Introduction: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) might become a complication of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) that has been treated. The clinical symptoms of CPA can resemble with PTB, making it difficult to distinguish. The diagnosis of CPA is determined by the consensus based on clinical symptoms, radiological features, and mycological results. Antibody detection with Aspergillus- specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) using the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method can contribute to CPA diagnosis. This study aims to determine the clinical characteristics, Aspergillus-specific IgG detection, and the prevalence of CPA in prior TB patients at several hospitals in Jakarta.

Method: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2019 - February 2020. Patients recruitment was carried out by consecutive sampling method. Subjects were prior TB patients at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital and Graha Permata Ibu Hospital. Detection of Aspergillus- specific IgG and fungal cultures from sputum were carried out in the Laboratory of the Parasitology Department, FMUI.

Results: Of 97 patients recruited according to inclusion criteria, 66 patients (68%) were male and the mean age was 51.8 ± 13.6 years. The clinical symptoms of more than 3 months were fatigue (38.4%), shortness of breath (34.02%), cough (30.93%), hemoptysis (27.84%), weight loss (23, 71%), and chest pain (19,6%). Radiological features associated with CPA were ectasis (57.8%), cavity (27.8%), pleural thickening (26.8%), para-cavitary fibrosis (18.6%), and fungal ball (6.2%). The Aspergillus-specific IgG positive were reported in 51 patients (52.6%), whereas Aspergillus sputum cultures were found in 43 patients (44.3%). Based on the analysis of those examinations, the diagnosis of CPA was determined in 28 patients (28.9%).

Conclusion: The detection of Aspergillus-specific IgG in 97 prior TB patients showed the positive results in 51 patients (52.6%). The clinical symptoms more than three months were fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss. The radiological features related to CPA were ectasis, cavitary lesions, pleural thickening, paracavitary fibrosis, and fungal ball. The prevalence of CPA based on those examinations was 28.9%."

Background: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a progressive, destructive lung disease mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus infection. The disease can be a complication of tuberculosis (TB) infection and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of CPA is still challenging because the clinical symptoms are not typical, and there are no fast and accurate diagnostic tools. Detection of IgG-specific Aspergillus using the immunochromatography (ICT) method is a quick and simple test to assist CPA diagnosis. The study aimed to determine the correlation between the ICT Aspergillus test and the clinical and radiological characteristics of CPA in TB-related patients.

Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in April 2019-July 2023 and was part of a previous study on CPA diagnosis in Indonesia. All sera of CPA patients were examined at the Clinical Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia for ICT Aspergillus detection, followed by analysis of the study results.

Result: Twenty-nine of the 54 patient sera showed positive results of ICT Aspergillus. There were more female (76%) than male patients, with the majority aged 30–60 years (74%). The most common clinical symptoms were fatigue (57%), cough ≥3 months (42%), hemoptysis (41%), shortness of breath (24%), and chest pain (20%). The most common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus (20%), cardiovascular diseases (11%), and COPD (9%). The dominant of radiological features were cavities (94%), followed by infiltrates (72%), and pleural thickening (55%). The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between positive ICT Aspergillus results and radiological features, including infiltrates, paracavity fibrosis, fibrosis, pleural effusion, consolidation, and bronchiectasis. However, the ICT Aspergillus did not show statistical significance with clinical characteristics.

Conclusion: The ICT Aspergillus detection in this study showed positive results of 54%. There was a significant correlation between ICT Aspergillus positive result with radiology features, but no significant correlation with clinical characteristics."

Background: Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation with decrease of mucocilliary clearance. The mature form of Aspergillus fumigatus spores could grow in this condition and caused an Aspergillus sensitization as an early progression to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Pulmonary aspergillosis could be diagnosed from a hypersensitivity reaction to the A. fumigatus antigen.

Methods : This cross-sectional study included 86 asthma patients with Asthma Control Test ACT score ≤ 24 and treated at Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta, Indonesia. Pulmonary aspergillosis was examined using specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) assay of A. fumigatus. The ABPA diagnostic in this study used the International Society of Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) criteria, which included two obligatory criteria (A. fumigatus-specific IgE and total IgE) and three additional criteria (A. fumigatus-specific IgG, blood eosinophil count, and thoracic x-ray). Lung function were examined using spirometry, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO).

Results: Uncontrolled asthma patients who had pulmonary aspergillosis was 3.5% (3/86) while the proportion of ABPA was 1.1% (1/86).  A history of prior pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) was correlated with aspergillosis in uncontrolled asthma patients (p=0.03). The median value of total IgE and blood eosinophil count in pulmonary aspergillosis subjects was 465 (22-1690) IU/mL and 380 (0-770) cells/µL, respectively. Spirometry results of pulmonary aspergillosis subjects were median FVC 1630 (950-2150) ml, mean predicted FVC% predicted value 70±33.71%, mean FEV1 1150 (470-1240) ml, median predicted FEV1% 54 (24-24)%, mean FEV1/FVC 59.33±14.57%, and mean DLCO 84.67±24.66%. The median FeNO in uncontrolled asthma with pulmonary aspergillosis in this study was 32 (12-45) ppb.

Conclusion: Diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with uncontrolled asthma should be carried out early, especially in patients with a history of pulmonary TB. This would prevent pulmonary aspergillosis in uncontrolled asthma from developing into ABPA disease and permanent lung damage."

