ABSTRACT

tuberculosis, stunting, family medicine.

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a serious health problem in the world. TB in children is an important indicator of transmission. Tuberculosis in children occurs at the age of 0-14 years. Indonesia has a high burden of TB disease, especially in Banten Province. The global prevalence of TB in 2021 increased by around 600,000 cases compared to 2022 of 10.6 million cases. The purpose of this study is to know, analyze and help solve problems faced by patients. The methods in this report are used to confirm the diagnosis of RO TB based on the Mtb susceptibility test using phenotypic and genotypic TCM and LPA methods. Diagnosis of tuberculosis in suspected TB is carried out by TCM examination. Based on the plotting results, there is a girl with the initials S who is diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and is short in stature, so it is necessary to intervene through a family medicine approach. After intervening holistically and comprehensively, An's complaint. S is showing improvement and is currently still undergoing treatment. The source of TB transmission in An is known to S is thought to come from the patient's grandfather. TB infection experienced by patients has an impact on inhibiting patient growth so that the patient's height and weight do not increase. After thorough treatment and education, the patient's family understands TB disease, transmission, and prevention. It is hoped that treatment can be carried out completely and can achieve age-appropriate growth.

INTRODUCTION

Family medicine is a branch of medical science that provides sustainable and comprehensive health services for an individual or family (Sari & Sibuea, 2019). This medical science is a broad branch that combines biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences. Family medicine covers all age groups, all genders, all organ systems, and all diseases ( Syalfina et al., 2017). Family physicians have a responsibility to provide personalized health services to their patients in a comprehensive, ongoing, and proactive manner. They also pay attention to the patient's role as a member of the family and community in which they live. The services provided include efforts to improve health (promotive), prevention (preventive), treatment (curative), and rehabilitation (Rosyanti & Hadi, 2020).

Until now, Tuberculosis (TB) is still a serious health problem in the world. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most often attacks the lungs and is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one million children suffer from TB disease every year. Children and young adolescents represent approximately 11% of TB cases globally. TB in children occurs at the age of 0-15 years and is an important indicator of transmission. The highest number of pediatric TB cases occurs in children under 5 years of age and in adolescents over 10 years old (Mardiati & Fitri, 2023).

Factors that influence TB infection include host factors, exposure factors, and the home environment. A risk factor for TB infection in children is household contact with adults suffering from active TB. Environmental risk factors include ventilation, room temperature, natural lighting, humidity, and population density. Nutritional status has a significant relationship with the incidence of TB. Malnutrition impacts the body's immune system, making it susceptible to infection (Sulaiman et al., 2023).

WHO findings in 2021 reported that TB is the second deadliest infectious disease in the world after Covid-19 (Pradipta et al., 2023). The global prevalence reported in 2021 was 10.6 million cases, an increase of around 600,000 cases compared to 2020, which recorded 10 million cases. Of the total 10.6 million cases, 60.3% of individuals have received treatment. There are 6 million adult male cases, 3.4 million cases in adult female patients, and 1.2 million cases in children. The WHO region of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific accounted for most of the global reduction (compared with 2019): 84% of the total in 2020, and 99% in 2021.

Indonesia is ranked third with the highest number of TB cases in the world after India and China, with 824 thousand cases and 93 thousand deaths each year (Utami et al., 2019) . In 2022, the Ministry of Health identified more than 700 thousand TB cases. WHO classifies Indonesia as one of the countries with a high burden of TB (HBC ). There were 29,153 TB cases in children aged 0-14 years reported by the national TB program in 2019. As many as 35% of TB cases in children were not reported to the national TB program.

The rate (CNR ) of new cases of Acid-Resistant Bacillus ( BTA) in Banten Province in 2022 is 168 per 100,000 population, with Tangerang Regency being the highest with the number of cases at 5,503 per 100,000 population. Tangerang City is in second place with the number of cases at 3,166 per 100,000 population. The proportion of TB cases recorded in children in Banten in 2020 was 1,551 cases out of a total of 19,979 cases of pulmonary TB reported. South Tangerang City tops the list with 442 cases, followed by Tangerang City with 358 cases, and Tangerang Regency with 357 cases. (Kusnowibowo, 2021) . In the working area of the Kresek Community Health Center, in the period January 2022 – June 2022, 5 new cases of pediatric pulmonary TB were found. In July 2022 – December 2022, 3 new cases were found, and this increased in the period January 2023 – May 2023 with 7 new cases.

