INTRODUCTION OF BLOCK INFECTION AND INFECTIOUS
DISEASE
Abstract
Infections and infectious diseases are a great burden on many societies, including
Indonesia. To reduce that burden an integrated approach is required, combining
health promotion, disease prevention and patient treatment. The prerequisite for
success in this fight is the participation of all health care professionals. Should know
and understand terminology commonly use in the context of infectious disease.
Infectious diseases are disorders or diseases caused by organisms such as
bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies.
They're normally harmless or even helpful, which we called them normal flora; but
under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease. This organisms
called as pathogen as they can produced pathology to the body.
Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Infectious
diseases can be spread directly or indirectly. Some infectious diseases can be
passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by bites from insects or
animals. And others are acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water or being
exposed to organisms in the environment.
Many infectious diseases become difficult to control if the infectious agents evolve
resistance to commonly used drugs: For example, bacteria can accumulate
mutations in their DNA or acquire new genes that allow them to survive contact with
antibiotic drugs that would normally kill them.
Signs and symptoms vary depending on the organism causing the infection, but
often include fever and fatigue. Mild infections may respond to rest and home
remedies, while some life-threatening infections may require hospitalization.
Many infectious diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, can be prevented by
vaccines but many other still do not have vaccine available. Other prevention mean
such as frequent and thorough hand-washing helps protect from most infectious
diseases.
Symptoms
Each infectious disease has its own specific signs and symptoms. General signs
and symptoms common to a number of infectious diseases include: fever, fatigue,
muscle aches, coughing and diarrhea
Transmission: an infection can be spread through direct and indirect contact
Direct contact
An easy way to catch most infectious diseases is by coming in contact with a person
or animal who has the infection. Three ways infectious diseases can be spread
through direct contact are:
Person to person. A common way for infectious diseases to spread is through the
direct transfer of bacteria, viruses or other germs from one person to another. This
can occur when an individual with the bacterium or virus touches, kisses, or coughs
or sneezes on someone who isn't infected. These germs can also spread through
the exchange of body fluids from sexual contact. The person who passes the germ
may have no symptoms of the disease, but may simply be a carrier.
Animal to person. Being bitten or scratched by an infected animal even a pet
can make you sick and, in extreme circumstances, can be fatal. Handling animal
waste can be hazardous, too. For example, you can acquire a toxoplasmosis
infection by scooping your cat's litter box.
Mother to unborn baby. A pregnant woman may pass germs that cause infectious
diseases to her unborn baby. Some germs can pass through the placenta. Germs in
the vagina can be transmitted to the baby during birth.
Indirect contact
Touching: Disease-causing organisms also can be passed by indirect contact.
Many germs can linger on an inanimate object, such as a tabletop, doorknob or
faucet handle. When you touch a doorknob handled by someone ill with the flu or a
cold, for example, you can pick up the germs he or she left behind. If you then touch
your eyes, mouth or nose before washing your hands, you may become infected.
Vectors/insect bites - Some germs rely on insect carriers such as mosquitoes,
fleas, lice or ticks to move from host to host. These carriers are known as
vectors. Mosquitoes can carry the malaria parasite or West Nile virus, and deer ticks
may carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.
Food/water contamination : disease-causing germs can infect you is through
contaminated food and water. This mechanism of transmission allows germs to be
spread to many people through a single source. E. coli, for example, is a bacterium
present in or on certain foods such as undercooked hamburger or unpasteurized
fruit juice.
Risk factors
Anyone can catch infectious diseases easier than other people because the body
immune system is not work well. This may occur if there are primary or secondary
immune deficiency , such as : Taking steroids or other medications that suppress
immune system, such as anti-rejection drugs for a transplanted organ, certain types
of cancer or other disorders that affect the immune system, infection by HIV or
AIDS. In addition, certain other medical conditions may predispose you to infection,
including implanted medical devices, malnutrition and extremes of age, among
others.
Complications
Most infectious diseases have only minor complications. But some infections
such as pneumonia, AIDS and meningitis can become life-threatening. A few
types of infections have been linked to a long-term increased risk of cancer:
hepatitis B and C have been linked to liver cancer, human papillomavirus is linked to
cervical cancer, Helicobacter pylori is linked to stomach cancer and peptic ulcers
and In addition, some infectious diseases may become silent, only to appear again
in the future sometimes even decades later. For example, someone who's had a
chickenpox infection may develop shingles much later in life.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis can be made with clinical symptoms and signs. Because many of
infectious disease have a very similar symptoms and signs, usually laboratory or
imaging test would be needed to confirmed the diagnosis
Laboratory tests
Many infectious diseases have similar signs and symptoms. Samples of body fluids
can sometimes reveal evidence of the particular microbe that's causing illness.
Samples can get from blood, urine, throat swabs, stool sample, spinal tap (lumbar
puncture). A technician obtains a sample with a standard procedure from each.
Imaging scans
Imaging procedures such as X-rays, computerized tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging can help pinpoint diagnoses and rule out other conditions that
may be causing the symptoms.
Biopsies
During a biopsy, a tiny sample of tissue is taken from an internal organ for testing.
For example, a biopsy of lung tissue can be checked for a variety of fungi that can
cause a type of pneumonia.
Treatment
Knowing what type of germ is causing the illness makes it easier to choose
appropriate treatment such as : antibiotics, anti viral, anti fungal, and anti-
parasitics.
However, the use of those agents should be use appropriately. The overuse of
antibiotics has resulted in several types of bacteria developing resistance to one or
more varieties of antibiotics. This makes these bacteria much more difficult to treat
As an alternative medicine, a number of products have been purported to help fend
off common illnesses, such as the cold or flu. Cranberry, echinacea, garlic, ginseng,
vitamin C, D and zinc are among other. While some of these substances have
appeared promising in early trials, follow-up studies may have had negative or
inconclusive results. More research needs to be done.
Prevention
Infectious diseases can be prevented by vaccines but many other still do not have
vaccine available. Prevention to infectious disease transmission with no vaccine
available should use another approach. Personal protected equipment such as
gown, masker, google, gloves, and shoes boot. Infectious disease transmitted by
vectors should avoid to being bitten by mosquitoes or other insects may be useful,
such as wearing long sleeve shirt, and putting mosquitos repellent. Other
prevention means such as frequent and thorough hand-washing helps protect
from most infectious diseases.
Learning tasks:
1. How do we know that a patient in our hospital is suffering from a kind of
infectious disease?
2. How he or she can get it?
3. What prevention do we need to do to avoid of getting any infectious
diseases?
Self assessment:
1. Describe all common terminology use in the context of infectious diseases.
2. Describe general clinical manifestation of infectious diseases.
3. Describe pathogenesis of general symptoms of infectious disease.

