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: 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%."

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."

"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 (TB) dapat menimbulkan komplikasi yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Aspergillus spp, yaitu Aspergillosis Paru Kronik (APK) pada kavitasi di paru. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) otomatis dan Uji Imunokromatografi (ICT) adalah dua dari metode-metode yang menunjang diagnosis klinis APK. Kedua metode tersebut mendeteksi antibodi Aspergillus spp. Keduanya memiliki keunggulan dan kekurangan masing-masing, namun belum ada studi yang membandingkan hasil dari performa diagnosis APK kedua uji tersebut pada pasien akhir pengobatan TB. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Pemeriksaan ELISA otomatis subjek memiliki ambang > 11,5 sebagai hasil positif. Pemeriksaan ICT subjek memiliki hasil positif jika terlihat garis pada masing-masing kolom T dan C, sedangkan hasil positif hanya terlihat satu garis pada kolom C. Hasil: Jumlah subjek keseluruhan adalah 62 subjek dan diperoleh 20 (32,3%) subjek terdiagnosis APK. Hasil positif pemeriksaan ELISA otomatis adalah 27 (43,5%) subjek, sedangkan pemeriksaan ICT adalah 2 (3,2%) subjek. Sensitivitas dan spesifisitas ELISA otomatis masing-masing adalah 75% dan 71,43%, sedangkan ICT adalah 10% dan 100%. Simpulan: ELISA otomatis memiliki performa diagnosis yang lebih baik dibandingkan ICT untuk diagnosis APK, namun ELISA otomatis masih belum tersedia secara adekuat di wilayah Indonesia sehingga penggunaan ICT tetap digunakan sebagai pemeriksaan APK.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) can cause complications caused by Aspergillus spp infection, namely Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) in cavitation of the lungs. Automated Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Immunochromatography Test (ICT) are two of the methods that support the clinical diagnosis of CPA. Both methods detect Aspergillus spp. antibodies. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but there is no study that compares the results of the diagnostic performance of the CPA of the two tests in patients at the end of TB treatment.

Methods: This research was analytic descriptive with a cross-sectional design. Automated ELISA examination of subjects had a threshold > 11.5 as a positive result. ICT examination of subjects had positive results if there was a line in each T and C columns, while positive results only showed one line in C column.

Results: The total number of subjects were 62 subjects and 20 (32.3%) subjects diagnosed with CPA. Subjects showed positive results of automated ELISA examination were 27 (43.5%) subjects, while ICT examinations were 2 (3.2%) subjects. The sensitivity and specificity of the automated ELISA were 75% and 71.43%, respectively, while the ICT was 10% and 100%.

Conclusion: Automated ELISA has better diagnostic performance than ICT for CPA diagnosis, but automated ELISA was not adequately available in the Indonesian region so ICT was still used as CPA examination."

"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).. Karakteristik imunologi didapatkan nilai median IgE total pada subjek dengan aspergillosis paru 465(22-1690) IU/ml dan nilai median hitung total eosinofil 380 (0-770) sel/µl.

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."

