Background: Diphtheria remains a health problem, especially in developing countries. In November 2017, the Indonesian Ministry of Health stated that there was a diphtheria outbreak in Indonesia. East Kalimantan is one of the provinces that experienced this disease outbreak. This study analyzes the risk factors for diphtheria outbreak in children aged 1-10 years. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 37 respondents. Research variables consist of immunization status against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT), nutritional status, children mobility, source of transmission, physical home environment (natural lighting, ventilation area, occupancy density, wall and floor type), knowledge of diphtheria and attitudes towards the diphtheria prevention program. Results: We found that the most of the children who had diphtheria had been immunized against DPT. Additionally the nutritional status of children (p=0.049), mobility (p=0.000) and the source of transmission (p=0.020) were significantly associated with diphtheria. Conclusions: Child/parent mobility (OR=8.456) is the main risk factor for diphtheria outbreak. It is recommended to limit the mobility of children to travel to areas that are experiencing increased cases of diphtheria, improve the nutritional status, and further research on the effectiveness of diphtheria vaccine.

The home environment is one of the potential factors in the spread of Pulmonary Tuberculosis incidence. This study aims to analyze the environmental risk factors of the incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in the working area Puskesmas Binanga Mamuju 2016. The study design is a case-control study. Sample size of 93 with a comparison between case and control 1: 2. TB case sample 31 patient and control sample 62 people. TB cases are pulmonary TB patients and controls, not the lungs. The data were collected by interview using questionnaire. Bivariate statistic test using Odds Ratio with α = 0,05. The results showed that residential density (OR 1.969, 95% CI: 0.641 - 6.049), Ventilation (OR 1.492, 95% CI: 0.576-3.863), and Lighting (OR 6.471, 95% CI: 0.795 - 52.6) significant to the incidence of pulmonary TB.

Pneumonia is the cause of 16% of underfive children deaths worldwide. The number of cases of pneumonia in Sidoarjo had been continued to increase from 2013-2015. This study aims to describe the condition of home environment with the incidence of pneumonia in underfive children. This research was descriptive observational study with case control study approach. The sample in this study consisted of 32 cases of underfive children who suffering ISPA pneumonia and 32 cases of ARI without pneumonia. The independent variables in this study were occupancy density, ventilation area, floor type, wall type, and cigarette smoke exposure. The results showed that underfive children who suffering ISPA pneumonia have high home density (68,8%), often exposed by cigarette smoke (75,0%), and ventilation respondents was not eligible (100,0%). Based on the results of this study, the parents should to change the behavior not to smoke in their home. In addition, they should get used to open the door of their house so the air circulation in the house can exchange well.
