Background: In Manokwari District in which the number of children who suffer of leprosy is high enough is Pasir Putih District. Especially in the work area of Pasir Putih Health Center is the area with the number of new cases of leprosy on children is highest in 2015 as many as 48 cases (55%) those are leprosy PB children as many as 23 cases and leprosy MB children as many as 25 cases. The high proportion of leprosy patients among new cases of leprosy is found to indicate the high rate of leprosy transmission in the community. The environment is the highest contributor to disease, then behavior, health and genetic services. Environmental factors affect the occurrence of leprosy, where the unfavorable environment will cause Mycrobaterium leprae bacteria that can cause leprosy. This research was intended to know the correlation of environmental risk factors (contact history, occupancy density, humidity, floor type, ventilation and wall of house) with leprosy incidence on children in Pasir Putih health center of Manokwari Regency 2016
Method: This was an observational analytic study with case control study design. Subjects were children aged 5-11 years with a sample size of 96 children consisting of 48 cases and 48 controls. The case was taken from leprosy child recorded at leprosy register at pasir putihclinic. Control was taken on children who did not have clinical symptoms based on diagnosis by pasir putihofficers. Data analysis was done by univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: From the result of bivariate analysis, it was known that environmental risk factors have correlation (P <0,05) with the incidence of leprosy on children in the working area of health center of pasir putihthat is history of contact (one house P = 0,000, neighbor P = 0,005 and social P = 0,001), occupancy density (house P = 0.000 and room P = 0,005), humidity (P = 0,000) and house wall (P = 0,000) while risk factor unrelated to leprosy occurrence on children in working area of pasir putihwater is floor Home (P = 0.15) and home ventilation (P = 0.08).
Conclusion: There was a correlation of environmental risk factors with the incidence of leprosy on children in the pasir putih area, namely the history of contact (house, neighbor and social), occupancy density (house and room), humidity and wall of the house, while the environmental risk factors of the floor and ventilation The house has nothing to do with the incidence of leprosy on children.