MALARIA
Abstract
Malaria is caused by infection of red blood cells with protozoan parasites of
the genus Plasmodium inoculated into the human host by a feeding female
anopheline mosquito. The five human Plasmodium species transmitted from person
to person are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. Ovale (two species), P. Malariae and
P. Knowlesi. The first symptoms of malaria are nonspecific and similar to those of a
minor systemic viral illness. They comprise headache, lassitude, fatigue, abdominal
discomfort and muscle and joint aches, usually followed by fever, chills, perspiration,
anorexia, vomiting and worsening malaise. Disease progression to severe malaria
may take days but can occur within a few hours. Severe malaria usually manifests
with one or more of the following: coma (cerebral malaria), metabolic acidosis,
severe anaemia, hypoglycaemia, acute renal failure or acute pulmonary oedema. If
left untreated, severe malaria is fatal in the majority of cases. All patients with
suspected malaria should be treated on the basis of a confirmed diagnosis by
microscopy examination or RDT testing of a blood sample. Management of
uncomplicated malaria using ACT (Artemisinine Combination Therapy) for 3 days
but severe malaria must treated with anti malaria intravenous (artesunate).

DENGUE FEVER, DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER, DENGUE
SHOCK SYNDROME
ABSTRACT
Dengue is mosquito borne viral infection, which causing acute fever and
occasionally develops into potential lethal complication. Dengue virus is transmitted
by female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser
extent, Ae. albopictus. This mosquito also transmits Chikungunya, Yellow Fever and
Zika infection. About half of world population were at risk, Dengue is widespread
throughout the tropics, with local variations in risk influenced by rainfall, temperature
and unplanned rapid urbanization.
There are 4 distinct, but closely related, serotypes of the virus that can cause
dengue (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4). Recovery from infection by one
provides lifelong immunity against the particular serotype with partial and temporary
cross-immunity to the other serotypes after recovery. Subsequent infections by other
serotypes increase the risk of developing severe dengue.
Dengue should be suspected when a high fever is present, accompanied by
2 of the following symptoms: severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and
joint pains, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands or rash. Symptoms usually last for 27
days, after an incubation period of 4 5 days (range 3 14 days) after the bite from
an infected mosquito. Severe dengue is a potentially deadly complication due to
plasma leakage, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding, or organ
impairment. Warning signs occur 37 days after the first symptoms in conjunction
with a decrease in temperature and include: severe abdominal pain, persistent
vomiting, and rapid breathing, bleeding gums, fatigue, restlessness and blood in
vomit. The next 2448 hours of the critical stage can be lethal; proper medical care
is needed to avoid complications and risk of death.
For the purpose of clinical management, WHO classifies dengue illness as (i)
dengue with or without warning signs for progression towards severe dengue and (ii)
severe dengue. Warning signs of severe dengue include abdominal pain or
tenderness, persistent vomiting, clinical fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding,
lethargy or restlessness, liver enlargement of >2 cm, or an increase in Hematocrit
concurrent with a rapid decrease in platelet count. Criteria for severe dengue include
any sign of severe plasma leakage leading to shock or fluid accumulation with
respiratory distress, severe bleeding, or severe organ impairment.
There is no specific treatment for dengue, maintenance of the patients body
fluid volume is critical in management of severe dengue. Vaccine for prevention is
now commercially available, Dengvaxia (CYD TDV) for use in individual age 9
45 years living in area with high burden of disease.
LEARNING TASK

