"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%. Tidak ada beda proporsi IDT terhadap deteksi GM (P>0.05) Simpulan: Nilai diagnostik IDT sama dibandingkan terhadap deteksi GM.

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."

"Latar belakang: Tuberkulosis paru (TB) merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya aspergillosis paru kronik (APK). Keduanya sulit dibedakan karena gejala APK tidak spesifik dan mirip dengan TB. Diagnosis APK ditegakkan berdasarkan gejala klinis, pemeriksaan pencitraan dan laboratorium mikologi. Pemeriksaan serologi dengan metode presipitasi atau Immunodiffusion test (IDT) sudah dikembangkan sejak lama, murah dan mudah dilakukan, tetapi dianggap kurang akurat. Pemeriksaan deteksi antibodi immunoglobulin G (IgG) spesifik Aspergillus dengan metode enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) merupakan salah satu metode diagnosis APK. Metode ini cukup mahal dan belum dilakukan rutin di daerah dengan sumber daya terbatas. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan hasil pemeriksaan IDT Aspergillus dengan pemeriksaan IgG spesifik Aspergillus pada pasien bekas TB di RSUP Persahabatan. Metode: Penelitian dengan desain uji diagnostik ini dilakukan sejak April 2019 - November 2020 dengan metode consecutive sampling. Pasien yang direkrut merupakan pasien bekas TB dari RSUP Persahabatan Jakarta. Pemeriksaan IDT dan IgG spesifik Aspergillus dilakukan di Laboratorium Departemen Parasitologi FKUI.Hasil: Dari 80 pasien bekas TB di RSUP Persahabatan sesuai kriteria inkulsi, sebanyak 57 pasien laki-laki (71,3%) dan 23 pasien perempuan (28,7%). Rerata usia pasien adalah 50,98±2,79 tahun, median indeks massa tubuh pasien sebesar (IMT) 18,37. Proporsi hasil pemeriksaan IDT pada pasien bekas TB adalah 36,25%, sedangkan IgG spesifik Aspergillus metode ELISA sebesar 48,75%. Nilai akurasi diagnostik IDT dibandingkan terhadap IgG spesifik Aspergillus metode ELISA menunjukkan sensitivitas 30,77%, spesifisitas 58,54%, nilai prediktif positif 41,38%, nilai prediktif negatif 47,06% dan nilai measurement of agreement dengan cohen’s kappa sebesar -0,108.Simpulan: Metode IDT memiliki akurasi lebih rendah dibandingkan IgG spesifik Aspergillus metode ELISA, sehingga penggunaan IgG spesifik Aspergillus lebih direkomendasikan. Teknik IDT dapat digunakan jika sumber daya terbatas, namun perlu dilakukan standarisasi antigen untuk pemeriksaan tersebut.

Background: Lung Tuberculosis (LTB) is a risk factor of developing chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). Both diseases are still difficult to differentiate because clinical presentation of CPA is not specific and similar to LTB. Diagnosis of CPA is confirmed by clinical presentation, radiographic examination and mycology laboratory tests. Serological testing using the precipitation method or immunodiffusion test (IDT) has long been conducted. It is a cheap and easy-to-do method, however the accuracy is not satisfied. Detection of the Aspergillus specific immunogobulin G (IgG) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the keys in diagnosing CPA. However, this method is more expensive and has not been conducted routinely in areas with limited resources.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the results of IDT Aspergillus compare to Aspergillus-specific IgG with ELISA in previous TB patients at Persahabatan Hospital.

Method: This diagnostic study was conducted from April 2019 - November 2020 and recruitment was performed by consecutive sampling. Patients recruited were previous TB patients from Persahabatan General Hospital; while IDT and specific Aspegillus IgG tests were conducted at Laboratory of Parasitology Dept, FMUI.

Conclusion: From 80 previous TB patients from the Persahabatan Hospital that met the inclusion criteria, 57 patients were male (71,3%) and 23 were female (28,7). Mean age was 50,98±2,79 years, median of patients body mass index (BMI) was 18,37. The proportion of old TB patients with positive IDT results was 36,25% and patients with positive IgG results was 48,75%. The diagnostic accuracy of IDT compared to IgG ELISA was 30,77% sensitivity, 58,54% spesificity, 41,38% positive predictive value, 47,06% negative predictive value and the measurement of agreement using cohen’s kappa was -0,108.

