"ABSTRAK Latar belakang : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) merupakan salah satu infeksi oportunistikpada pasien dengan sindrom immunodefisiensi (AIDS). Gejala klinis dan CT scantidak dapat menegakkan diagnosa definitif ensefalitis CMV. Oleh karena itudiperlukan uji alternatif untuk menegakkan diagnosis infeksi CMV pada pasien HIVdengan infeksi otak. Salah satu uji yang sensitif dan spesifik adalah Real TimePolymerase Chain Reaction (rPCR).Tujuan : Mendapatkan uji deteksi molekular CMV pada pasien HIV dengantersangka infeksi otak.Metode : Penelitian dilakukan dalam 3 tahap. Tahap 1 adalah optimasi konsentrasiprimer, probe, suhu annealing, volume elusi ekstraksi DNA, dan volume cetakan.Tahap 2 adalah uji spesifisitas (reaksi silang) dan uji sensitivitas (ambang batasdeteksi DNA) rPCR dan tahap 3 adalah penerapan uji rPCR yang sudah dioptimasiterhadap sampel plasma, urin, dan LCS.Hasil : Kondisi optimal uji rPCR telah diperoleh dengan konsentrasi primer danprobe 0,1 μM, dengan kondisi suhu reaksi rPCR: aktivasi enzim pada 950C selama 3menit; 45 siklus pada 950C selama 15 detik (denaturasi) dan 560C selama 1 menit(annealing dan ekstensi). Volume elusi ekstraksi DNA yang optimal untuk ketigajenis sampel (LCS, plasma dan urin) adalah 40 μL, dan volume cetakan rPCR untukLCS, plasma, dan urin, masing-masing adalah 5, 4, dan 3 μL. Uji rPCR mampumendeteksi DNA pada 50.000 jumlah kopi/mL dan tidak bereaksi silang denganStaphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacteriumtuberculosis, Candida spp, Toxoplasma gondii, EBV,HSV,dan VZV. Penerapan ujirPCR pada sampel klinis memberikan hasil negatif pada semua sampel LCS, 72,22%positif pada sampel plasma, dan 72,22% positif pada sampel urin.Kesimpulan: Telah dilakukan optimasi uji rPCR dengan minimal deteksi DNACMV 50.000 jumlah kopi/mL dan tidak bereaksi silang dengan mikroorganisme yangberpotensi menyebabkan positif palsu (false positive).ABSTRACT Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of opportunistic infections in patientswith Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Clinical manifestations are nottypical, and CT scans can not define encephalitis CMV specifically. Therefore, it isimportant to apply an alternative assay for sensitive and specific detection of CMVinfection in HIV patients with suspected central nervous system (CNS) infections.One of the assays is real time polymerase chain reaction (rPCR).Objective: To obtain a molecular assay for detection of CMV in HIV patients withsuspect CNS infections.Methods: This study was conducted in three phases. The first is optimization ofconcentrations of primers, probe, annealing temperature, final elution of DNAextraction, and volume of PCR template. The second is determinations of sensitivity(minimal detection of DNA) and specificity (cross-reaction) of the optimized rPCR,and the third is application of the rPCR for clinical samples of plasma, urine, andliquor cerebrospinal (LCS).Results: The rPCR reaction showed optimal concentrations of primers and probe at0.1 μM, with thermal cycler: 950C for 3 min (enzyme activation), followed by 45cycles of 950C for 15 sec (denaturation) and 560C for 1 min (annealing andextension). Final elution of DNA extraction was 40 μL and volume of PCR templatesfor urine, plasma, and LCS was 3, 4, and 5 μL, respectively. The rPCR had minimaldetection of DNA at 50,000 copies/mL and was not cross-reacted withStaphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacteriumtuberculosis, Candida spp, Toxoplasma gondii, Epstein-Bar Virus (EBV), HerpesSimplex Virus (HSV) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). Application of rPCR forclinical samples showed that the rPCR yielded 72.22% positive for plasma or urine,and negative for all LCS samples.Conclusion: The rPCR has been optimized in this study with minimal DNA detectionat 50,000 copies/mL and was not cross-reacted with other microorganisms that arepotential to cause false positive results.;Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of opportunistic infections in patientswith Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