"Untuk mengetahui aplikasi klinis pemeriksaan serologi dalam mendeteksi antibodi IgG spesifik terhadap Tuberkulosis ( TB ) dengan kit Pathozyme-TB yang menggunakan antigen 38 kDa, kit Pathozyme-Myco yang menggunakan antigen 38 kDa dan Lipopolisakarida ( LPS ), serta kit MycoDot yang menggunakan antigen Lipoarabinomanan ( LAM ) , dilakukan penelitian pada penderita TB paru di Jakarta. Bahan penelitian berupa 194 serum dari 79 orang penderita TB paru dengan BTA positip, 61 orang penderita TB paru dengan BTA negatip, 31 orang penderita penyakit paru non-TB dan 23 orang sehat yang kontak dengan penderita TB minimal 1 tahun, diperoleh dari Rumah Sakit Persahabatan Jakarta. Pada ke empat kelompok tersebut penelitian dilakukan secara crosssectional. Penelitian longitudinal dilakukan terhadap 39 penderita TB paru dengan BTA dan biakan positip selama terapi dengan Obat Anti Tuberkulosis (OAT) 3 dan 6 bulan. Hasil penelitian didapatkan nilai batas diagnosis yang sebaiknya digunakan untuk kit Pathozyme-Myco adalah serapan kontrol positip rendah ( SKPR ) dibagi dengan 1,5 sedangkan untuk kit Pathozyme-TB adalah SKPR dibagi dengan 3. Menggunakan kit Pathozyme-Myco didapatkan nilai sensitivitas sebesar 78 % dan spesifisitas 78 % pada penderita TB dengan BTA positip dan negatip, sensitivitas 82 % dan spesifisitas 78 /o pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA positip, sensitivitas 72 % dan spesifisitas 78 % pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA negatip. Menggunakan kit Pathozyme-TB didapatkan sensitivitas sebesar 44 % dan spesifisitas 91 % pada pendenta TB paru dengan BTA positip dan negatip, sensitivitas 51 % dan spesifisitas 91 % pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA positip dan sensitivitas 34 % dan spesifisitas 91 % pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA negatip. Menggunakan kit Myco-Dot didapatkan sensitivitas sebesar 67,8 % dan spesifisitas 95,6 % pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA positip dan negatip, sensitivitas 75,9 % dan spesifisitas 95,6 % pada TB paru dengan BTA positip, sensitifitas 57,4 % dan spesifisitas 95,6 % pada penderita TB paru dengan BTA negatip. Sensitivitas kit Pathozyme-Myco dan MycoDot cukup tinggi terutama pada TB paru dengan BTA positip, sedangkan sensitivitas Pathozyme-TB kurang tinggi terutama pada TB paru dengan BTA negatip. Spesifisitas pemeriksaan menggunakan ketiga macam kit yaitu Pathozyme-Myco, Pathozyme-TB dan MycoDot cukup baik.Menggunakan kit Pathozyme-Myco dan Pathozymc-TB didapat nilai diagnosis dan interval kepercayaan cukup baik yaitu berturut-turut 0,847 (0,771-0,923) dan 0,725 (0,629- 0,821). Nilai prediksi positip pada kit Pathozyme-Myco, Pathozyme-TB dan MycoDot baik yaitu berturut-turut 74,6 - 88%, 70,8 - 88,9% dan 94,6 - 97,9%. Nilai prediksi negatip pada kit Pathozyme-Myco dan MycoDot cukup baik yaitu berturut-turut 56,5 - 75,0 % dan 53,6 - 85,2 %. Tetapi nilai prediksi negatip pada kit Pathozyme-TB tidak cukup baik, yaitu 35,9 - 54,0 % . Ketiga macam kit yaitu Pathozyme-Myco, Pathozyme-TB dan MycoDot dapat digunakan untuk serodiagnostik TB. Menggunakan kit Pathozyme-Myco dan Pathozyme-TB, tidak didapatkan perubahan kadar antibodi IgG terhadap TB setelah terapi OAT 3 bulan dan tidak didapatkan kadar antibodi IgG TB di bawah nilai batas diagnosis setelah terapi OAT 6 bulan, sehingga pemeriksaan ini tidak dapat digunakan pada pemantauan terapi dan tidak dapat membedakan penderita TB paru aktif dengan bekas TB paru yang baru sembuh. Pada penelitian ini tidak dijumpai adanya pengaruh status gizi pada hasil pemeriksaan dengan menggunakan kit Pathozyme-Myco, Pathozymc-TB dan MycoDot.