HOST RESPONSE TO INFECTION
Abstract
Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Many
infectious diseases become difficult to control if the infectious agents evolve
resistance to commonly used drugs, for example, bacteria can accumulate
mutations in their DNA or acquire new genes that allow them to survive contact with
antibiotic drugs that would normally kill them. Scientists are currently searching for
new approaches to treat infectious diseases, focusing on exactly how the pathogens
change and drug resistance evolves. Understanding and comprehend the host
response to infection is important.
Infection process
After invading the body, microorganisms must multiply to cause infection. After
multiplication begins, one of three things can happen:
1. Microorganisms continue to multiply and overwhelm the bodys defenses.
2. A state of balance is achieved, causing chronic infection.
3. The bodywith or without medical treatmentdestroys and eliminates the
invading microorganism.
Defenses Against Infection
Host defenses that protect against infection :
Natural barriers (eg, skin, mucous membranes)
Nonspecific immune responses (eg, phagocytic cells [neutrophils,
macrophages] and their products)
Specific immune responses (eg, antibodies, lymphocytes)
Nonspecific Immune Responses
Cytokines (including IL-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-
gamma) are produced principally by macrophages and activated lymphocytes
and mediate an acute-phase response that develops regardless of the
inciting microorganism.
The response involves fever and increased production of neutrophils by the
bone marrow. Endothelial cells also produce large amounts of IL-8, which
attracts neutrophils.
The inflammatory response directs immune system components to injury or
infection sites and is manifested by increased blood supply and vascular
permeability, which allows chemotactic peptides, neutrophils, and
mononuclear cells to leave the intravascular compartment.
Specific Immune Responses
After infection, the host can produce a variety of antibodies (complex
glycoproteins known as immunoglobulins) that bind to specific microbial
antigenic targets. Antibodies can help eradicate the infecting organism by
attracting the hosts WBCs and activating the complement system.
The complement system destroys cell walls of infecting organisms, usually
through the classical pathway. Complement can also be activated on the
surface of some microorganisms via the alternative pathway.
Antibodies can also promote the deposition of substances known as opsonins
(eg, the complement protein C3b) on the surface of microorganisms, which
helps promote phagocytosis. Opsonization is important for eradication of
encapsulated organisms such as pneumococci and meningococci.
Interaction between host and the microbes are depend on factors from the host,
the microbes and environment
Host Genetic Factors
For many pathogens, the host's genetic make-up influences the host's
susceptibility and the resulting morbidity and mortality. For example, patients
who have deficiencies of the terminal complement components (C5 through
C8, perhaps C9) have an increased susceptibility to infections caused by
neisserial species.
Factors Facilitating Microbial Invasion
Microbial invasion can be facilitated by the
following:
Virulence factors
Microbial adherence, biofilm
Resistance to antimicrobials
Defects in host defense mechanisms
Defects in Host Defense Mechanisms
Two types of immune deficiency states affect the hosts ability to fight infection:
Primary immune deficiency : are genetic in origin; > 100 primary immune
deficiency states have been described. Most primary immune deficiencies are
recognized during infancy; however, up to 40% are recognized during
adolescence or adulthood.
Secondary (acquired) immune deficiency : are caused by another disease
(eg, cancer, HIV infection, chronic disease) or by exposure to a chemical or
drug that is toxic to the immune system.
Most infections increase the pulse rate and body temperature, but others (eg,
typhoid fever, tularemia, brucellosis, dengue) may not elevate the pulse rate
commensurate with the degree of fever.
Hypotension can result from hypovolemia, septic shock, or toxic shock.
Hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis are common.
Alterations in sensorium (encephalopathy) may occur in severe infection
regardless of whether CNS infection is present. Encephalopathy is most
common and serious in the elderly and may cause anxiety, confusion,
delirium, stupor, seizures, and coma.
Infectious diseases commonly increase the numbers of mature and immature
circulating neutrophils. Mechanisms include demargination and release of
immature granulocytes from bone marrow, IL-1- and IL-6-mediated release of
neutrophils from bone marrow, and colony-stimulating factors elaborated by
macrophages, lymphocytes, and other tissues. Exaggeration of these
phenomena (eg, in trauma, inflammation, and similar stresses) can result in
release of excessive numbers of immature leukocytes into the circulation
(leukemoid reaction), with leukocyte counts up to 25 to 30 10 9/L.
Conversely, some infections (eg, typhoid fever, brucellosis) commonly cause
leukopenia. In overwhelming, severe infections, profound leukopenia is often
a poor prognostic sign.
Characteristic morphologic changes in the neutrophils of septic patients
include Dhle bodies, toxic granulations, and vacuolization.
Anemia can develop despite adequate tissue iron stores. If anemia is chronic,
plasma iron and total iron-binding capacity may be decreased. Serious
infection may cause thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular
coagulation (DIC).
Learning Tasks:

Abstract
Diphtheria is a preventable acute disease caused by Corynebacterium Diphtheria.
Diphtheria is acquired by contact with ill person with the disease or with an
asymptomatic carrier of organism. The incidence increase among school age
children during the first few month of the school year has been reported. Diphtheria
usually develops after a short incubation period of 2 days with a range of 1 to 5
days. For clinical purposes, the disease my be classified by the anatomic location as
a nasal diphtheria, tonsilar and pharyngeal diphtheria, laryngeal diphtheria,
cutaneus diphtheria and unusual type of diphtheria. The diagnosis of diphtheria is
confirmed by the demonstration of diphtheria bacilli cultured from material obtained
from the site of infection. Diphtheria antitoxin must be given promptly and in
adequate dosage. Penicillin and erythromycin are effective against most strains of
diphtheria bacilli.
Supportive therapy is needed for several cases and complication.

Abstract
Tetanus is an acute, spastic paralytic illness caused by tetanus toxin; the neurotoxin
produced by Clostridium Tetani. Tetanus occurs after induced spores germinate,
multiply and produce tetanus toxin at infected injury site. Tetanus toxin binds at the
neuromuscular junction and enter the motor nerve by endocytosis.
Clinical manifestation of tetanus is trismus, headache, restlessness, often followed
by stiffness, difficulty chewing, dysphagia and neck muscle spasm. Because tetanus
toxin does not affect sensory nerve, the patient remains conscious. The seizures are

Abstract
Avian influenza (AI) is an infectious disease of birds by type A strain of the influenza
virus. Mutation and reassortment (antigenic drift, antigenic shift) event are
commonly observed in the affected birds populations. Since 2003, the widespread
ongoing epizootic of AI A (H5N1) among poultry and birds has resulted in human
H5N1 cases in 10 countries. The first cases of H5N1 virus infection in Indonesia was
identified in July 2005. The reported symptoms of AI in humans have range from
typical influenza like symptoms (eq, fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches) to
eye infections (conjunctivitis), pneumonia, and other severe and live threatening
complication. Patient was diagnosed confirmed case when we found positive viral
culture for influenza A (H5N1) or positive for influenza (H5) or a four fold rise in H5