"Infeksi HIV menyebabkan menurunnya jumlah sel T helper(Th) yang memudahkan terjadinya infeksi oportunistik. Salah satu infeksi oportunistik tersering adalah infeksi kandida di orofaring dan esofagus. Untuk mendeteksi peningkatan koloni Kandida tidak mudah, jumlah CD4 dapat digunakan sebagai rujukan. Pada kenyataannya hanya sedikit sentra laboratorium yang menyediakan fasilitas pemeriksaan CD4. Dilakukan penelitian cross-sectional untuk menentukan hubungani antara jumlah limfosit total dengan intensitas koloni kandida di orofaring pasien-pasien HIV/AIDS. Penelitian dilakukan di poliklinik dan bangsal rawat inap RS Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo dari Agustus 2004 sampai Januari 2005. Subyek penelitian diwawancarai, menjalani pemeriksaan fisik, dan pemeriksaan darah dan kultur sampel kumur pasien. Sejumlah 60 subyek terdiri dari 52 pria(86.7%) dan 8 wanita(13.3%). Rata-rata hitung limfosit total adalah 1194.53 sel/µL. Kandidosis orofaring terdapat pada 44 pasien(73.3%).Terdapat kecenderungan jumlah koloni Kandida yang tinggi pada jumlah limfosit total pasien yang rendah, walaupun tidak terdapat korelasi signifikan di antara keduanya. Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara jumlah limfosit total pada klas koloni Kandida yang positif dan negatif. (Med J Indones 2005; 14: 147-51)

HIV infection causes qualitative and quantitative reduction of the T helper (Th) subset of T lymphocytes, facilitating opportunistic infection. One of the common opportunistic infections among HIV/AIDS patients is Candida infection in the oropharynx and esophagus. Detection of increased Candida colonialization is not always easy, CD4 count is a parameter that could be used as reference. The fact is there?s only few laboratory can provide CD4 count. This study is a cross-sectional correlative study to determine the relation between total lymphocyte count as a much more applicable laboratory parameter and the intensity of Candida colonization in the oropharyngeal cavity of patients with HIV infection/AIDS. It was performed in the outpatient ward and inpatient ward of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, from August 2004 to January 2005. The selected study subjects underwent interview, physical examination and had their blood samples and gargle samples taken. 60 study subjects were recruited, consisting of 52 males (86.7%) and 8 females (13.3%). The mean total lymphocyte count was 1194.53 cells/μL. Oropharyngeal candidiasis was found in 44 subjects (73.3%). There is a trend of higher Candida colonies number with lower total lymphocyte count despite no significant correlation between total lymphocyte count and the number of Candida colonies in the oral cavity of patients with HIV infection/AIDS. There is significant different between total lymphocyte count in positive and negative Candida colonies. (Med J Indones 2005; 14: 147-51)"

