Based on WHO data, Ebola outbreaks have occurred since 2018. Ebola outbreaks are classified as level 3 emergencies. Level 3 emergencies is the highest level emergencies where events in one or many countries with high consequences for public health require a large response from the World Customs Organization (WCO) and World Health Organization (WHO). The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo was declared the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on July 17, 2019. Besides Ebola, other serious diseases that are endemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo are measles and cholera, so Congo needs support to strengthen the health system. The course of Ebola disease. The Ebola virus, formerly known as the Ebola hemorrhagic fever, was first discovered in 1976 in the Ebola River. At that time Ebola appeared in 2 outbreaks simultaneously : Nzara. South Sudan. Yambuku. Democratic Republic of the Congo. The year 2014-2016 was the highest Ebo...

Various countries have conducted research to find effective treatments against the type of SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 infection. SARS-CoV-2 structure. Characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 RNA : Single stranded beta RNA virus Coronavirus. Enveloped, positive-sense. Produces protein : Non-structural proteins : 3-chymotrypsin-like proteases, papain-like proteases, helicases, RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Structural protein : glycoprotein. Accessory protein. Potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 virus. Neutralizing antibodies. The mechanism of attachment of SARS-CoV-2 through bonding between protein S and receptors on the cell surface ➡ neutralizing antibodies that target S protein on the surface is considered to be a therapeutic choice ➡ after the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence is obtained ➡ a strategy using large animals (goats) , sheep, cattle) to make neutralizing antibodies ➡ after that polyclonal antibodies from these animals are purified ➡ for short-te...

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). Sub-family : alphaherpesviridae. Genus : varicelloriuses. Species : Human herpesvirus 3. Double stranded DNA virus. Heat sensitive. Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) causes infections of Varicella Zoster (Varicella/Chickenpox) and Herpes Zoster (Shingles). In the first infection Varicella ➡ then the next infection becomes Herpes Zoster. Cases of Varicella in tropical countries generally occur in children, whereas cases of Shingles often occur in adulthood. This disease can be prevented by vaccination. Pathogenesis. Varicella Zoster Virus infection is transmitted through : Air from coughing / sneezing. Direct contact with fluids from vesicles. Lifecycle of the Varicella Zoster Virus.  Viral infection begins with replication of respiratory tract mucosal epithelial cells atas local replication followed by spread to tonsils and regional lymphoid tissue ➡ infected T cells will carry the virus to the replication site in...

Corona virus. Ordo : nidovirales. Family : coronaviridae. Genus : Alpha corona virus. Beta corona virus. Delta corona virus. Gamma corona virus. Group : Group IV ((+) ssRNA). Human coronaviruses (which cause out breaks). MERS-Cov : beta coronavirus causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). SARS-Cov : beta coronavirus that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). 2019 Coronavirus Novel (COVID-19). Specimens for diagnosis. Specimen types and priorities for improving detection : Taking 3 types of specimens from the upper respiratory tract, lower respiratory tract and serum. Taking other specimens, such as urine and feces for further examination in the laboratory. Specimens must be taken as soon as the patient falls under the Patients Under Investigation criteria regardless of the symptom onset. Pay attention to infection prevention and control when taking specimens. Nasopharyngeal Swab and Oropharyngeal Swab. Nasopharyngeal Swab ➡ I...

Internet addiction. Addiction is a disorder that has a significant effect on physical and psychological health. Mobile is a physical object that is used to access the internet with all content. Mobile addiction is related to personality problems that are influenced by open technology. Diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder, which is a persistent and recurrent use of the internet, resulting in disturbances or distress with several criteria for 12 months. Nettox Watch. Nettox stands for Internet Detox, which is a device used on the wrist and functions to regulate the use of mobile phones. This tool has features to measure levels of oxygen and hemoglobin bonds, heart rate variability (HRV). Nettox Watch is a tool created by Indonesian University students Research shows that prolonged use of mobile phones has side effects on levels of Heart Rate Variability (HRV). If there are decreased HRV and oxygen levels and do not match normal values, Nettox will warn the us...

Kissing is one form of expression of affection that is often done. However, transmission of Stomatitis can occur due to kissing. Stomatitis indications in the form of oral cavity ulceration, include : Immune system deficiency. Cancer. Infection. Indigestion. Blood disorders. Side effects after taking certain drugs. There are two conditions that are often found, namely : Recurrent Aftose Stomatitis : immunological. Herpetic stomatitis : occurs due to herpes simplex virus infection. Recurrent Aftose Stomatitis. Clinical symptoms : Oval or round ulcerations. Shallow. Clear outline. Reddish colored. Ulceration is generally located in the non-keratinous part of the mouth, such as : Labial mucosa. Buccal mucosa. Ventral tongue. Recurrent Aftosa Stomatitis will cause burning pain when there is movement in the ulcer area and it is difficult to chew food. Recurrent Aftose Stomatitis has 3 clinical types, namely : Recurrent Minor Aftosa St...

Conditions ➡ Atopic dermatitis. Location : Face. Elbow. Knee. Form of lesion : Erythema plaque. Excoriation. Very dry skin. Scaly. Vesicular lesions. Special Characteristics : Petekie on the palate. Strawberry tongue (white). The CAN test is positive for streptococcal infection. Condition ➡ Tinea infection. Location : Can infect all areas of the skin. Form of lesion : Alopecia or damaged hair follicles on the scalp (tinea capitis). Patch or erythematous round plaque with raised edge and a clean center on the body (tinea corporis). Special Characteristics : Pityriasis rosea is often suspected. Microscopy examination with potassium hydroxide staining can help make the diagnosis. Condition ➡ Impetigo. Location : Nose and mouth. Form of lesion : Vesicles or pustules that form thick yellow crusts. Special Characteristics : Can be a primary or secondary infection. The shape of bullae is typical ...