Summary: IDT Aspergillus is less accurate compared to Aspergillus-specific IgG ELISA. Therefore the use of Aspergillus-specific IgG ELISA is recommended as a serological test. The IDT method can be used at limited resources facilities, but it is necessary to standardize the antigen for the test."

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."

Introduction: Indonesia has high tuberculosis (TB) burden. The resulting lung damage underlies chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) development. CPA is diagnosed in patients with evidence of Aspergillus involvement as one of its criteria. Taking into account the limitations of culture, ELISA antibody detection becomes alternative modality. This study aims to compare diagnostic performance between manual and automated ELISA for Aspergillus-specific IgG in patients with treated TB. Method: This cross-sectional study compares Aspergillus-specific IgG test using Bordier manual ELISA and Immulite automated ELISA on sera from patients with treated TB. Diagnostic performance was compared in positive test proportion, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV). Result: There are 68 subjects, with median age of 34,5 years, elderly subjects proportion of 11,76%, male proportion of 42,65%. Positive results proportion from Aspergillus-specific IgG manual and automated ELISA are 13,24% and 48,53%, respectively. Manual ELISA shows 20,83% sensitivity, 90,91% specificity, 55,56% PPV, 67,80% NPV. Automated ELISA shows 91,67% sensitivity, 75% specificity, 66,67% PPV, 94,29% NPV. Conclusion: Technical and diagnostic performance of automated ELISA Aspergillus-specific IgG test is better than manual ELISA, but choosing diagnostic modality needs consideration on factors such as affordability, accessibility, and accuracy according to the needs and available resources."

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%."

Pulmonary aspergillosis is an opportunistic infection caused by Aspergillus spp mold. The incidence of this infection has dramatically increased which is related to the increasing utilization of immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids and cytotoxic therapy. Diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis has been challenging since not only the signs and symptoms of the disease are nonspecific, but also tissue biopsy as gold standard is considered invasive. Sputum culture and antibody detection has been routine examinations done to the patient with suspected pulmonary aspergillosis sent to the Mycology Laboratory of Department of Parasitology FMUI, but the diagnostic value of antibody detection is not available.

The aim of this study is to compare antibody detection with immunodiffusion method using crude antigen of Aspergillus with sputum culture as reference test. This cross sectional study used 689 samples obtained from medical records of patients with suspected pulmonary aspergillosis who undergo both sputum culture examination and antibody detection in Mycology Laboratory of Department of Parasitology FMUI in 2008 2015. Descriptive analysis showed the prevalence of pulmonary aspergillosis based on positive culture result is 0,4. The sensitivity and specificity of antibody detection are 33,33 and 95,62 respectively, resulted from diagnostic test using 2x2 table. Statistical analysis using McNemar rsquo. test shows significant difference between mentioned examinations and low level of agreement Kappa 0,026."

