Himenolepiasis distribution pattern in South Kalimantan (Pola distribusi himenolepiasis di Kalimantan Selatan)
Helmintiasis generally caused by worms from Soil Transmitted Helminths group (STH) such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Hookworm, and Enterobius vermicularis from non STH group. Helmintiasis typical case occurred in South Kalimantan was caused by Fasciolopsis buski. But in a survey by the Indonesian agency for Vector Born Disease Research and Development Tanah Bumbu in 2008-2009 found himenolepiasis cases caused by Hymenolepis sp. Analytical observational study was conducted in 13 districts in the region of South Kalimantan, with a cross-sectional design. Stool survey carried out in two stages: the first stage in 2010 in 6 districts (Tanah Laut, Tabalong, Tanah Bumbu, Tapin, Barito Kuala, and Balangan), and second stage in 2011 in seven districts (Kotabaru, Banjar, Hulu Sungai Selatan, Hulu Sungai Tengah, Hulu Sungai Utara, Banjarbaru, and Banjarmasin), for a total of 3.643 stool samples. Total himenolepiasis cases found in this study of 0.5% (20 cases) spread on the Kotabaru 0.3%, Tanah Bumbu 0.3%, Balangan 0.5%, Tabalong 0.6%, HSS 0.9%, Banjar 1.7% and the highest at Tapin 1.9%. Many aspects of the society in South Kalimantan that could cause transmission of himenolepiasis such as the habit of ealing small amount raw rice after eating ngapi nut, assuming that ha bit can prevent odors arising from eating nga pi Nut. So it is likely that rice which contaminated by fleas that brought cysticercoid of Hymenolepis consumed by people. This fact needs to be further explored in order to have a foundation for basic research and prevention programs of himenolepiasis.