To determine the clinical application of serologic test by detection of IgG antibodies for tuberculosis (TB), researeh was done on TB patients in Jakarta, using 38 kDa antigen in Pathozyme-TB, 38 kDa and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) antigens in Pathozyme-Myco and Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) antigen in MycoDot kit. One hundred and ninety four sera were collected from 79 pulmonary TB patients with positive sputum smears, 61 patients with negative sputum smears, 31 patients with pulmonary disease other than TB and 23 healthy persons who had minimal 1 year contact with TB patients. All patients were got from Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta. The study was done cross-sectionally. Longitudinal study was accomplished to 39 TB patients with positive sputum smears and culture, during their 3 months and 6 months oral anti tuberculosis therapy. The detection limit for diagnosis using Pathozymc-Myco and Pathozyme-TB kit are the absorbance oflow positive control devidcd by 1.5 and 3 repectivcly. Pathozyme-Myco kit had sensitivity of 78 % and 78 % specificity in pulmonary TB patients with either positive or negative sputum smears, 82 % sensitivity and 78 % specificity in positive sputum smears pulmonary TB patients, 72 % sensitivity and 78 % specificity in smearnegative pulmonary TB patients. Pathozyme-TB kit had 44 % sensitivity, 91 % specificity in pulmonary TB patients with either positive or negative sputum smears, 51 % sensitivity and 91% specificity in smear-positive pulmonary TB patients, 34 % sensitivity and 91 % specificity in smear-negative pulmonary TB patients. MycoDot kit had 67.8 % sensitivity and 95.6 % in either positive or negative sputum smears pulmonary TB patients, 75.9 % sensitivity and 95.6 % specificity in smear-positive pulmonary TB patients, 57.4 % sensitivity and 95.6 % specificity in smear-negative pulmonary TB patients. Pathozymc-Myco and MycoDot had a high sensitivity especially for pulmonary TB patients with positive sputum smears, while the sensitivity of Pathozyme-TB was lower especially for negative sputum smears pulmonary TB patients. All the kit had a good specificity. Pathozyme-Myco and Pathozyme-TB had a diagnosis value and confidence interval of 0.847(0.771-0.923) and 0.725(0.629-0.821) respcctivcly. Positive predietive value for PathozymeMyco, Pathozyme-TB and MycoDot are 74.6 - 88 %, 70.8-88.9 % and 94.6-97.9 %. Negative predietive value for Pathozyme-Myco and MycoDot (56.5- 75.0 % and 53.6 - 85.2 %) were better than Pathozyme-TB (35.9-54 %). From these results, it was concluded that the detection of IgG antibodies against 38 kDa, LPS and LAM are uscful for serodiagnosis of pulmonary TB. Pathozyme-Myco and Pathozyme-TB kits did not show IgG TB antibodies dccreased lower than detection limit for diagnosis after 3 and 6 months therapy, so it cannot be used for therapy monitoring and for differentiated the active TB from currently recovcrcd TB patients. There is no nutrional status effect to the result ofthe three kits. "

"Aspergilosis paru merupakan infeksi oportunistik yang disebabkan oleh jamur Aspergillus spp. Insidensi aspergilosis paru cenderung semakin meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan penggunaan obat-obatan imunosupresan seperti kortikosteroid dan terapi sitotoksik. Sulitnya penegakan diagnosis aspergilosis paru menjadi tantangan disebabkan tanda dan gejala klinis yang tidak spesifik serta biopsi jaringan sebagai baku emas yang bersifat invasif. Pemeriksaan kultur sputum dan deteksi antibodi merupakan pemeriksaan yang rutin dilakukan pada pasien suspek aspergilosis paru yang dikirim ke Laboratorium Mikologi Departemen Parasitologi FKUI, namun belum tersedia data mengenai nilai diagnostik deteksi antibodi dalam mendiagnosis aspergilosis paru. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan pemeriksaan deteksi antibodi dengan crude antigen Aspergillus dengan metode imunodifusi dengan kultur sputum sebagai tes rujukan. Penelitian berdesain potong lintang dengan sampel berjumlah 689 rekam medis dari pasien suspek aspergilosis paru yang melakukan pemeriksaan kultur sputum dan deteksi antibodi di Laboratorium Mikologi Departemen Parasitologi FKUI tahun 2008-2015. Dari analisis deskriptif didapatkan prevalensi aspergilosis paru berdasarkan hasil positif kultur sebesar 0,4. Dari uji diagnostik deteksi antibodi dengan tabel 2x2, nilai sensitivitas 33,33 dan spesifisitas 95,62 serta terdapatnya perbedaan yang bermakna.

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."

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."
