“…Age frequency distribution of HIV lymphadenitis patients in this study from the highest sequence was 45-64 years old with 10 subjects (29.4%), second place 25-55 years old as many as 9 subjects (26.5%), age 5 -14 years ranked third, as many as 5 subjects (14.7%) with age> 65 years as many as 4 subjects (11.8%), while ages 15-24 years as many as 4 subjects (11.8%) , and at the age of 0-4 years as many as 2 subjects (5.9%). This is in accordance with previous studies in India that more than 40 (40-50 years) are more likely to experience HIV lymphadenitis than those aged 20-40 years, because the age of 40-50 has a lower endurance compared to young age and organs already cannot perform its function perfectly (Thakkar, Ghaisas, & Singh, 2016). But this is different from the results of research conducted by Neelima, et al that HIV lymphadenitis is more frequent at the age of 21-40 years because this behavior is relatively young to do something that makes it easier to become infected with the HIV virus, for example by free sex or by exchanging drug needles (Tirumalasetti & Latha, 2014).…”

Background: Lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph nodes caused by a variety of microorganisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and other microorganisms. Patient characteristics lymphadenitis diverse views on the etiology, age, gender, and lymph nodes affected.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of patients with lymphadenitis.Methods: The design of this study is descriptive cross sectional method is done by looking at medical records of patients in Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek hospital Bandar Lampung 2015. The samples were taken using stratified random sampling technique so that 161 samples used in this study.Results: The results showed the frequency distribution of patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis is the highest (57.14%), lymphadenitis other microorganisms (21.74%), and HIV lymphadenitis (21.12%). The frequency distribution of TB lymphadenitis patient age was 15-24 years (45.7%), patients with HIV lymphadenitis most at the age of 45-64 (29.4%), while the age of the patient lymphadenitis other microorganisms highest in the 15-24 age (28 , 6%). The frequency distribution of TB lymphadenitis gender, HIV and most were female (58.7% and 52.9%), while the frequency distribution of the sexes in most other microorganisms lymphadenitis patients were male (54.3%).Conclusion: The frequency distribution locations lymphadenitis TB, HIV and other microorganisms most was the neck (regio colli) (96%, 55.9% and 57.1%).

“…Deficits in reaction time and memory were also found [54]. In a recent review Xu et al [55] identified a total of 41 human studies which examined the potential effects of ambient or traffic-related air pollution on children (including those specifically investigating autism). They concluded that “evidence suggests that prenatal exposure to air pollutants may have impacts of child neurodevelopment regardless of different study designs, study populations, air pollution exposure assessments, and outcome measurements” [55].…”

Purpose of Review Epidemiological and animal studies suggest that air pollution may negatively affect the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to CNS diseases. Traffic-related air pollution is a major contributor to global air pollution, and diesel exhaust (DE) is its most important component. Recent findings Several studies suggest that young individuals may be particularly susceptible to air pollution-induced neurotoxicity, and that perinatal exposure may cause or contribute to developmental disabilities and behavioral abnormalities. In particular, a number of recent studies have found associations between exposures to traffic-related air pollution and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which are characterized by impairment in socialization and in communication, and by the presence of repetitive and unusual behaviors. The cause(s) of ASD are unknown, and while it may have a hereditary component, environmental factors are increasingly suspected as playing a pivotal role in its etiology, particularly in genetically susceptible individuals. Summary Autistic children present higher levels of neuroinflammation and systemic inflammation, which are also hallmarks of exposure to traffic-related air pollution. Gene-environment interactions may play a relevant role in determining individual susceptibility to air pollution developmental neurotoxicity. Given the worldwide presence of elevated air pollution, studies on its effects and mechanisms on the developing brain, genetic susceptibility, role in neurodevelopmental disorders, and possible therapeutic interventions, are certainly warranted.

One of the most common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is peripheral tuberculous lymphadenitis and accounts for 20-40% of the cases. Tuberculous lymphadenitis has a gender and age predilection (usually seen in young females). It is usually bilateral in presentation and is noncontagious. Recent upsurge in HIV coinfection has challenged the diagnosis and management of TB and of associated lymphadenopathy. In the endemic areas, tuberculous lymphadenitis remains an important and essential differential diagnosis in patients presenting with cervical swellings. A timely and accurate diagnosis is mandatory to overcome this public health threat. Interdisciplinary involvement of varied medical and dental professionals enhances the possibility of an effective and timely diagnosis of this condition.
