Abstract

Blastocystosis is an intestinal protozoan infection that can cause diarrhea. In the immunocompetent group, it can be asymptomatic. However, in immunosuppressed patients, it can be severe. The disease is transmitted by the oro-faecal route through food that has been contaminated with the faeces of patients. Spatial analysis can be used to map people to determine the risk of the parasite spreading. The aim of this study was to investigate the mapping of blastocystosis patients, studies in patients with malignancies at Lampung Provincial Hospital. We diagnosed Blastocystis infection in 62 fecal samples from study subjects through fecal microscopic examination. To determine the location of the patients' residences, we used Google Maps and Google Art applications based on the addresses listed on the questionnaire. The coordinate data were analyzed, and mapped using the ArcGIS 10.8.2. The results of the microscopic examination showed that 32.26% of the samples were positive for Blastocystis infection. Patients are distributed within the coordinates of 104.6380950 to 109.1035280 East and 3.9533070 to 7.0776440 South. The majority of patients are located in Bandar Lampung City, with the farthest origin of residence being Purbalingga Regency in Central Java Province. The buffering pattern was obtained using a radius of 10 kilometers.