"Latar belakang: Diagnosis aspergilosis paru invasif (API) cukup sulit dilakukan karena karakteristik klinis dan hasil pencitraan yang tidak spesifik. Biopsi tidak bisa dilakukan karena risiko komplikasi Deteksi antigen galaktomanan (GM) digunakan untuk metode noninvasif karena sensitivitas dan spesifisitas yang tinggi, namun mahal dan jarang tersedia. Uji imunodifusi (IDT) bisa menjadi alternatif karena lebih murah dan mudah, namun perlu diketahui akurasi IDT pada pasien terduga API. Tujuan: Mengetahui nilai diagnostik IDT dibandingkan terhadap deteksi GM dalam mendiagnosis API. Metode: Pengumpulan serum dilakukan di Laboratorium Departemen Parasitologi FKUI sejak Oktober 2019—Oktober 2020 pada pasien terduga API yang berasal dari berbagai rumah sakit di Jakarta. Serum diperiksan menggunakan IDT dan deteksi GM. Metode IDT menggunakan antigen crude Aspergillus buatan Laboratorium Departemen Parasitologi FKUI, sedangkan deteksi GM menggunakan kit PlateliaTM (Bio-Rad, Prancis). Hasil: Sebanyak 92 sampel serum pasien diuji. Proporsi hasil deteksi GM dan IDT berturut-turut sebesar 31.5% dan 42.4%. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sensitivitas dan spesifisitas IDT berturut-turut sebesar 33.33% dan 69.81%. Selain itu, rasio kemungkinan positif dan negatif berturut-turut sebesar 1.10 dan 0.95. Nilai duga positif dan negatif serta akurasi berturut-turut sebesar 44.83%, 58.73%, dan 54.35%.

Background: The diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (API) is quite challenging because of non-specific clinical characteristics and imaging results. A biopsy cannot be performed because of the risk of complications. Galactomannan antigen (GM) detection is used as a noninvasive method because of its high sensitivity and specificity, but it is expensive and rarely available. Immunodiffusion test (IDT) can be an alternative method, because it is cheaper and easier, but it is necessary to know the accuracy of IDT in patients suspected of API.

Objective: Determine the diagnostic value of Aspergillus IDT compared to GM detection in diagnosing API.

Methods: Serum collection was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory of FMUI from October 2019-October 2020 in patients suspected of API from various hospitals in Jakarta. The sera were examined using the Aspergillus IDT and GM detection. The IDT method uses crude Aspergillus antigen that was conducted at the Parasitology Laboratory of FMUI, while GM detection uses the PlateliaTM kit (Bio-Rad, France).

Results: A total of 92 patient serum samples were tested. The proportion of detection results for GM and IDT was 31.5% and 42.4%, respectively. The results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of IDT were 33.33% and 69.81%, respectively. Also, the positive and negative likelihood ratios are 1.10 and 0.95, respectively. Positive and negative predictive values and accuracy were 44.83%, 58.73%, and 54.35%, respectively. There was no difference in the proportion of IDT to GM detection (P> 0.05).

Conclusion: IDT diagnostic value is the same as compared to GM detection."

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lungs and other body organs. TB is a global problem that can only be cured with regular treatment, so patient’s adherence is required. This study aims to assess the level of patient knowledge and discuss patient treatment adherence at three Community Health Centers with the highest TB prevalence in Depok City. The design of this research was cross-sectional. The sample acquisition method was carried out using a total sampling technique using a questionnaire that had been tested for the validity and reliability, patient treatment cards (TB.01), patient identity cards (TB.02), and SITB. The data collected were primary data and secondary data with a total of 82 samples and analyzed using IBM®SPSS® version 27. The results showed that the majority of patients (50%) had a moderate level of knowledge regarding TB disease and treatment, while only 23 patients (28%) who had a poor level of knowledge and 18 patients (22%) with a good level of knowledge. The compliance level of pulmonary TB patients in the three health centers showed that 60 patients (73.2%) were compliant while 22 other patients (26.8%) were not compliant in carrying out treatment. Inferential statistical analysis shows that there is a strong correlation between patient knowledge and the level of patient compliance (p=0.000; r=0.652). The better the patient's knowledge, the more compliant the patient will be in carrying out treatment. Therefore, the role of health workers is very important in educating TB patients in order to increase their compliance"

Lung fungal infection can be caused by Aspergillus spp. causes chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) which often follows other chronic diseases, including pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). CPA data and its method of diagnosis in pulmonary TB patients in Indonesia are still limited. This study aims to compare the sensitivity of Aspergillusspecific antibody detection in pulmonary TB patients. This nested case-control design study is part of an umbrella study on the diagnosis of CPA in pulmonary TB patients in Jakarta. Sera of patients who met the inclusion criteria were examined using the ICT LDBio Aspergillus kit 2 times, namely at the beginning and at the end of TB treatment. The examination was carried out in March-October 2022 according to the protocol at the FKUI Parasitology Laboratory. Of the 71 pulmonary TB patients who met the inclusion criteria, the mean age was 44.35 ± 17.43. The result of ICT LDBio Aspergillus examination at the start of anti-tuberculosis therapy showed positive results in 4 of 71 (5.6%) patients, with a sensitivity of 11.54%, a specificity of 97.78%. At the end of antituberculosis therapy, the result of ICT LDBio Aspergillus examination also showed positive results in 5.6% of patients, with a sensitivity of 25% and a specificity of 96.83%. ICT LDBio Aspergillus results in 71 pulmonary TB patients in this study showed equivalent positive results at the beginning and end of anti-tuberculosis (5.6%), with lower sensitivity at the start of anti-tuberculosis (11.54%) than at the end of anti-tuberculosis (25%)."