A link between malnutrition and Tuberculosis has been demonstrated. However, a causal relationship is difficult to prove because TB can have an insidious onset, and the duration of the disease before diagnosis is difficult to determine, making it difficult to know which occurred first. (Pewa, 2019) . Weight loss and malnutrition in tuberculosis sufferers can be caused by decreased food intake or factors resulting from Tuberculosis. The altered metabolism of Tuberculosis can cause a so-called anabolic block, where dietary protein is used more for energy production than anabolism. (ALAINA et al., 2019) . Malnutrition itself can cause stunting. Stunting is a growth and development disorder experienced by children due to chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation (Mukhsin et al., 2023).

A 3-year-old boy was a patient from the Kresek Community Health Center who came with complaints of shortness of breath. Then, the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary TB in January 2023 and is currently in the fifth month of treatment. Apart from that, it was also found that the patient had growth problems, where, based on the plotting results, it was found that the patient had a short stature. Stunting and TB are interconnected cases; apart from that, the source of infection transmission to the child is not yet known, and the family lacks knowledge, so this case is interesting for family case visits. (Sumantri, nd) .

Based on the background above, the aim of this research is to find out and analyze. This visit can help solve the problems faced by patients. A series of interventions are needed with the aim of healing from pulmonary Tuberculosis, preventing worsening of the patient's condition, and treating growth problems, as well as finding the source of infection to prevent transmission of the disease to people around them.

The benefits of this study are to increase understanding of pulmonary tuberculosis and short stature, improved early diagnosis, more holistic health management, recommendations for best practices, increased public awareness and education, contribution to scientific research, and improved quality of life for patients.

CASE REPORT

A male patient aged 3 years 10 months was examined on June 13, 2023, at 10:00 WIB at the children's clinic at the Kresek Community Health Center with the main complaint of cough accompanied by shortness of breath and fever since 3 days ago. Shortness of breath appears if the cough becomes worse. Cough and shortness of breath are not affected by activity and do not improve with rest. History of asthma denied (Danu et al., 2021). Fever is felt especially at night. The patient's mother also said that the patient sweats a lot at night. Currently, the patient is undergoing OAT therapy, which will start in January 2023. OAT medication is taken every day after breakfast at 07.00 in the morning. The mother also complained that the child's height and weight had not increased since 5 months ago. The patient eats large meals 3 times a day with a less varied menu, namely white rice with fish or chicken eggs. The patient does not like to eat vegetables and does not drink milk (Makbalin, 2019). From the results of the physical examination carried out on June 13, 2023, it was found that the patient appeared mildly ill, pulse 87x/min, respiratory rate 22x/min, temperature 36.6OC, weight 11.5 kg, TB 93 cm, BMI 13.2 kg/m2. From the plotting results, it was found that BB/U was between -2 and -3 (low weight), TB/U was between -2 and -3 (short), BB/TB was between -1 and -2 (good nutrition), and BMI/U was below -1 (Good Nutrition).

 

METHOD

The method in this report is used to confirm the diagnosis of RO TB based on Mtb susceptibility testing using both phenotypic and genotypic TCM and LPA methods. The diagnosis of TB in suspected TB is carried out by TCM examination. Diagnosis of TB is carried out by microscopic examination. Suppose the TB suspect is in the RO TB suspect group. In that case, efforts must still be made to establish a TB diagnosis with TCM TB by making a referral to the nearest TCM service. Patients with Mtb Rif Res results from the low TB RO risk group must undergo TCM re-examination using a new sputum specimen of better quality. If the TCM results are indeterminate, carry out another TCM examination. If the results remain the same, give 1st line treatment and perform culture and sensitivity testing (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2020a).
