Abstract: Pediculosis capitis is an infection of the skin and hair caused by Pediculus humanus var capitis. This disease mainly attacks young children and spreads quickly in a crowded environment and poor hygiene condition. Transmission are mainly through direct contact head-to-head or indirectly such as combs, hair accessories, pillows, veils, etc. Transmission is increasing with several factors inter alia age, sex, frequency of washing hair, sharing towels, beds as well as goods. This study was aimed to assess the relationship between head hygiene and pediculosis capitis among children fostered in Komunitas Dinding at Pasar Bersehati Manado. This was an analytical and observational study with a cross sectional design. Subjects consisted of 30 children, aged 5-15 years, and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed by using the chi-square test. The results showed that of 30 subjects, 18 children (60%) had pediculosis capitis. The chi-square test showed that washing hair with shampoo per week (p=0.100), sharing towels (p=0.618), and sharing beds (p=0.177) did not have significant relationships with pediculosis capitis meanwhile sharing goods (p=0.002) had a significant relationship with pediculosis capitis. In conclusion, there was a relationship between sharing goods and pediculosis capitis among children fostered in Komunitas Dinding at Pasar Bersehati Manado.Keywords: pediculosis capitis, children, scalp hygiene Abstrak: Pedikulosis kapitis merupakan infeksi kulit dan rambut kepala yang disebabkan oleh Pediculus humanus var capitis.

BACKGROUND: Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infection is an infectious disease that has a high prevalence with unclear clinical symptoms and predominantly affects children in the age range of 5–14 years. AIM: This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors for STH infections in elementary school students in an STH endemic area. METHODS: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design with a total sampling method. Risk factors were obtained by a questionnaire, and the diagnosis of STH infection was established through a fecal examination with the modified Kato-Katz method. The data are then processed and analyzed using the SPSS application. Chi-square test and risk assessment are used to determine risk factors for STH infection. RESULTS: A total of 138 children participated in this study. The prevalence of STH infections obtained was 56.5% with Trichuris trichiura (53.8%), Ascaris lumbricoides (18%), and both (28.2%) as etiology. The degree of STH infection varies from mild-to-severe. All risk factors related to hygiene and sanitation have a statistically significant relationship with the prevalence of STH infections. Eating while playing on the ground was the most influential risk factor for the high prevalence of STH infections (p <0.001, PR = 2.611, CI 95% = 1.961–3.477). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of STH infections in elementary schoolchildren in Tenganan village was 56.5%. Low personal hygiene and sanitation are risk factors for STH infection that can be overcome; therefore, it is necessary to introduce early prevention efforts in elementary schoolchildren as one risk group for STH infection.

Background. Transfusion associated bacterial infection has remained more frequent with a sever risk of morbidity and mortality. This study assessed the bacteriological safety of blood collected for transfusion. Method. A cross-sectional study was conducted at University of Gondar hospital blood bank from December 2011 to June 2012. Bacterial isolation, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done as per the standard procedure. Chi-square test and P value were used to assess associations between risk factors and the bacterial isolation rate. Results. Twenty-one (15.33%) blood units were found contaminated with bacteria, and 95.24% contamination was due to external sources. The commonly isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Streptococci species, Enterobacter species, and Citrobacter species. All of the bacteria isolated were 100% sensitive to Gentamicin, Chloramphenicol, Amoxicillin, and Doxycycline. Multiple antimicrobial resistances were observed in 66.7% of the isolates. Not using glove by phlebotomist, touching disinfected phlebotomy site and double puncture at the same hand or both hands of a donor were found to be risk factors for bacterial contamination. Conclusion. Bacterial contamination of blood to be transfused is a common problem in the hospital. So attention should be given to activities performed at the blood bank for safe transfusion practices.
