Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular bacterium that affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory mucosa, and eyes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a comorbidity that can worsen the course of leprosy. The female patient, Mrs. D, aged 55 years came to the emergency room of Cut Meutia Hospital with the main complaint of red bumps accompanied by pain on the face, hands, chest, and back since 3 days ago and additional complaints such as fever, joint pain, and numbness and loss of feeling in the legs, weakness, frequent thirst, and frequent urination. Dermatologic status is obtained in the facial region in the form of erythema nodules with firm boundaries with numular size, multiple. Laboratory examination showed anemia and leukocytosis. The therapy given was MDT MB package, ferrous sulfate 1x325 mg and PRC transfusion 3 kolf. Complaints arose acutely after the patient resumed taking MDT (multidrug therapy) leprosy drugs which had previously been stopped for more than 3 months. Based on the time of onset of symptoms, history of leprosy treatment, and the manifestation of systemic inflammatory lesions with signs of neurotropism, it can be suspected that the patient is experiencing a type 2 leprosy reaction or Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL).

Leprosy remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia. West Java Province, as one of the most populous regions, continues to report new leprosy cases annually. Understanding the distribution of these cases is crucial for disease monitoring and early identification of affected areas.

Secondary data were obtained from the Portal Data Jawa Barat, which provides the number of new cases per district and city. The study employs descriptive analysis with a dashboard-based data visualization approach. The dashboard presents comparisons of case numbers, yearly trends, and the proportional contribution of each district/city in an interactive, easy-to-understand format. Results show that new leprosy cases vary across districts and cities and fluctuate over the observed period. Some regions consistently report higher case counts, resulting in differences in their contributions to the provincial total. The dashboard facilitates rapid monitoring of case distribution and provides stakeholders with a clear visual overview of leprosy in West Java. This study provides comprehensive visual information on leprosy distribution, supporting stakeholders in planning effective public health strategies

Leprosy remains a significant public health problem in various developing countries, including Indonesia. This disease is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which attacks the skin and peripheral nerves and can cause long-term physical, psychological, and social impacts if not treated early and adequately. Health-seeking behavior in leprosy patients is also influenced by structural factors such as the availability of health facilities, distance, transportation costs, and the quality of communication between health workers and patients. Research in various endemic countries confirms that friendly, accessible primary health care services that provide comprehensive education can improve early detection and therapy adherence. Patient SA, an 11-year-old child diagnosed with multibacillary (MB) leprosy and has been undergoing treatment for four months. The progression of the disease to MB indicates limitations in early symptom recognition and the family's health-seeking behavior, which may be influenced by low perceptions of disease susceptibility and severity, lack of knowledge, and barriers to accessing health services. However, after the diagnosis was confirmed and education provided by health workers, positive behavioral changes occurred, indicated by the patient's adherence to routine therapy as recommended.

Strengthening 21st century character and skill education is an important demand in today's learning transformation. Game-Based Learning (GBL)-based approaches such as Ludo are believed to present a learning process that is meaningful, fun, while forming positive values. This study aims to review and compare the results of previous studies on the application of GBL in the development of character and skills in the 21st century, especially in Arabic language learning. The method used is a simple systematic literature review of 12 scientific articles published in 2015–2025 obtained from selected scientific databases. The analysis was conducted based on three main dimensions: the game medium, the focus of learning (characters, 4Cs, vocabulary), and the method approach. The results of the study show that GBL is generally effective in improving vocabulary mastery and fostering collaboration, communication, and character values of students. Ludo media in particular has proven to be relevant as a means of value-based learning and interaction. However, studies that explicitly integrate Ludo-based GBL in Arabic language learning are still limited. This research is expected to be a conceptual basis for the development of innovative learning media that is integrative and in accordance with the challenges of 21st century education.

Children's ethical and character development is increasingly undermined by digital-era challenges, including misinformation, cyberbullying, and polarization. This conceptual review proposes the Love Curriculum as an ethical framework grounded in compassion to address this gap. It aims to enhance digital literacy and character formation by integrating spiritual values into digital education. Drawing from Islamic heritage, particularly Al-Ghazali's thought, and humanistic psychology, the curriculum is built on four pillars: love for God, fellow humans, the environment, and the nation. These pillars provide a moral lens for navigating contemporary digital landscapes. Employing a library research method, this study synthesizes literature from Islamic education, humanistic perspectives, and digital ethics. Key classical and modern sources were selected through purposive sampling, systematically reviewed, and analyzed via thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that the Love Curriculum serves as a moral filter that fosters a holistic "love literacy" integrating spiritual, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. This approach complements Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum by aiming to cultivate a tolerant and empathetic insan paripurna (holistic individual) in virtual spaces, offering practical implications for inclusive education rooted in rahmatan lil 'alamin (mercy for all creation). The study contributes an adaptive conceptual model that underscores the urgency of infusing spirituality into digital literacy education from early childhood through adolescence. Future research should empirically validate the Love Curriculum's effectiveness on children's digital behavior and character across various settings. Exploring specific pedagogical strategies for its four pillars in digital education is also encouraged

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It is a neglected tropical disease, still found in more than 120 countries, with more than 200,000 new cases reported each year.. The purpose of this research is to characterize leprosy patients in Lhokseumawe City and to describe the Multi Drug Therapy therapy. Information about the therapy, including the kind of leprosy, age, gender, employment, and the precise period of treatment, is evaluated in this research. Instruments for measurement were derived using data collected from medical records in this cross-sectional observational investigation. A whole sampling population was used in the sampling procedure, with 42 respondents making up the sample. Based on these findings, MB leprosy is the most frequent form of the disease (90.5% of cases), men make up the majority (64.3%) of leprosy patients, and the majority of leprosy patients are adults (88.1%). Results from the MDT treatment protocol indicated that 76.2% of patients were considered to have finished therapy (RFT), with the biggest occupational category being patients who did not work, accounting for 50% of the total. It is imperative that leprosy officers work to promote health promotion in order to raise awareness, decrease negative stigma, and speed up the discovery of leprosy cases

Morbus Hansen, or leprosy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. There are two types of leprosy, namely MB (Multi Bacillary) and PB (Pauci Bacillary). According to the WHO, the level of disability due to leprosy is divided into three levels: Level 0, Level 1, and Level 3. This study is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional research design, involving 45 respondents selected through total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by filling out a questionnaire consisting of questions regarding leprosy medication compliance. Data analysis used the chi-square test and prevalence rate. The results showed no association between medication compliance (p=0.092, PR=2.0) and the incidence of leprosy disability at the Batumarmar Health Center, Pamekasan Regency. The conclusion of this study indicates that although theoretically adherence to medication can lead to disability in leprosy patients, the results of this study show something different. The difference between the results of this study and the theory may be due to other factors affecting disability. The suggestion is that the health center is expected to improve the monitoring system to evaluate patient compliance with treatment. Support from medical personnel and families is also needed to encourage patients to be more consistent in undergoing therapy.