Introduction
Infections have historically been a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and
mortality worldwide, and they remain so in the 21st century. The unique maternal-
fetal vascular connection in some cases serves to protect the fetus from infectious
agents, whereas in other instances it provides a conduit for their transmission to the
fetus.Maternal serological status,gestational age at the time infection is acquired,
the mode ofacquisition, and the immunological status of both the motherand her
fetus all influence disease outcome.
Toxoplasmosis
The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii has a lifecycle with two distinct
stages. The feline stage takesplace in the catthe definitive hostand its prey.
Unsporulatedoocysts are secreted in feces. In the non-feline stage, tissue
cystscontaining bradyzoites or oocysts are ingested by the intermediatehost,
including humans.Human infection is acquired by eating raw or undercookedmeat
infected with tissue cysts or by contact with oocysts fromcat feces in contaminated
litter, soil, or water. Prior infection isconfirmed by serological testing, and its
prevalence depends ongeographic locale and parasite genotype.
Most acute maternal infections are subclinical and are detected only by prenatal or
newbornserological screening. In some cases, maternal symptoms mayinclude
fatigue, fever, headache, muscle pain, and sometimes amaculopapular rash and
posterior cervical lymphadenopathy.The incidence and severity of fetal
toxoplasmosis infectiondepend on gestational age at the time of maternal infection.
Risksfor fetal infection increase with pregnancy duration A metaanalysis estimated
the risk to be 15 percent at 13 weeks,44 percent at 26 weeks, and 71 percent at 36
weeks. Conversely, the severity of fetal infectionis much greater in early pregnancy,
and these fetuses are muchmore likely to have clinical findings of infection.
No randomized clinical trials have been performed to assessthe benefit and efficacy
of treatment to decrease the risk forcongenital infection. A systematic review of data
from 1.438treated pregnancies found weak evidence for early treatmentto reduce
Parvovirus
Human parvovirus B19 causes erythema infectiosum, or fifthdisease. The B19 virus
is a small, single-stranded DNA virusthat replicates in rapidly proliferating cells such
as erythroblast precursors. This can lead to anemia, which isits primary fetal effect.
Only individuals with the erythrocytegloboside membrane P antigen are susceptible.
In women withsevere hemolytic anemiafor example, sickle-cell disease
parvovirus infection may cause an aplastic crisis.
slappedcheekappearance. The rash becomes lacelike and spreads tothe trunk and
extremities.Adults often have milder rashesand develop symmetrical polyarthralgia
that may persist severalweeks.
RubellaGerman Measles
This RNA togavirus typically causes infections of minorimportance in the absence of
pregnancy. Rubella infection inthe first trimester, however, poses significant risk for
abortion andsevere congenital malformations. Transmission occurs via
nasopharyngealsecretions, and the transmission rate is 80 percentto susceptible
individuals. The peak incidence is late winterand spring.
Rubella may be isolated from the urine, blood, nasopharynx,and cerebrospinal fluid
for up to 2 weeks after rash onset. Thediagnosis is usually made, however, with
serological analysis.Specific IgM antibody can be detected using enzyme-
linkedimmunoassay from 4 to 5 days after onset of clinical disease,but it can persist
for up to 6 weeks after appearance of therash.Importantly, rubella reinfection
cangive rise to transient low levels of IgM. Serum IgG antibodytiters peak 1 to 2
weeks after rash onset. This rapid antibodyresponse may complicate serodiagnosis
unless samples are initiallycollected within a few days after the onset of the rash.If,
for example, the first specimen was obtained 10 days afterthe rash, detection of IgG
antibodies would fail to differentiatebetween very recent disease and preexisting
immunity torubella. IgG avidity testing is performed concomitant with theserological
tests above. High-avidity IgG antibodies indicatean infection at least 2 months in the
past.
Rubella is one of the most complete teratogens, and sequelaeof fetal infection are
worst during organogenesis. Pregnant women with rubella infection anda rash
during the first 12 weeks of gestation have a fetuswith congenital infection in up to
90 percent of cases
At 13 to 14 weeks gestation, thisincidence was 54 percent, and by the end of the
second trimester,it was 25 percent. Defects are rare after 20 weeks.
There is no specific treatment for rubella. Droplet precautionsfor 7 days after the
onset of the rash are recommended. Primaryprevention relies on comprehensive
vaccination programs.To eradicate rubella and prevent congenital rubella
syndromecompletely, a comprehensive approach is recommendedfor immunizing
the adult population. MMRvaccine should be offered to nonpregnant women of
childbearingage who do not have evidence of immunity whenever theymake contact
with the health-care system. Vaccination of allsusceptible hospital personnel who
might be exposed to patientswith rubella or who might have contact with pregnant
womenis important. Rubella vaccination should be avoided 1 monthbefore or during
pregnancy because the vaccine contains attenuatedlive virus. Although there is a
small overall theoretical riskof up to 2.6 percent, there is no observed evidence that
the vaccine induces malformations. MMR vaccination is not an indication for
pregnancy termination.Prenatal serological screening for rubella is indicated for
allpregnant women. Women found to be nonimmune should beoffered the MMR
vaccine postpartum.
Cytomegalovirus
This ubiquitous DNA herpes virus eventually infects mosthumans. Cytomegalovirus
(CMV) is the most common perinatalinfection in the developed world. Specifically,
someevidence of fetal infection is found in 0.2 to 2.5 percent ofall neonates. The
virus is secreted into allbody fluids, and person-to-person contact with viral-
ladensaliva, semen, urine, blood, and nasopharyngeal and cervicalsecretions can
transmit infection. The fetus may becomeinfected by transplacental viremia, or the
neonate is infectedat delivery or during breast feeding.
Hepatitis B
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is estimated to affect >350 million people
worldwide and represents a significant cause ofmorbidity and mortality related to
cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HBV
remainsan important source of incident cases of HBV. Current barriers to eradication
of incident HBV infections via MTCT include underutilizationof immunoprophylaxis
with hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis B immune globulin in certain endemic
regions aswell as failure of immunoprophylaxis.
IU/mL), in whom therisk is highest, but transmission can occur even at levels>200
000 IU/mL. Treatment decisions necessitate careful discussionof risks and benefits
as emerging data suggest some possibleeffect on bone mineral concentration in
tenofovir-exposedpregnant women, which must be balanced by a nearly 10% riskof
chronic infection with an incurable virus. Pregnant womenwith HBV must be
monitored for clinical flares, with or withoutmedications, and breastfeeding should be
allowed as well.
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a well known cause of chronic liver disease in adults, but
the burden of HCV inpregnant women and children is underappreciated. The leading
route of HCV acquisition in children is verticaltransmission.
Infants born to women infectedwith HCV were more likely to be low birth weight,
smallfor gestational age, and require neonatal intensive care andassisted
ventilation. In the same cohort, women infectedwith HCV had an increased risk for
gestational diabetesbut only when combined with excessive gestational weightgain.

