner or guard who developed gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms or neurological symptoms during 1 Sep to 31 Dec 2011. Foods, water, blood and urine samples were tested for heavy metals, vitamins B1 and B12. The prison had 33 guards, 3,668 male prisoners and 555 female prisoners. Among 475 prisoners who met the case definition, 307 (64.6%) GI cases, 49 (10.3%) neurological cases and 119 (25.1%) cases with both GI and neurological symptoms were identified. No case was found among the guards. Attack rates among male and female prisoners were 12.6% (462/3,668) and 2.3% (13/555) respectively. No female prisoners developed neuropathy. Eleven male prisoners had severe distal symmetrical peripheral neuropathy. Four men aged 26-47 years died after developing acute dyspnea. The cases rapidly increased after pipeline of the prison damaged on 2 Nov 2011. Blood and urine samples illustrated vitamin B1 deficiency and high arsenic concentration respectively. This outbreak of peripheral neuropathy possibly resulted from arsenic contaminated drinking water. After providing clean water on 24 Nov 2011, the outbreak subsided within 10 days.

Published: June 2023

Occupational injuries are important health problems in Thailand and cause significant health impacts on workers, in addition to economic loss. Data was obtained and analyzed from National Injury Surveillance (NIS) System for describing epidemiology of agricultural injuries and from Workmen's Compensation Fund (WCF) statistics for identifying trends and characteristics of injuries and deaths in industrial and business workers during the period of 2002-2010. Results from NIS showed that 17,481 agricultural injuries were reported and accounted for 16.9% of all injuries, with 96 deaths (case fatality rate of 0.5 per 100 workers). Leading causes of occupational injuries were struck by thrown or falling object, fall from height and contact with agricultural machinery. Most cases occurred in the afternoon during 1-6 pm (44.2%). The WCF statistics revealed that rates of injuries among industrial workers had decreased from 31.4 per 1,000 workers in 2002 to 16.5 per 1,000 workers in 2010. Young workers aged 20-29 years old (46.4%) were more likely to get injured and die than that of other age groups. Puncture and penetrating wounds were the most common injuries (41.0-43.9%). Leading causes of deaths were vehicle accident, fall from height and unintentional electrocution. The outcomes of this study could be used to develop guideline and strategy on surveillance system and prevention of occupational injuries in Thailand.

On 7 Feb 2013, the National Epidemiology Center in the Philippines Department of Health received a report on increasing number of leptospirosis cases in Davao City after the monsoon flooding. Leptospirosis has been endemic in Davao City and a leptospirosis outbreak occurred in 2011 after a flashflood in the city. Objectives of our investigation were to determine existence of the outbreak, identify source and mode of transmission, and find out risk factors. We reviewed medical records of local hospitals and conducted active case finding in the affected communities. A suspect leptospirosis case was a resident in one of nine flooded districts of Davao City who had fever for two days or more and any of the following: myalgia, conjunctival suffusion, jaundice, anuria/oliguria, hematuria or calf pain from 6 Jan to 15 Feb 2013. Serum samples were collected for laboratory confirmation by microscopic agglutination test and polymerase chain reaction. Key informants were also interviewed. Total 64 suspect leptospirosis cases with six deaths (CFR = 9.4%) were identified. Ages ranged from 14-73 years (median = 33 years), with 86% as males. Among 42 cases, 64% were positive for leptospira spp. Majority of the cases (82%) waded in the flood without any post-exposure prophylaxis and 63% had open wounds on lower extremities when exposed to floodwater. The most affected age group was 21-30 years old (33%). The case-control study showed that wading in floodwater (OR = 11, 95% CI = 1.45-458.37), swimming in floodwater (OR = 3, 95% CI = 1.31-8.00), having contact with moist soil (OR = 3, 95% CI = 1.13-6.49) and having open wounds (OR = 11, 95% CI = 3.61-36.63) were risk factors. Therefore, it was confirmed that there was a resurgence of leptospirosis in Davao City. Intensive health education activities, emphasizing protective clothing and prophylactic treatment might reduce risk for leptospirosis and future outbreaks.

