Infection with these worms can occur through contact with soil contaminated with worm eggs or through consumption of contaminated food. The disease can cause serious health problems in humans, especially in the elderly population who have more vulnerable immune systems. One of the serious complications that can arise from anclyostomiasis infection is heart failure. The aim of this study was to investigate whether anclyostomiasis infection can lead to heart failure in elderly patients. This research used a case study approach. The data obtained was analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. The results showed that based on case studies ancylostomiosis in the elderly can cause severe anemia accompanied by iron deficiency anemia and heart failure. Overall, ancylostomiosis cases have a good prognosis if they get fast and proper treatment. Ancylostomiosis can be pre...

This study reports the characteristics of COVID-19 patients in Bali, Indonesia, and evaluates the diagnostic value of their clinical symptoms. Method This observational study was conducted in eight hospitals. The patients were classified as non-severe COVID-19, severe COVID-19, and non-COVID-19. Demographics, clinical, laboratory, and radiologic characteristics, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients were collected. Factors associated with the severity and outcomes were assessed using the chi-squared test or ANOVA when appropriate. We also compared the clinical features of non-severe COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy. Results This study included 92 patients: 41 non-COVID-19 and 51 COVID-19 patients, comprising 45 non-severe and six severe cases. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 were cough (47.1%), fever (31.0%), and dyspnea (25.3%). Cough, f...
