Globally, helminthiasis is one of the infectious diseases that are often associated with the incidence of tuberculosis. Helminth co-infection modulates the immune system of TB patients by reducing Th-1 response that functions as protector against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This condition disrupts the process of eliminating bacteria so that its development becomes more progressive. The impact is the activation of latent TB and the success of TB treatment. A Soil-transmitted Helminth (STH) is a group of intestinal worms that often infect humans. Previous studies prove that environmental sanitation and personal hygiene are risk factors associated with STH infection. The study to determine the relationship of environmental sanitation and personal hygiene with the incidence of STH co-infection in TB patients at Puskesmas Puger, Jember in September until December 2019. This study uses a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique uses total sampling. A total of 32 TB patients met the criteria as study sample. The data analysis uses Fisher Test. Results showed the prevalence of STH co-infection was relatively low (18.8%); most of the respondents had good environmental sanitation and personal hygiene conditions. Bivariate analysis showed p-value (0,476) for environmental sanitation and p-value (1,000) for personal hygiene. This study concludes that there is no correlation between environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and STH co-infection in TB patients at Public health center in Puger.

“…A previous study reported that there was a relationship between hand washing and the incidence of helminth infections [28]. Washing hands is an important activity because worm eggs can be ingested through contaminated nails [29]. Washing hands with soap also has a significant influence on the incidence of soil-transmitted helminth infections.…”

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth infections are diseases caused by the ingestion of infective stages (in the form of eggs, larvae, cysticercoid, and plerocercoid) of worms (nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes) into the human gastrointestinal tract through the fecal-oral route. The risk factors associated with soil-transmitted helminth infections are environmental factors and hygiene factors. These factors are commonly found in agricultural areas. Therefore, we conducted research in Mlaten Village because the majority of the villagers work as cattle breeders. In addition, the surrounding community, especially cattle breeders, experienced excessive diarrhea that was probably caused by a lack of hygiene knowledge, poor sanitation, and low awareness of cattle care and management. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of soil-transmitted helminth infections in cattle farmers in Mlaten village, Mojokerto, East Java. Methods: This research was conducted using a survey method and cross-sectional study design with 30 cattle farmers as respondents. Human and cow feces were identified using a staining method in the form of 2% eosin. We also used questionnaires to determine the risk factors. The data obtained were presented descriptively and risk factors were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that the habit of cutting nails (OR= 0.083; CI 95%= 0.007-0.950; p<0.05), the habit of washing hands (OR= 0.000; CI 95%= 0.000-0.000; p<0.05), and the habit of washing hands with soap (OR= 0.040; CI 95%= 0.267-18.925; p<0.05) have a significant effect on the incidence of soil-transmitted helminth infections. Conclusion: The prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections is significant to personal hygiene risk factors.

“…Soil contamination by STH can negatively impact the environment because it can be a source of pollution for water and plants that live around it (Muttaqien, 2018). Research conducted by Baidowi et al (2019) also showed a significant association between PPE use and STH infection status, so it is important to study it. Questions regarding environmental sanitation in this study are also less comprehensive, for example, not asking about waste disposal facilities and wastewater disposal channels (SPAL) (Kusumawardani, 2018).…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. More than 80% of TB cases attack the pulmonary organs and the rest are extra-pulmonary TB. Indonesia is one of the countries with the high number of tuberculosis cases besides India, China, the Philippines, and Pakistan. Aside from being a country with a high TB incidence, Indonesia is also an endemic country for helminth infections, especially Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH). The high prevalence of STH infections in Indonesia allows STH coinfection in TB patients to cause decreasing immunity, thus affecting the outcome of TB infection. STH infection is very closely related to environmental sanitation. The purpose of this study was to identify and determine the association of environmental sanitation risk factors to the coinfection of Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) in tuberculosis patients in Panti District, Jember Regency. This type of research was observational research with cross-sectional analytic design. Of the 49 TB patients who were undergoing treatment at the Panti Health Center, 32 people were willing to be respondents, but only 25 people collected stool samples. Fisher's test results showed that the incidence of intestinal co-infection in TB patients in Panti District, Jember Regency was 12% and was caused by two STH species, namely A. lumbricoides and Hookworm. Environmental sanitation in TB patients was mostly good, e.g 54.5% of respondents had good environmental sanitation, but there was no significant association between environmental sanitation and the incidence of intestinal co-infection in TB patients in Panti District, Jember Regency (p> 0.05).