We conducted a serological survey to evaluate the population’s antibody level against three types of polio virus and identify high risk groups. We analyzed stored serum samples from a hepatitis immunity study conducted in 2004 on people born between 1928 and 2004. These samples were categorized into nine age cohorts and selected by random sampling. Antibody titers were tested by micro-neutralization. A protective level was defined as greater than 1:8. Protective antibody level against poliovirus and geometric mean titer (log2 reciprocal) were described by types of polio virus in the vaccine and birth cohorts. A total of 1,712 samples were tested. Protective antibody level against poliovirus type 1 was 90.9% while that of type 2 was 94.7% and type 3 was 83.9%. Means titers were 6.0 for type 1, 6.7 for type 2 and 4.9 for type 3. In the different birth cohorts, the antibody levels were the lowest against poliovirus type 2 (89.9%) in those who were born during 1955-1964. For poliovirus types 1 and 3, percentages in the 1975-1984 birth cohorts were less than 80%. Protective antibody level against the three types of poliovirus among the population in Thailand was assumed to be sufficient to generate herd immunity. People born during 1975-1984 were at risk and should be targeted for immunization if a polio outbreak occurred.

Sampah diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang tidak digunakan, tidak disenangi, atau sesuatu yang dibuang, yang berasal dari kegiatan manusia dan tidak terjadi dengan sendirinya. Penyakit akibat sampah sangat luas, dan dapat berupa penyakit menular dan tidak menular. Salah satu penyakit akibat sampah adalah penyakit kulit yang disebabkan beberapa jenis jamur mikroorganisme patogen yang hidup dan berkembang biak didalam sampah. Penyakit kulit merupakan penyakit pada bagian tubuh paling luar dengan gejala berupa gatal-gatal dan bintik-bintik merah yang disebabkan oleh berbagai macam penyebab misalnya sinar matahari, jamur, mikroorganisme, faktor kebersihan diri dan lain-lain. Dilihat dari sudut pandang kesehatan, pengumpul sampah memiliki risiko yang sangat tinggi untuk terkena penyakit kulit, karena pengumpul sampah bekerja di lingkungan yang tidak kondusif. Tujuanpelatihan ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan personal hygiene dan penggunaan APD dengan kejadian penyakit kulit pada petugas pengumpul sampah rumah tangga. Populasi dalam pelatihan ini adalah seluruh petugas pengumpul sampah rumah tangga yang berada di kecamatan Tanjung Priok, sampel pelatihan berjumlah 50 orang. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Chi square, hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara personal hygiene dan penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD) dengan kejadian penyakit kulit pada petugas pengumpul sampah rumah tangga di Kecamatan Tanjung Priok. Yaitu hubungan personal hygiene dengan kejadian penyakit kulit didapatkan hasil p= 0,002, dan hubungan penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) dengan kejadian penyakit kulit didapatkan hasil p= 0,000. Diharapkan dengan meningkatnya personal hygiene dan penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) pada petugas pengumpul sampah akan mengurangi angka penyakit kulit dan memotivasi petugas pengumpul sampah untuk meningkatkan personal hygiene mereka supaya menjadi lebih baik lagi.

Muntuk Village is located in Dlingo District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Muntuk Village is located in the east of Bantul City. Meanwhile, most of the residents of Dusun Muntuk work as day laborers, farmers, gardeners, wood and bamboo craftsmen. The majority of the population of Muntuk Hamlet work as wood craftsmen (furniture) and bamboo (woven) craftsmen. However, there are also those who work as farmers and traders, but that is only a side job because their main job is wood and bamboo craftsman. The people of Muntuk Village, the majority of whom work as wood craftsmen (meuble) and bamboo craftsmen (anyman) have problems, namely the lack of knowledge and understanding and access to promote these handicraft products using social media, resulting in less than optimal sales and the community's income does not develop. To overcome this, the local government can increase the entrepreneurial potential of the Muntuk Village community through micro and cultural policies, providing facilities, providing education and knowledge to the community in collaboration with surrounding campuses.
