Abstract: Schizophrenia is a
severe and chronic mental disorder that needs a long term treatment and social
support. This condition may results in burden and disturbance in the family and
society A number of studies have investigated some environmental factors that
may potentially lead to schizophrenia. One of many suspected environmental
factors is place of born or grew up. This study was conducted to investigate
association between place of born or grew up and age of onset of schizophrenia.
Methods: This study was conducted from August–October 2014 at DOTS
Policlinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. The study population
was lung TB patients. The inclusion criteria were 1st category lung TB patients
with anti-TB drug treatment on intensive phase. The exclusion criteria were
extrapulmonary TB patients, patients with lung surgery history, and patients
with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study used
purposive sampling. The subjects were given a spirometry test where the forced
expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and their ratio
were collected and then interpreted.
Results: Among the 60 subjects included in this study, the data showed
that 83.4% of the subjects had a decreased pulmonary function consisting of
obstructive (6.7%) and restrictive patterns (76.7%).
Conclusions: The majority of pulmonary TB patients treated with 1st
category anti-TB drugs during intensive phase have a decrease in pulmonary
function and most of them have restrictive pattern of pulmonary function.