ABSTRACTS
Central nervous system (CNS) infections presenting to the emergency room
include meningitis, encephalitis, brain and spinal epidural abscess, subdural
empyema, and ventriculitis. These conditions often require admission to an intensive
care unit (ICU) and are complications of ICU patients with neurologic injury,
contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality.CNS infections may have acute
and chronic neurologic sequelae, including seizures, hydrocephalus, focal
neurologic deficits, sensorineural hearing loss, cognitive deficits, and personality
change.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the arachnoid membrane, the pia mater, and
the intervening cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The inflammatory process extends
throughout the subarachnoid space around the brain and spinal cord and involves
the ventricles. Acute-onset fever, generalized headache, vomiting, and stiff neck are
common to many types of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency
that requires immediate diagnosis and rapid institution of antimicrobial therapy.
Delay in treatment is the most critical factor in determining the morbidity and
mortality of patients with bacterial meningitis.
Encephalitis is defined by the presence of an inflammatory process of the
brain in association with clinical evidence of neurologic dysfunction. Of the
pathogens reported to cause encephalitis, the majority are viruses.The syndrome of
acute encephalitis shares many clinical features with acute meningitis, such that
patients with either syndrome may present with fever, headache, and altered level of
consciousness.Viral encephalitis is a medical emergency. The spectrum of brain
involvement and the prognosis are dependent mainly on the specific pathogen and
the immunological state of the host.

THYPOID FEVER
Abstract
Typhoid fever is an acute systemic infection which is caused by Salmonella typhi. S
typhi is a gram-negative bacilli , aerobic, and moving with flagellae. S. typhi enters
the human body form contaminated food, and then penetrate to gut mucosal
membranes, continue to gut lymph nodes . S.typhi become reproductive and then
from thoracic ducts enters to the blood stream, going to the reticuloendothelial
system (first bacteremia), occurs in 24-72 hours after S typhis entrance and rarely
diagnosed diagnosed because its asymptomatic. First bacteremia will soon be
ended after this microorganism is not shattered because of fagocytosis, due to
protection from Vi cappsule. In this organ of reticuloendothelial system, the
microorganism continued to be reproductive. This process lasted in 7 until 10 days.
And then the microorganism continue to enter the blood stream and cause the
secondary bacteremia.
Clinical Findings During prodromal stage, there is increasing malaise, headache,
abdominal pain and constipation, while the fever ascends in astepwise. After 7-10
days, the fever reaches a plateau and the patient is much more ill, appearing
exhausted and often prostrated. There may be marked abdominal distention,
especially early, or pea soup diarrhea; marked abdominal distention occurs as
well. During the early prodrome, physical sign are few. Later, typhoid tongue,
splenomegaly, abdominal distention and tenderness, relative bradicardia appear.
Laboratory findings: Typhoid fever is best diagnosed by blood culture, which is
positive in the first week of illness in 80% patients who have no taken antimicrobial.
Culture of bone marrow occasionally are positive when blood cultures are not. The
other laboratory test including: PCR, specific serologic test: widal
Management: Fluids and electrolytes should be monitored and replaced. Oral
nutrition with a soft digestible diet is preferable in the absence of abdominal
distension or ileus. No specific limitations on activity are indicated for patients with
typhoid fever. As with most systemic diseases, rest is helpful, but mobility should be
maintained if tolerable. The patient should be encouraged to stay home from work
until recovery. Several antibiotics including: ampicillin, azithromycin.
Chlorampenicol, third generation cephalosporins, and quinolon are effective for
treatment.

ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS
Abstract
Acute gastroenteritis is define as the inflammation of the mucus membranes
of the gastrointestinal tract and is characterized by diarrhea and/or vomiting. It
causes significant mortality in developing countries and significant economic burden
to developed countries. Over 1.7 billion global cases of diarrheal disease are
reported annually and are associated with an estimated 2.2 million deaths. Viruses
are responsible for approximately 70% of episodes of acute gastroenteritis and
rotavirus is the one of the best studies of these viruses. In developing countries,
enteric bacteria and parasites are more prevalent than viruses and typically peak
during the summer months. The most common bacterial causes are Salmonella
species, Campylobacter sp, Shigella sp and Yersinia sp. Vibrio cholera remains a
major cause of gastroenteritis especially after a disaster where sanitation is
compromised. Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium sp and Entamoeba histolytica are
common protozoal infection. The initial clinical evaluation of the patient should focus
on assessing the severity of the illness and the need for rehydration and identifying
likely causes on the basis of history and clinical findings. Correcting fluid and
electrolyte disturbance take patients who are dehydrated of febrile or have blood or
pus in their stool. Oral rehydration therapy is as effective as intravenous therapy in
treating mild to moderate dehydration in acute gastroenteritis and is strongly
recommended as the first line therapy. Antimicrobial therapy are reliably helpful only
for patients with bloody diarrhea (most likely shigellosis), suspected cholera with
severe dehydration and serious non-intestinal infections (e.g., pneumonia).
Antimicrobial are to be considered the drugs of choice for empirical treatment of
travelers diarrhea and community-acquired secretory diarrhea when the pathogen
is known. Anti-emetics are not routinely recommended in treating acute
gastroenteritis, but often used because vomiting is unpleasant and a distressing
symptom which can increase the likelihood or dehydration, electrolyte imbalance,
pulmonary aspiration and most importantly the need for intravenous hydration or
hospitalization. Prevention including; water, sanitation, hygiene, safe food and
immunization can substantially reduce the incidence and severity of the disease.