"Human Immunodeficiency Virus type-I (HIV-1) merupakan penyebab sindroma penurunan sistem imun tubuh yang disebut dengan Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Infeksi HIV-I di dunia dan Indonesia cenderung meningkat. Pemeriksaan yang cepat dan spesifik diperlukan untuk mencegah penyebaran infeksi HIV-I. Berbagai teknik telah dikembangkan untuk deteksi infeksi HIV-I. Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan pemeriksaan RT-PCR HIV-1 Mikrobiologi FKUI (in-house RT-PCR) untuk mendapatkan uji alternatif deteksi HIV-1. Sebanyak 46 plasma dan serum kelompok berperilaku risiko tinggi yang berkunjung ke klinik VCT . RSUP Sanglah Denpasar, telah diperiksa dalam penelitian ini. Serum diperiksa dengan 3 kit rapid test yang berbeda yaitu DetermineTM HIV-1/2 (Abbott), ImmunoCombR HIV 1 & 2 BiSpot (Organics), dan SerodieR HIV-1/2 (Fujirebio Inc.). Plasma diuji dengan pemeriksaan RTPCR generasi I menggunakan primer spesifik terhadap daerah gag dan RT-PCR generasi 2 menggunakan primer spesifik terhadap daerah protease dari genom HIV-1. Hasil rapid test menunjukkan dari 46 sampel, sebanyak 26 serum (56,5%) reaktif dan 20 serum (43,5%) non-reaktif. Tingkat sensitivitas, spesifisitas, nilai duga positif, dan nilai duga negatif RT-PCR generasi 1 secara berturut-turut adalah 80,8%, 95%, 95,5%, dan 79,2%, sedangkan rasio kemungkinan positif dan negatif adalah 16,2, dan 0,2. Pemeriksaan RTPCR generasi 2 menunjukkan tingkat sensitivitas 65,4%, spesifisitas 90%, nilai duga positif 89,5%, nilai duga negatif 66,7%, rasio kemungkinan positif 6,5, dan rasio kemungkinan negatif 0,4. Teknik RT-PCR yang menggunakan primer tersebut dapat mendeteksi HIV pada semua stadium klinis WHO pada kelompok ini. Sensitivitas dan spesifisitas RT-PCR generasi 1 lebih baik daripada RT-PCR generasi 2, tetapi, masih lebih rendah daripada baku emas, Secara keseluruhan, RT-PCR pada penelitian ini belum dapat direkomendasikan sebagai uji altematif baik uji skrining maupun uji konfirmasi dalam mendeteksi infeksi HIV-1.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) can cause decrease of immune response which is called Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV-l infection in the world and Indonesia tends to increase. Many techniques were developed to detect HIV-1 infection. A specific and rapid diagnosis is needed to prevent transmission of HIV-1 infection. In this study, we performed RT-PCR HIV-1 Microbiology FKUI (in-house RT-PCR) as an alternative test to detect HIV-1. Forty six plasmas and serums from high risk behavior group who visited VCT Clinic Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar were used in this study. Serums were tested with 3 different rapid test kits i.e. Determine ° IIIV-112 (Abbott), immunoComb HIV I & 2 BiSpot (Orgenics), and Serodia ' HIV-112 (Fujirebio Inc.). Plasmas were tested with I generation RT-PCR which used specific primers to gag region in HIV-1 genome and specific primers to protease region in IIIV-1 genome for 2nd generation RT-PCR. Results of rapid test demonstrated 26 serums (56.5%) were reactive and 20 serums (43.5%) were non-reactive. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of 1st generation RT-PCR was 80.8%, 95%, 95.5%, 79.2%, whereas positive likelihood ratio (LR +) and negative likelihood ratio (LR -) was 16.2, and 0.2, respectively. The 2"d generation RT-PCR showed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, LR (+), and LR (-) was 65.4%, 90%, 89.5%, 66.7%, 6.5, and 0.4, respectively. These in-house RT-PCR could detect HIV-1 in all WHO clinical staging in this group. This study showed that lsi generation RT-PCR gives better results than 2"d generation RT-PCR. But still inferior than rapid test to detect HIV-1 infection. Overall, RT-PCR in this study has not been recommended yet as an alternative test to detect HIV-I infection."

"Deteksi Infeksi Submikroskopis Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, dan Ascaris lumbricoides dari Sampel Feses di Nangapanda, Ende, Menggunakan Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction. Infeksi dari Soil-Transmitted Helminthes (STH) (N. americanus, A. duodenale (Hookworm), dan A. lumbricoides) dapat menyebabkan anemia, kekurangan zat besi, bahkan malnutrisi. Pemeriksaan infeksi STH dapat dilakukan menggunakan mikroskop, tetapi metode tersebut masih kurang sensitif. Penelitian bertujuan mendeteksi dan mengetahui persentase infeksi submikroskopis STH dari sampel feses anak (usia 5-18 tahun) di Nangapanda, Ende menggunakan metode real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sampel feses dikoleksi sebanyak dua kali, yaitu sebelum dan sesudah pemberian albendazole 400 mg. Total sampel yang diperoleh adalah 242 tetapi hanya 45 sampel yang negatif secara mikroskopis yang diuji dengan real-time PCR. DNA sampel diisolasi dan diamplifikasi menggunakan primer dari daerah internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1 dan ITS-2) rDNA. Deteksi dengan real-time PCR menghasilkan kurva amplifikasi pada fluorophore VIC, FAM, dan Texas Red. Sebanyak tiga sampel (6,7%) pada pre treatment termasuk low load of DNA (N. americanus and A. lumbricoides) (Ct > 35), empat sampel (9,1%) termasuk low load of DNA untuk N. americanus saja (Ct > 35), dan lima sampel (11,4%) termasuk moderate load of DNA untuk A. lumbricoides saja (30 < Ct < 35) pada post treatment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa real-time PCR dapat mendeteksi infeksi submikroskopis dari Hookworm dan A. lumbricoides.

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections (Necator americanus (hookworm), Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworm), and Ascaris lumbricoides) can lead to anemia, malnutrition, and iron deficiency. Traditionally, STH infections have been diagnosed using microscopy to detect eggs in human fecal samples. However, there are several limitations of this method. The aim of this research was to detect the percentage of submicroscopic STH infections from human fecal samples (children, 5?18 years old) in Nangapanda, Ende, using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The fecal samples were collected in two time periods, which were before and after treatment, using 400 mg of Albendazole. There were 242 samples in total, but only 45 negative samples from microscopic detection were tested with real-time PCR. The DNA samples were isolated and amplified wih primers of internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1 and ITS-2) region of rDNA. The detection of samples with real-time PCR generated an amplification curve in VIC, FAM, and Texas Red fluorophore. Three samples (6.7%) in pre-treatment were low load of DNA (N. americanus and A. lumbricoides) (Ct > 35). Four samples (9.1%) were low load of DNA (N. americanus) (Ct > 35) in post-treatment. Five samples (11.4%) were moderate load of DNA (A. lumbricoides) (30 < Ct < 35) in post-treatment. real-time PCR could detect submicroscopic infections from specific species of hookworm and A. lumbricoides."

