Faktor Risiko Lingkungan Kejadian Leptospirosis di Jawa Tengah (Studi Kasus di Kota Semarang, Kabupaten Demak dan Pati)
Abstract: Leptospirosis is
zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira bacteria and transmitted to human through
contact with animal urine and contaminated environment.The number of cases
increased since 2005, particulary Semarang, Demak, and Pati regency. The
purpose of this study is to analyze environmental risk factors related to
leptospirosis incidence in Central Java.
Method: This research was an explanatory research with observational method using case control design. The subjects were 60
cases and 60 controls recruted with
inclusion criteria. Diagnosis of
control was based on clinical diagnosis
and examination of blood sample with
Leptotek Lateral Flow. The data was analyzed in univariate, bivariate
and multivariate tests using logistic regression.
Result: The results of this research found that physical environmental factors that
influenced the incidence of leptospirosis were stagnant water of the ditch (OR
= 3.5; 95% CI: 1,282-9,301; p = 0.014) and habit of taking bath or washing in the river (OR = 7.5; 95% CI:
1.534- 36.185; p = 0.014).
Recomendation: It was sugested for Health Departement to control the risk
factors of physical environment by cooperating with relevant agencies,
especially PROKASIH (Clean River Program). People need to keep cleaning the
house and the neighborhood, especially the existence of pools of water around the house and do not
get a shower and take out the trash / dead mouse in a river.