HIV INFECTION
Abstract
Retroviruses are enveloped viruses, with an RNA genome. The name is derived
from the fact that the virus particle contains an RNA-dependent DNA Polymerase
(Reverse transcriptase). This enzyme converts the RNA genome into DNA, which
then integrates into the host chromosomal DNA. The reverse transcriptase is highly
error prone and rapid genetic variation is a feature of this group.
The most common retrovirus in human is HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
Since 1981, the first cases presented with immune deficiency syndrome were
detected in the United State of America. Several years after that, in 1984 it was
known that the syndrome was caused by HIV infection. HIV targeted cells who carry
CD4 receptor molecule as the main receptor, though other co-receptor is also
needed for HIV to infect the cells, such as CCR5 and CXCR4. Transmissions:
Commonly through sexual transmission, Blood transfusion, Mother to infant and
rarely accidental occupational exposure
Primary HIV infection may present with the clinical picture of a febrile illness
approximately 24 weeks after exposure. The symptoms may include skin rash,
myalgia, fatigue, sore throat, diarrhoea, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly
and, rarely, neurological symptoms. While this seroconversion illness may occur in
up to 7080% of individuals, it is often not viewed as serious or related to HIV
infection, due in part to its self-limited course. Primary HIV infection seldom results
in presentation to health care settings.
In line with the course of time of infection, when the immune system becomes
progressively damaged by HIV, reflected by an increased of HIV viral load and a
steady decline of the CD4 lymphocyte count to 200 350 cells/L, the patient may
develop symptoms that are commonly associated with HIV disease. These include
persistent fever, night sweats, significant weight loss, oral thrush, herpes zoster and
chronic diarrhoea. A range of opportunistic infection will occur. Thrombocytopenia
and lymphopenia may be present on blood testing. It should be noted that any organ
system can become involved in opportunistic infections and the clinical presentation
of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is therefore highly variable. Please
see WHO Classification for disease staging and also CDC classification of HIV
infection based on laboratory examination and the list of diseases referred as AIDS
defining illnesses (ADI). So, infection with HIV will covered a very wide range, from
asymptomatic to severe clinical manifestation of opportunistic infection.
Diagnosis of HIV infection can be made if there are risk factors of HIV infection,
clinical manifestation of disease mentioned above, especially in late stage will
presented with AIDS defining illness and laboratory test positive for HIV-antibody or
any other test confirming HIV infection, such as P24 Ag test and HIV viral load test.
Treatment to HIV/AIDS, include treatment to the specific manifestation of
opportunistic infection, antiretroviral treatment, supportive treatment, symptomatic
drugs, supportive counseling, psychological treatment and counseling to increased
adherence.

FILARIASIS
ABSTRACT
Filariasis is a disease group affecting human and animal, caused by filariae, a
nematode (round worm) parasite from Filariidae order. The transmission of filariasis
from infected individual to uninfected individual via mosquito bite. Mosquitoes of the
genera Aedes, Anopheles, Culex, or Mansonia are the intermediate hosts and
vectors of all species that cause lymphatic filariasis. There were hundreds filarial
species and fortunately only eight use humans as their definitive host. In Indonesia,
there were 241 districs from 26 provinces with endemic filariasis; with national
eradication program, the government targeted by the year 2020, Indonesia will be
free from elephantiasis. The WHO has identified lymphatic filariasis as the second
leading cause of permanent and long term disabilities after leprosy. In lymphatic
filariasis, repeated episode of lymphedema and inflammation lead to lymphatic
damage, chronic edema and elephantiasis of the leg, arms, scrotum, vulva and
breast.
Based on the predilection of filarial infestation within human body, filariasis
divided into three groups: (1) Lymphatic filariasis, caused by Wucheria brancrofti,
Brugia malayi and Brugia timori. These worms occupy the lymphatic system
including lymph nodes, in chronic case may lead to syndrome of elephantiasis. (2)
Subcutaneous filariasis, caused by Loa loa (eye worm), Mansonella streptocerca,
Onchocerca volvulus. These worms occupy subcutaneous layer of the skin at the fat
layer. (3) Serous cavity filariasis caused by Mansonella perstans, Mansonella
ozzardi. They occupy the serous cavity of abdomen.
Diagnosis of filariasis by detection of microfilaria through examination of
blood (microfilariae of all species that can cause lymphatic filariasis, Loaiasis (Loa
loa), Mansonella ozzardi, Mansonella perstans), urine (chyluria in lymphatic
filariasis, in concentrated urine evaluation may revealed microfilaria), skin
( Onchocerca volvulus and M streptocerca infections are diagnosed when
microfilariae are detected in multiple skin-snip specimens from different sites located
on both sides of the body), eye (microfilariae of O volvulus may be detected in the
cornea or anterior chamber of the eye using slit-lamp examination). Imaging study
and histology evaluation may be used to demonstrate and monitor lymphatic
obstruction.
Management of filariasis including antihelmintics (Diethylcarbamazine,
ivermectin, suramin, mebendazole, albendazole, flubendazole), surgerical excision
can be considered in lymphatic filariasis with large hydrocele and scrotal
elephantiasis.

CHILD IMMUNIZATION
ABSTRACT
Immunization or vaccination is the most effective health program and efficient
than other health program in the prevention of an infectious disease. Immunity of the
body against the disease is the main purpose of the vaccination.
Immunity can be given passive and active. Vaccination and immunization are
the example of artificial active immunity in which the vaccine stimulate the body's
active to make specific antibodies. The vaccine components consist of viruses and
bacteria, both viruses and bacteria attenuated or components of viruses and
bacteria.
Some examples of vaccine are BCG, DPT, Hepatitis B, Hib, measles,
pneumococcus, and others. Immunization is based on the immunization schedule in
accordance with the age.