"Latar Belakang: Kanker paru merupakan salah satu kanker yang paling sering terjadi dan menyebabkan angka kematian yang cukup tinggi. Salah satu komplikasi yang dapat timbul adalah infeksi oportunistik berupa mikosis paru. Mikosis paru masih jarang dikenali, padahal menyebabkan beban kesehatan dan peningkatan laju mortalitas. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah diagnosis yang masih menjadi tantangan karena tidak spesifiknya gejala klinis dan uji diagnosis tidak invasif yang ada juga masih belum diketahui kepastian tingkat akurasinya. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kaitan berupa nilai akurasi hasil diagnosis immunodiffusion test (IDT) dibandingkan dengan profil IgG spesifik Aspergillus. Metode: Metode penelitian ini adalah dengan uji laboratorium IDT dan IgG spesifik Aspergillus dengan desain studi potong lintang. Pemeriksaan IDT menggunakan crude antigen Aspergillus sedangkan pemeriksaan IgG spesifik Aspergillus menggunakan kit komersial Dynamiker dengan hasil positif jika nilai absorbansi di atas 120 AU/mL. Hasil: Berdasarkan 70 subjek didapatkan karakteristik sebagai berikut yaitu subjek umumnya berjenis kelamin laki-laki 61,4% (n=43), berusia di atas 60 tahun 54,3% (n=38), memiliki riwayat merokok 60,0% (n=42) dengan indeks Brinkmann berat 31,4% (n=22). Pasien umumnya memiliki jenis histologi berupa adenokarsinoma 74,3% (n=52) dengan stadium IIIB-IV sebesar 78,6% (n=55) dan tampilan status kategori PS 1 40,0% (n=28). Prevalensi aspergillosis berdasarkan IgG spesifik Aspergillus pada penelitian ini adalah 25,7%, sedangkan prevalensi jika menggunakan IDT sebesar 42,9%. Nilai akurasi IDT dengan IgG spesifik Aspergillus sebagai baku emas menunjukkan tingkat sensitivitas 44,4% (IK95% 21,5%-67,4%), spesifisitas 57,7% (IK95% 44,3%-71,1%), nilai duga positif 26,7% (IK95% 10,8%-42,5%), dan nilai duga negatif 75,0% (IK95% 61,6%-88,4%) dan nilai Kappa sebesar 0.017. Selain itu, terdapat hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara jenis kelamin dan indeks brinkmann terhadap hasil pemeriksaan IDT Aspergillus (p<0.05). Kesimpulan: IDT bukan merupakan metode diagnosis yang baik dan perlu adanya validasi terhadap crude antigen yang digunakan.

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and causes a high mortality rate. One of the complications that can arise is an opportunistic infection in the form of pulmonary mycosis. Pulmonary mycosis is rarely recognized, even though it causes a health burden and an increased mortality rate. One of the causes is the method of diagnosis which is still a challenge because the clinical symptoms are not specific and the existing non-invasive diagnostic tests are not yet known for its exact level of accuracy.

Aim: This study aims to determine the correlation in the form of accuracy value of the immunodiffusion test (IDT) diagnostic results compared to the Aspergillus-specific IgG profile.

Method: The method of this research was laboratory tests in forms of IDT and Aspergillus-specific IgG with cross-sectional study design. IDT test used crude antigen while Aspergillus-specific IgG test used a commercial Dynamiker Kit with a positive result if the absorbance value above 120 AU/mL.

Results: Based on 70 subjects, the characteristics of the subjects are mainly male 61.4% (n=42) with age over 60 years old 54.3% (n=43), had a history of smoking 60% (n=42) with a severe Brinkmann index 31.4% (n=22). Subjects generally had a histological type of adenocarcinoma 74.3% (n=52) with stage IIIB-IV 78.6% (n=55) and performance status category PS1 40.0% (n=28). The prevalence of aspergillosis in this study was 25.7% using Aspergillus-specific IgG, while the prevalence when using IDT was 42.9%. The IDT accuracy value with Aspergillus-specific IgG as the gold standard showed a sensitivity level of 0.444 (95%CI 0.215-0.674), a specificity of 0.577 (95% CI 0.443-0.711), a positive predictive value of 0.267 (95% CI 0.108-0.425), and a negative predictive value of 0.750 (95% CI 0.616-0.884) and the Kappa value is 0.017. In addition, there was a statistically significant relationship between gender and the Brinkmann index on the results of the Aspergillus IDT examination (p <0.05).

Conclusion: IDT is not a good diagnostic method and it is still necessary to validate the crude antigen used."

