A case of lipoblastoma in a pediatric patient.

Lipoblastoma is a benign soft tissue tumor that originates from embryonic white fat. Lipoblastoma presents as a slow-growing mass that commonly occurs in the extremities of young children. Histological examination remains the gold standard in confirming lipoblastoma; however, radiology examination can help identify and evaluate the extent and characterization of the mass prior to the excision.

Newcastle disease virus: the past and current situation in Indonesia.

The Newcastle disease virus (NDV) outbreak was first reported in Java Island, Indonesia, in 1926, which was then reported further in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Nevertheless, the NDV is still endemic in Indonesia, with outbreaks occurring in free-range and commercial chicken farms. The dynamic evolution of the NDV has led to the further development of vaccines and diagnostic tools for more effective control of this virus.

A rare case of multiple supratentorial brain lesions due to meningiomatosis.

Meningeal tumors represent the most common primary central nervous system tumors. The term "multiple meningiomas" or "meningiomatosis" refers to the occurrence of 2 or more spatially separated meningiomas without the features of neurofibromatosis. Meningiomatosis accounts for only less than 10% of all cases and is more prevalent in women.

Antimicrobial Sensitivity Pattern from Hospitalized Pneumonia Patients in National Referral Infectious Disease Hospital in Indonesia.

Background: Pneumonia is still a major global problem with high morbidity and mortality. The increasing number of pneumonia cases caused by bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant pathogens, increasing age of the population, patients with chronic disease (comorbid), and inappropriate antimicrobial therapy at initial administration make the treatment become less effective. These issues finally contribute to higher morbidity and mortality in cases of hospitalized pneumonia patients.

Molecular detection of bat coronaviruses in three bat species in Indonesia.

Bats are an important reservoir of several zoonotic diseases. However, the circulation of bat coronaviruses (BatCoV) in live animal markets in Indonesia has not been reported. Genetic characterization of BatCoV was performed by sequencing partial RdRp genes.