BACTEREMIA, SEPSIS
Abstract
Sepsis is defined as a known or suspected infection plus systemic
manifestations of infections (eg, traditional systemic inflammatory response
syndrome criteriatachy-cardia, tachypnea, white blood count changes, and
fever/hypothermia as well as other metabolic perturbations or organ
dysfunctions). Severe sepsis is defined as sepsis plus infection-induced organ
dysfunction or infection-induced acute tissue hypoperfusion. Bacteriemia is the
presence of viable bacteria in the blood. Early diagnosis, early antibiotic
administration, and adequate fluid resuscitation are key in decreasing sepsis
morbidity and mortality.
Learning task
1. Explain definition of bacteriemia, sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock
2. How to manage sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock

URINARY TRACT INFECTION
Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) refers to a symptomatic bacterial infection
within the urinary tract. This includes a lower urinary tract infection cystitis
(symptomatic infection of the bladder), or an upper urinary tract infection acute
pyelonephritis (symptomatic infection of the kidney). These definitions are based
upon a grouping of symptoms. However, the bacterial infection may extend
beyond the anatomical area suggested by the terminology. Asymptomatic
bacteriuria is present if a patient has two consecutive urine cultures showing >100
000 cfu/mL urine, but does not have any symptoms of a UTI. This is only treated
in certain cases, such as prior to a urological operation, in pregnant women, or in
immunocompromised patients. UTIs may be considered complicated if symptoms
of pyelonephritis emerge, or if a UTI is found in certain patient populations,
including the immunosuppressed, men, pregnant women, diabetics, those with a
history of pyelonephritis, or those with structural abnormalities of the urinary tract.
Etiology of UTI is various, most commonly due to infection with Escherichia
coli species (80-90% of cases). Other causes include Klebsiella, Enterococcus,
Proteus mirabilis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Periurethral colonization by
the invading pathogen appears to be the initiating step in a cascade of events
leading to a UTI. Most of the causative organisms are naturally present in the GI
tract, which acts as a natural reservoir for potential UTIs.
Symptoms of UTI are (1) Dysuria, which are due to acute inflammation of
the bladder, resulting in discomfort upon contraction during voiding, (2) Frequency
and urgency : reduced bladder capacity due to inflammatory edema causing
decreased compliance and pain due to bladder distension, (3) Hematuria :
irritated, edematous urinary tract bleeding with voiding, (4) Suprapubic tenderness
which are due to palpation and compression of an inflamed, edematous bladder,
(5) Chills and sweats are inflammatory cascade resulting in a febrile response, (6)
Flank pain (may radiate to groin, often dull and constant), and costovertebral
angle (CVA) tenderness are caused by sudden renal edema, resulting in
increased pressure and capsular distension.
While UTIs may be classified in the literature according to location and symptoms,
it is clinically very difficult to determine the extent of infection based on symptoms
Elderly women may present with only urinary incontinence and no other
symptoms. Urine dipstick test showing positive nitrites or leukocyte esterase are
suggestive of UTI, raising the pretest probability by 25%. Nitrite: positive due to
bacterial reduction of endogenous nitrates to nitrites; classically positive in Gram-
negative Enterobacteriaceae family of enteric uropathogens. However, nitrite
dipstick may also be clinically useful in detecting Enterococcus and
Staphylococcus bacteria. Leukocyte esterase: positive as neutrophil granules
contain enzymes with esterase activity; presence ofneutrophils in urine due to
inflammation andleukocyte migration into the urinary tract. Only a positive urine
culture is considered truly diagnostic of a UTI, however, urine should only be
cultured in the setting ofclinical infection or infective symptoms; as previously
mentioned, asymptomatic bacteriuria is common and does not require treatment.
Treatment with antimicrobials aims to eradicate the bacteria causing
infection. The chosen antimicrobials depend on extent of infection (uncomplicated
or complicated), common local pathogens, and resistance patterns. Examples of
antibiotics for uncomplicated UTI include: (1) Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole :
Inhibition of microbial DNA synthesis by inhibiting the folic acid synthesis and
consequently the purines required for DNA, (2) Fluoroquinolones: Inhibition of
microbial DNA synthesis by blocking DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV needed for
successful DNA replication and transcription, (3) Nitrofurantoin: The mechanism is
not fully understood,but it directly causes selective damage to microbial DNA,which
metabolises the toxic intermediates of nitrofurantoin more rapidly than human cells.
Case:
Lisa, age 14, is brought in to the surgery by her mother with a 2-day history of
fever and irritability. Her mother has noticed that she has been going to the toilet
more often and complaining of pain when she passes urine. Lisa has not been
eating well but has had no episodes of vomiting. She has had no previous urinary
frequency or dysuria that her mother can remember and has no relevant medical

LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION
Abstract
Lower respiratory tract infections are less common but are more likely to cause
serious illness and death. Diagnosis and specific chemotherapy of respiratory tract
infections present a particular challenge to both the clinician and the laboratory staff.
Successful preventive strategies are available for several respiratory infections.
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) is infection below the level of the larynx
and may be taken to include: Bronchiolitis, Bronchitis, Pneumonia,
Laryngotracheobronchitis (croup), Pulmonary tuberculosis. Usually with cough as
the main symptom, with at least one other lower respiratory tract symptom (sputum
production, dyspnoea, wheeze or chest discomfort/pain) and no alternative
explanation (e.g. sinusitis or asthma). The presentation of these conditions will
depend on age, infecting organism and site of infection.
The lower respiratory tract consists of: the trachea, the bronchi, bronchioles, and the
alveoli.
The most common lower respiratory tract infections (LTRIs) include: bronchitis,
pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis.
In this lesson were discuss only acute bronchitis and pneumonia. The main
symptom of a lower respiratory tract infection is a cough, although it is usually more
severe and more productive (bringing up phlegm and mucus). Sometimes the
mucus is blood-stained. Other symptoms of a lower respiratory tract infection
include: a tight feeling in your chest, breathlessness, wheezing, sore throat, fever
and chills, headaches, blocked nose and sinuses, aches and pains.
The causatives lower respiratory tract infections are by viruses, bacteria, and rarely
fungi.
History, physical examination, X-rays and laboratory investigations focus on two
issues: the degree of respiratory compromise and the identity of the causal
pathogen. Diagnostic specimens can be obtained from the respiratory tract with
deceptive ease, but their value is often limited by contamination by the indigenous
flora of the oral cavity. A history of tobacco consumption, recent travel, occupation,
pets, and contacts with similar symptoms should be sought.
Antibiotic treatment should be prescribed in patients with suspected or definite
pneumonia. Antibiotic treatment should be considered for patients with LRTI and
serious co-morbidity.
Some patients recommendation to vaccination with influenza vaccine and
pneumococcal.
Case 1:
A 45-years-old man with dyspnea since 5 days prior to admission. Dyspnea
accompanied by productive coughing and high grade fever. He sought treatment
from local district hospital doctor, in 2 days admission, such as; paracetamol 1 gram
intra vena every 8 hours, amoxicillin 1 gram intra vena every 8 hours, and
ambroxole syrup 1 spoon every 8 hours. The treatment given does not works and
then he was referred to Sanglah Hospital for intensive treatment, with diagnosis:
suspected pneumonia cause by bacterial. He is a smoker and some time drinks
beer. Based on an initial examination, patient fully alert, look pale and severe ill,

