RESUMO
Introduction: Vaccination is an effort to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Although vaccines can be effective prevention, they can have potential side effects, or adverse events following immunization (AEFI). CoronaVac, BBIBP-CorV, BNTb262-BioNTech, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1NCoV-19 were vaccines used in Indonesia when this study was conducted. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with AEFI for the COVID-19 vaccines for each dose in the community. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in Central Java Province, Indonesia from August to October 2021. The variables included respondent characteristics, COVID-19 infection history, COVID-19 vaccine AEFI, dose, and type. Data collection was performed through questionnaires and data was analyzed by a logistic regression test. Results: The percentage of AEFI was 21.1% after the first dose, 14.1% after the second dose, and 83.9% after the third dose of the vaccine. The factors associated with higher odds of COVID-19 vaccine AEFI were different for each dose, as follows: for the first dose: age group >45 years (p=0.009; OR=2.837; 95%CI: 1.301-6.187) and overweight (p=0.007; OR=3.323; 95%CI: 1.242-8.689); for the second dose: overweight (p=0.007; OR=9.118; 95%CI: 1.827-45.5), female sex (p=0.011; OR=2.885; 95%CI: 1.274-6.531), age group >45 years (p=0.017; OR=3.257; 95%CI: 1.24-8.555) and prior episode of COVID-19 (p=0.044; OR=2.459; 95%CI: 1.026-5.893); and for the third dose: female sex (p=0.040; OR=3.650; 95%CI: 1.062-12.550). Conclusions: The factors that were associated with AEFI of COVID-19 vaccine were sex, age, nutritional status and prior history of COVID-19.
RESUMO
Giant ovarian cyst itself is defined as a cyst >10â cm in diameter from radiological- examination or the size of the cyst exceeds the umbilicus. Extra-large benign and malignant cysts of the ovary are uncommon and involve diagnostic and management challenges. We present the case of a 20-year-old nulliparous woman who was referred to our center with complaints of abdominal pain and heavy breathing. She benefited from a salphingo-oophorectomy laparotomy procedure. Benign and malignant gynecologic and non-gynecologic etiologies are included in the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass. Because of the infrequent occurrence or absence of distinctive clinical presentation of the giant ovarian cyst, accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging.
RESUMO
The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for all medical personnel in the world. Various studies have been conducted to gain more knowledge about SARS-CoV-2, but studies in the pediatric population are still very limited. We report a case of a boy aged two years and seven months who came to the hospital with an atypical generalized seizure for less than 5 minutes and immediately regained consciousness after the seizure. Other symptoms included fever, productive cough, rhinorrhea, and shortness of breath. The X-ray showed a well-defined homogeneous consolidation in the upper right lobe and a small spot in both lungs which consistently showed top right lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. From the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test, positive results were obtained on the third day of hospitalization. The patient received antiseizure therapy, antibiotics, and other supportive therapies by Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) guidelines. During treatment, the patient responded well to the treatment given, with no other seizure episodes. A negative result on the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test was obtained after twelve days of hospitalization as well as improvements of the lungs as seen from the X-ray.
