Abstrak :
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a double-stranded DNA virus and a member of the Herpesviridae family. Cytomegalo- virus infection is one of the important causes of mortality and morbidity in immunocompromised patients. This is a case report of 72 year-old immunocompromised male patient with worsening cough needing an intubation despite previous adequate antibiotic administration. Further examination showed positive CMV infection. The patient showed improvement after administration of ganciclovir.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) merupakan suatu virus DNA rantai ganda, yang termasuk dalam famili Herpesviridae. Infeksi CMV merupakan salah satu penyebab penting mortalitas dan morbiditas pada pasien-pasien imunokompromais. Tulisan ini melaporkan kasus seorang pasien pria imunokompromais berusia 72 tahun dengan batuk yang semakin memburuk hingga perlu dilakukan intubasi, meskipun sebelumnya telah diberikan terapi antibiotik yang adekuat. Pemeriksaan lebih lanjut menunjukkan adanya positif infeksi CMV. Pasien menunjukkan adanya perbaikan setelah pemberian ganciclovir.

Pendahuluan: Interaksi Cryptococcus neoformans dengan makrofag mempengaruhi kejadian kriptokokosis meningeal, infeksi oportunistik fatal pada populasi AIDS, dimana pada keadaan imunokompromi, kemampuan fagositosis makrofag terganggu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aktifitas fagositik makrofag penderita HIV, profil sitokin yang terbentuk serta pengaruh pemberian obat anti retroviral. Metode: Desain penelitian eksploratif-analitik terhadap interaksi makrofag-C. neoformans. Makrofag pasien HIV dan orang sehat (selanjutnya disebut Kasus dan Kontrol). Penelitian mencakup pengukuran kadar nitrit petanda aktivasi makrofag, uji indeks internalisasi jamur (IIJ), laju fagositosis (LF), dan daya bunuh (DB) makrofag terhadap jamur yang diamati pada menit ke 30, 120 dan 240. Selain itu juga diteliti profil sitokin yang terbentuk (IL-5, IL-10, IL-6, TNF-?, IFN-?) dan uji serologis terhadap plasma menggunakan Cryptococcus antigen lateral flow assay (CrAg-LFA). Hasil: Terkumpul 38 Kasus dan 42 Kontrol dengan hasil uji LFA seluruh subyek, Kasus maupun Kontrol, negatif. Kadar nitrit yang terbentuk lebih tinggi pada kelompok Kontrol. IIJ makrofag Kasus lebih tinggi pada T30 dan T120. LF makrofag kontrol lebih tinggi pada T30 dan T120. DB makrofag Kontrol jauh lebih tinggi dibanding makrofag Kasus pada seluruh pengamatan. Pola sitokin yang terbentuk oleh makrofag kasus mengarah ke sitokin anti inflamasi (IL-5 dan IL-10 tinggi), sedangkan pola sitokin yng terbentuk oleh makrofag Kontrol mengarah ke sitokin pro inflamasi (IL-6 dan IFN-? tinggi) kecuali untuk TNF-? yang lebih tinggi pada supernatan makrofag Kasus. Pembahasan: Aktifitas fagositik makrofag Kasus terganggu, ditandai dengan daya bunuh yang jauh lebih rendah. Selain itu, tingginya kadar sitokin pro inflamasi pada populasi kontrol menunjukkan pembersihan jamur yang lebih efektif sedangkan sitokin anti-inflamasi yang lebih tinggi pada subjek terinfeksi HIV memungkinkan terjadinya parasitisme intraseluler makrofag oleh C. neoformans. Kesimpulan: terdapat perbedaan daya bunuh dan pola sitokin pro dan anti inflamasi pada subjek terinfeksi HIV dibanding kontrol. ......Introduction: interaction of Cryptococcus neoformans-macrophage affecting the incidence of cryptococcal meningitis, a fatal opportunistic infection in AIDS population. In immunocompromised condition, macrophage phagocytic activity was impaired. This study aimed to analyze phagocytic activity of macrophage derived from HIV infected individuals against C. neoformans, the cytokine profile and the role of antiretroviral therapy in that interaction. Method: using explorative-analytical design on the interaction between macrophageyeast seen as: internalization index, phagocytic rate, killing ability, production of cytokine and NO. We also tested the plasma against Cryptococcus antigen lateral flow assay (CrAg-LFA). Result: out of 38 HIV(+) subjects and 42 healthy subject all were negatif for LFA. Nitrite formed were higher in the Control group. Internalization index were higher in the Cases group, Phagocytosis rate were higher in the Control group: Killing ability were far superior in the Control group. Cytokine profile of the Cases group were anti inflammatory (higher IL-5 and IL-10) while in the Control group, were more pro inflammatory (higher IL-6 and IFN-?) with the exception of TNF-? which was higher in the Cases group. Discussion: the higher level of pro-inflammatory cytokine among control group represent a more effective clearance of fungal by macrophages while higher level of anti-inflamatory cytokine among HIV+vderived macrophage indicates profound intracellular parasitism of macrophage by C. neoformans. Conclusion: there is difference of killing ability, NO production and antiinflammatory cytokine production among macrophage derived from healthy subjects that showed us a more effective fungal clearance and activation of macrophage.

A patient is said to be immuno-compromised (1C) if one or more of his or her natural and adaptive defense mechanisms are unable to function normally. Thus, immuno-compromised patients are easily susceptible to infection. Aim of study; to determine the immune response in immuno-compromised patients that makes them easily susceptible to infection. Method: the study was designed as a cross-sectional analytic observational study using multi-variant statistical tests. The samples were classified into the 1C and Non-iC groups, consisting of 14 people, 10 men, and 4 women, who were examined far the following immunologi-cal variables: IL-10, IFN-y, TNF-a, IL-I& IgG, C3, and C4. The results demonstrated a significant difference in the immune response of subjects from the 1C and NIC groups (p<0.05), with a significantly higher TNF-Ct, IL-10 and IgG levels, and a lower C3 level in the 1C group. Conclusion: during 1C conditions, there is a disorder in the natural as well as adaptive C3 natural immune system, making patients more susceptible to infection.

Salmonella as a causative agent in septic bursitis is considered rare. We report a case of 56 years old male with history of renal transplantation and using mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine and methylprednisolone as maintenance, admitted due to 3 week fever associated with tenderness and swelling on left shoulder. Upon investigation, a diagnosis of septic bursitis was established. Salmonella enteritidis as the definitive causative agent was revealed. He was treated with meropenem 1g IV three times daily and levofloxacin 500 mg IV once a day for 3 weeks, followed by oral ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for 2 weeks and oral metronidazole 500 mg three times a day for 1 week with a total duration of 5 weeks of antibiotics. On the subsequent follow up there was no recurrence episode of fever and the swelling of the left shoulder subsided, no tenderness noted and the patient has no limitation of range of movement. Since immunocompromised state complicates the management, the duration of therapy may twice longer than the typical management of septic bursitis. Salmonella as etiologic agent should be considered as differential in immunocompromised patient with septic bursitis.
