RISK FACTORS OF DIPHTHERIA CARRIERS IN INDONESIAN CHILDREN


Indonesia has one of the highest prevalence of diphtheria in the world, with East Java the most heavily affected. Despite the significant role of carriers in diphtheria transmission, studies in the country are still very limited. This study analyzed risk factors of children becoming diphtheria carriers using an observational case-control approach carried out from 2011 and 2015, which employed data from the East Java Provincial Health Office and the Main Health Laboratory [Balai Besar Laboratorium Kesehatan (BBLK)], Surabaya. Controls (4 controls for each carrier) were children who were in contact with diphtheria patients but did
not have any microbiologically-confirmed Corynebacterium diphtheriae in nasal or throat swabs.
