Abstract

Bronchiolitis is an under respiratory tract disorder which is caused by the inflammatory obstruction of the small airways. It is also the most common reason for hospitalization of children younger than 6 months. In this study, demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, treatment and prognoses of patients who had been admitted to our clinic due to bronchiolitis were investigated. 59.7% of patients were male, and 40.3% were female. 40.3% were admitted to our hospital in winter, 29.5% in spring, 23.6% in fall and 6% in summer. The largest group of patients consisted of infants between 3-6 months (35.9%). Initial complaints were coughing in 85%, wheezing in 53.7% and fever in 34.3%. Of the patients history of atopy was determined more frequently (41.6%) among those who suffered from three or more attacks compared with patients who experienced one to two attacks (20%). A history of atopy in the patient's family increases the number of bronchiolitis attacks and the need for steroid.

Özet

Amaç:Bronşiolit, küçük hava yollarının inflamatuar obstrüksiyonundan kaynaklanan ve özellikle 6 aydan küçükçocuklarda en sık hospitalizasyon nedeni olan bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimize bronşiolit nedeniylekabul edilen olguların demografik özellikleri, klinik bulguları, tedavisi ve prognozu analiz edildi.Bulgular:Olguların %59,7'si (n=40) erkek, %40,3'ü (n=37) kız olup, %40,3'ü kış, %29,9'u ilkbahar, %23,9'usonbahar, %6'sı yaz mevsiminde hastanemize kabul edildi. En büyük hasta gurubunu 3-6 aylık bebekler (%35,8)oluşturmaktaydı. İlk başvuru şikayetleri %85'inde öksürük, %53,7'sinde hırıltı ve %34,3'ünde ateşti. Atopiöyküsü üç ve daha fazla atak geçirenlerde %41.6, bir ve iki atak geçirenlerde %20 olarak saptandı.Sonuç:Ailede atopi öyküsü bulunmasının bronşiolitli olgularda atak sayısını ve steroid gereksinimini arttırdığıgörüldü