"Latar Belakang : Asma merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronik saluran napas dengan fungsi bersihan mukosilier yang menurun, maka itu bentuk matur dari spora Aspergillus fumigatus bisa tumbuh dan membuat sensitisasi Aspergillus yang merupakan kondisi awal aspergillosis paru pada asma dan dapat berkembang menjadi Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). Penegakkan diagnosis aspergillosis paru didapatkan jika reaksi hipersensitisasi terhadap antigen A.fumigatus positif.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode potong lintang pada 86 pasien asma yang berobat ke RSUP Persahabatan dengan nilai Asthma Control Test (ACT) ≤ 24. Subjek penelitian dibagi 2 kelompok berdasarkan sensitisasi Aspergillus. Penilaian aspergillosis paru menggunakan pemeriksaan Imunoglobulin E (IgE) spesifik A.fumigatus. Kriteria diagnosis ABPA yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan kriteria International Society of Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) yaitu dua kriteria obligatory (IgE spesifik A.fumigatus dan IgE total) serta 3 kriteria tambahan (IgG spesifik A.fumigatus, eosinofil total, gambaran foto toraks). Pemeriksaan fungsi paru dilakukan pada penelitian ini termasuk spirometri, kapasitas difusi paru karbon monoksida (DLCO) dan nitrit oksida udara ekspirasi (FeNO).Hasil : Proporsi pasien asma tidak terkontrol yang memiliki aspergillosis paru didapatkan 3,5% (3/86) sedangkan proporsi ABPA didapatkan 1,1% (1/86). Terdapat faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi aspergillosis paru pada asma tidak terkontrol, diantaranya adalah nilai IMT (p=0,77), riwayat merokok (p=0,86) dan riwayat TB paru (p=0,03)..

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."

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%)."

"Latar belakang: Aspergilosis Paru Invasif merupakan penyakit yang berbahaya dan berisiko tinggi kematian. Penelitian mengenai skoring sebelumnya berdasarkan parameter risiko klinis dan biomarker baru untuk memprediksi API. Pada penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan parameter sederhana untuk mendiagnosa API. Tujuan: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model diagnosis API berdasarkan karakteristik klinis, laboratorium, foto toraks dan komorbid. Metode: Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan desain potong lintang, secara retrospeksif, menggunakan data rekam medis di RS Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) sejak Januari 2018 hingga Desember 2022. Model determinan diagnosis Aspergilosis Paru Invasif dikembangkan dari analisis multivariat dengan regresi logistik kemudian diuji performa dan validitas internalnya. Hasil: Total sampel sebanyak 227 pasien dengan eksklusi sebanyak 20 pasien dan yang dilakukan analisis sebanyak 207 pasien. Dua ratus tujuh subjek terdiri dari 110 pasien API dan 97 pasien non-API. Pada penelitian ini demam memiliki skor 2, konsolidasi memiliki skor 2, fibrosis memiliki skor 1, jumlah neutrofil absolut memiliki skor 1, penggunaan steroid memiliki skor 2, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) memiliki skor 1. AUC =0.771, p< 0.05 yang menunjukkan hasil performa skor sedang untuk membedakan faktor determinan API. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menghasilkan diagnosis API,demam skor 2, konsolidasi skor 2, fibrosis skor 1, jumlah neutrofil absolut skor 1, penggunaan steroid skor 2, NLR skor 1. Skor 0-4 memiliki probabilitas 43,67% atau risiko rendah dan skor 5-8 memliki probabilitas 83,67% atau risiko tinggi faktor-faktor determinan API.

Background: The diagnosis of IPA is complex because it relies on clinical, radiological, and microbiological criteria. Microbiology is at the core of most diagnostic tests/criteria; however, the results take a lot of time. Researchers use a combination of clinical, radiological, laboratory, and comorbid characteristics to diagnose IPA. Objective : This study aims developed IPA diagnosis model based on clinical characteristics, chest X Ray and patients comorbid. Method: This research was carried out with cross sectional design, retrospectively, using medical record data at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) from January 2018 to December 2022. The determinant model for the diagnosis of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis was developed from multivariate analysis with logistic regression and then tested for performance and internal validity. Results: The total sample was 227 patients with the exclusion of 20 patients and 207 patients were analyzed. Two hundred seven subjects consisted of 115 IPA patients and 92 non-IPA patients. In the multivariate analysis this study involved fever, consolidation, fibrosis, absolute neutrophil count, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and steroid used. In this study, fever had a score of 2, consolidation had a score of 2, fibrosis had a score of 1, absolute neutrophil count had a score of 1, steroid had a score of 2. AUC = 0.771, p< 0.05. Conclusion: This study resulted in a diagnosis of API, fever score 2, consolidation score 2, fibrosis score 1, absolute neutrophil count score 1, steroid score 2. A score of 0-4 has a probability of 43.67% or low risk and a score of 5-8 has a probability of 83.67% or high risk API determinant factors."
