Dear Pieter,
Good morning,
I would like to share my papers which I wrote a few years ago but not yet published. May be it can inspire and realise a part of my dreams. See attached files.
-Epidemiological DHS among leprosy in Indonesia and its black box
-Footprints of Dr Leiker and the first leprosaria in Papua.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DAPSONE HYPERSENSITIVITY SYNDROMES AMONG LEPROSY PATIENTS IN INDONESIA AND ITS BLACK BOX. By Arry Pongtiku. NLR, Papua Provincial Health Office, Indonesia
Abstract
Dapsone Hypersensitive Syndromes or DHS is a feeling of sorrow behind the MDT story. A retrospective study from annual progress reports was carried out to describe DHS in Indonesia.
Incidence and Mortality Rate of DHS in Indonesia are 0.12% and 13.3%. Incidence of DHS in Indonesia mostly reported from Papua Barat (0.70%), Papua (0.58%), Maluku (0.36%), Sulawesi Utara (0.31%) and Sulawesi Tenggara (0.26%).
Efforts to investigate DHS 's through black box may be opened not only traditionally epidemiological approach but also biomolecular breakthrough.
The foot prints of Dr. Leiker and Miei, the first leprosy colony in Papua, Indonesia. By Arry Pongtiku,MD,MHM,PhD. Former National Leprosy Adviser, Papua, Indonesia
Abstract
There is a saying that "good deeds will remain in memory. Until I died I would not forget it". I got an email from Amsterdam to accompany the son of Dr.Leiker, named Dick Leiker; he wanted to know his father and family stories while living in the land of Netherlands New Guinea ( Papua) in 1950-1957. Dick Leiker came to attend the 55th memorial inauguration for the crash of Connie Neutron plane at Owi Island, district Biak Numfor. Dr Leiker was one of the survivals.
Miei is recently called Mangurai was the first leprosy colony in Papua. Dr Leiker was chief hospital at Seroei and controlling officer of the leprosy colony at Miei. Until now there is not much written about leprosy colonies in Papua. This study aims to explore about Dr. Leiker and the leprosy colony. Leprosy control had been introduced since the era of Dutch occupation in Indonesia. They collected leprosy patients and put them in temporary settlements for isolation and general treatments. The purpose of isolation was to protect the transmission of the disease and for social economic aids. The paper also explained the history of leprosy in Papua and spreading of this disease. We compair leprosy data in the past and today. We dream that the ex leprosarium could be a leprosy heritage and as a memoir of the medical history in the land of Papua, Indonesia. Using the snow ball method, the investigation was begun through history of plane crash, tracing foot prints of dr Leiker and the leprosy colony at Miei respectively.
Thank you,
salam,
Arry Pongtiku, Papua,Indonesia
