Abstract

Abstract. 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. The main variables were demographical and environmental risk factors. Analysis of 27 carriers and 108 controls, above two years of age, from Bangkalan, Jemberand Probolinggo districts identified the significant risk factor being paternal education (odds ratio = 5.5, 95% confidence interval: 1.6-19.4). There was no difference in immunization status, based solely on the memory of the caregivers, between the two groups. Thus, all efforts in the future should be prioritized on this risk factor.