AVIAN INFLUENZA, SARS
Abstract
Bird flu (avian influenza, AI) is an infection caused by the influenza A virus
subtype H5N1, which generally attack birds (birds and chickens). Type A influenza
viruses are members of the Orthomyxoviridae family. On the surface of the virus
type A, there are two glycoproteins: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N).
Subtypes based on the nature of H (H1 to H16) and N (N1 to N9). The avian
influenza virus can survive in water up to 4 days at a temperature of 22 0C and more
than 30 days at a temperature of 0 0C. in poultry feces and body sick poultry, the
influenza virus can live long, but died on heating 60 0 C for 30 min, 56 0C for 3 hours
and heating to 80 0 C for 1 minute. The virus will die with detergents, disinfectants
for example formalin, a liquid containing iodine or 70% alcohol.
Mode of transmission:
Transmission of the disease to humans can be through:
- Animals: direct contact with sick poultry or poultry products were sick.
- Environment: air or equipment contaminated with the virus both derived from
poultry feces or secretions are attacked AI
- Human: very limited and inefficient (found some cases in a group / cluster)
Period of communicability:
Period of transmission to humans is 1 day before, until 3-5 days after onset of
symptoms. In children, the infectious period can be up to 21 days.
High risk groups:
Group to watch and at high risk of AI infection are:
- farm workers / poultry processing (including veterinary / animal husbandry
engineer)
Learning Task:
Male 45 years, previously healthy, broilers collectors work, was escorted to the
emergency room, complaining of fever, cough, and shortness of breath since 3
days.. 1 month ago history of some chickens on the farm, many died. on physical

TETANUS
Abstract
Although tetanus can be prevented by appropriate immunization, accidental
tetanus continues to be frequent in underdeveloped and developing countries. The
mortality rate of accidental tetanus varies among different studies and depends on
multiple factors, including patient age, clinical severity; the type of infectious source
wound; incubation and progression times; concomitant respiratory, hemodynamic,
renal and infective complications; site where the patient is treated and the quality of
the care provided, and approach 100% in the absence of medical treatment.
Tetanus is an acute toxin-mediated disease cause by Clostridium tetani, that
is not transmitted from person to person. Clostridium tetani is a Gram positive,
anaerobic, rod- shaped bacterium, whose can developed a terminal spores, survive
in soil and cause infection by contaminating wounds. The spores are very resistant
to heat and the usual antiseptics. Infection occurs when C. tetani spores are
introduced into acute wounds form trauma, surgeries and injections or cronic skin
lesions and infections. Cases have resulted from wounds that were considered too
trivial to warrant medical attention. The incubation period of tetanus is usually
between 3 and 21 days (median 7 days). Outbreaks of tetanus related to injuries
associated with natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunami have been
documented . Under favourable anaerobic conditions, this ubiquitous bacillus may
produce tetanospasmin, an extremely potent neurotoxin.. Tetanus toxin, the product
of Clostridium tetani, is the cause of tetanus symptoms. Tetanus is taken up into
terminals of lower motor neuron and transported axonally to the spinal cord and /or
brainstem. Here toxin moves trans-synaptically into inhibitory nerve terminals, where
vesicular release of inhibitory neurotransmitter becomes blocked, leading to
disinhibition of lower motor neurons. Muscle rigidity and spasms ensue, often
manifesting as trismus/lockjaw, dysphagia, opistotonus, or rigidity and spams of
respiratory, laryngeal and abdominal muscles, which may cause respiratory failure.
There is no definition for confirmed tetanus. There is no diagnostic laboratory test
for tetanus; the diagnosis is entirely clinical. Probable case defined an acute illness
with muscle spasms or hypertonia and diagnosis of tetanus by a health care
provider or death, with tetanus listed on the death certificate as the cause of death
Case

SKIN INFECTION
ABSTRACT
Skin Infection is a very common problem in health care setting. This condition can
caused by various agents, including bacteria, virus or fungal group. Skin infection is
not always caused by pathogenic agent, but also by normal flora of the skin such as
Staphylococcus aureus or Candida sp. Examples of skin infection cause by bacteria
are furuncles and erysipelas whereas infection cause by virus including Varicella,
Herpes Zoster and Herpes Simpleks. Skin infection occurred not merely by the role
of infectious agents, but more likely as an interaction of host, agent and
enviromental role. Agent factors consist of the pathogenic or virulence factors of the
agent itself. Enviromental factor includes the temperature, moisture, climate and
enviromental hygiene and crowd. The most important host factor is the function of
the skin as protection barriers. Others includes immunological status of the patient
and also the presence of other systemic disease, Skin infections caused by different
agent group need to be properly diagnosed and treated with appropiate treatment to
avoid serious complications.