"Disertasi ini membahas konstruksi pengetahuan dan praktik/tindakan pengelolaan illness yang dilakukan orang dengan HIV-AIDS (ODHA) serta berbagai faktor kontekstual yang terkait dalam mewujudkan praktik/tindakan tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan kepada 6 ODHA di Jakarta: laki-laki homoseksual, laki-laki biseksual, pekerja seksual komersial perempuan, intravenous drug user (IDU) laki-laki, dan perempuan heteroseksual yang terinfeksi dari suaminya. Data penelitian juga diperoleh dari significant others setiap ODHA. Konstruksi pengetahuan ODHA dalam mengelola illness dilihat melalui pendekatan connectionism. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pengetahuan ODHA dalam mengelola illness berkembang melalui pengalaman pribadi dari upaya memahami illness (learning what illness means) hingga beradaptasi terhadap illness. Praktik/tindakan pengelolaan illness terwujud karena adanya makna yang terbentuk dari interaksi antara struktur ekstrapersonal dan intrapersonal individu.

This study discussed about knowledge construction and illness managing practices that conducted by people with HIV-AIDS (ODHA), also contextual factors related to bring into reality those practices. Study conducted to 6 ODHAs in Jakarta that consisted of a male homosexual, a female bisexual, a female prostitute, an intravenous drug user (IDU), and females that were infected HIV- AIDS from their husbands. The data also were collected from the significant others of ODHAs. The ODHA's knowledge construction in managing illness was viewed through connectionism approach.

The study showed that the ODHAs' knowledge in managing illness developed through personal experiences from the effort to understanding the illness (learning what illness means) to becoming adaptive to the illness. The practices brought into reality because there was a meaning which was formed from interaction between individual extrapersonal and intrapersonal structure."

"Beberapa hasil uji serologi HIV indeterminate pada tes skrining darah ditemukan di Indonesia. Prosedur skrining darahyang dilakukan saat ini sesuai ketentuan yang ditetapkan oleh WHO untuk skrining darah, yaitu 3 tes uji serologi HIVselama pemeriksaan darah. Ketidaksesuaian hasil yang satu dengan yang lain didefinisikan sebagai hasil indeterminate.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi galur-galur HIV yang sulit teridentifikasi dari darah dengan uji serologiHIV intermediate dan mengevaluasi apakah galur HIV yang beredar di Indonesia mempunyai kemungkinan lolos darisistem pendeteksian yang ada. Deteksi RT-PCR dilakukan pada 40 sampel RNA HIV dari donor darah yangmempunyai hasil uji serologi indeterminate dengan sebelumnya melakukan uji konfirmasi dengan menggunakanwestern blot. Deteksi RT-PCR menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 24/32 (75%) sampel positif LTR, 4/31 (13%) positif poldan 3/5 (60%) positif env. Amplifikasi pada daerah p24, pita-pita yang ditemukan pada sampel selalu lebih rendah dariyang diharapkan. Sekuensing dilakukan untuk mengkonfirmasi hasil amplifikasi menunjukkan bahwa perlu analisislebih lanjut untuk mengetahui apakah perubahan ini yang menyebabkan hasil indeterminate.Indeterminate results ofserological HIV test have been found in Indonesia. The screening procedure is following the prescribed by WHO forscreening of blood donors which is based on 3 different serological HIV test during screening of blood donors.Discordant results are interpreted as indeterminate. This research aims to identify GIV strains that previously difficult todetermine, and to evaluate whether the HIV strains present in Indonesia could pass the existing screening system. RTPCRdetection test of HIV RNA were conducted for 40 blood donors samples with indeterminate serological HIV-testafter a confirmatory test using western blot. Preliminary results showed that 24/32 (75%) of the samples are positiveLTR, 4/31 (12%) positive pol and 1/3 (33%) positive env. Amplification in p24 region showed that bands found havelower size than expected. Sequencing performed to confirm these findings show that further analysis is needed todetermine whether this change is what behind the indeterminate results."
