Abstract

Objective: Enteroviral infections is a group of com- mon childhood infection particularly in children under 5 years. Patients generally present with hand-foot- mouth disease or herpangina which are benign and self-limiting. Bu rarely enteroviruses cause life-threat- ening diseases like viral meningitis, encephalitis and myocarditis. This study aimed to review epidemio- logical and clinical data for cases with enteroviral infections diagnosed in our hospital, in order to help develop and implement precautionary measures applicable for future epidemics. Material and Methods: In this study; demographic and clinical data for patients with enteroviral infection were investigated between April and November 2012. Enteroviral infections were diagnosed by typical symptoms and clinical findings for enteroviruses. Results: A total of 39 patients were diagnosed with enteroviral infection in the study. Most patients (79%) were under 5 years old, with a median age at onset of 3.9 years (10 months-16 year 6 months) and 59% were male. Disease peaked in July and August and decreased in the Autumn months. The most common symptoms on presentation were rash (77%), rash with fever (18%) and fever (5%). Gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation were reported in 18% of patients. Neurological symptoms were not seen frequently in our patients, only one of them (2.5%) had a headache. One patient (2.5%) was hospitalized due to severe mucositis, resistant fever and feeding problems. Conclusion: In contrast to Asian countries, enterovi- ruses caused benign and self-limited disease in our country. All clinical findings were mild and reversible in our patients.

Özet

Amaç: Enteroviral enfeksiyonlar özellikle 5 yaşından küçük çocuklarda sık görülen bir çocukluk çağı enfek- siyonudur. Hastalar genellikle el-ayak-ağız hastalığı veya herpanjina gibi iyi huylu ve kendini sınırlayan klinik tablolarla başvurur. Ancak enterovirüsler nadir olarak viral menenjit, ensefalit, miyokardit gibi hayatı tehdit edici tablolara da neden olabilirler. Bu çalışma ile has- tanemize başvuran ve enteroviral enfeksiyon tanısı alan hastaların epidemiyolojik ve klinik verilerinin belir- lenmesi, gelecekte olabilecek salgınlar için önlemlerin geliştirilmesi ve uygulanmasına yardımcı olunması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada Nisan ve Kasım 2012 tarihleri arasında hastanemizde enteroviral enfeksiyon tanısı alan hastaların demografik ve klinik bilgileri araştırıldı. Enteroviral enfeksiyon tanısı ente- rovirüsler için tipik semptom ve bulgular ile konuldu. Bulgular: Çalışmada toplam 39 hastaya enteroviral enfeksiyon tanısı konuldu. Hastaların %79’u 5 yaş ve altındaydı, ortanca yaş 3,9 yıl (10 ay-16 yıl 6 ay) idi ve hastaların %59’u erkekti. Hastalığın Temmuz ve Ağustos aylarında pik yaptığı ve sonbahar aylarında azaldığı görüldü. Başvuruda en sık görülen semptom- lar döküntü (%77), döküntü ile birlikte ateş (%18) ve sadece ateşti (%5). Bulantı, kusma, ishal ve kabızlık gibi gastrointestinal semptomlar hastaların %18’inde vardı. Hastalarımızda nörolojik semptomlar sık değil- di, sadece bir hastada (%2,5) baş ağrısı vardı. Bir hasta (%2,5) ise ağır mukozit, dirençli ateş ve beslen- me sorunları nedeniyle hastaneye yatırıldı. Sonuç: Ülkemizde, Asya ülkelerinin aksine enterovi- rüsler iyi seyirli ve kendini sınırlayıcı hastalığa neden olmaktadır. Hastalarımızda tüm klinik bulgular hafif ve geri dönüşlü olmuştur.
