Abstract

Objective: Although mumps is usually mild disease and, have complete healing, but severe complications such as meningoencephalitis can occur. The aim of the present study is to evaluate our cases of mumps meningoencephalitis. Material and Methods: 325 patients with mumps meningoencephalitis were evaluated in our hospital between January 1999 and December 2004 retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the patients was 7.3±2.3 (1-14) years, 244 were male (75.1%) and 81 were female (24.9). The incidence of mumps meningoencephalitis was higher in 2004 (116 cases, 35.7%). The most common clinical sign and symptoms were vomiting (94.1%), fever (76.8%), headache (51.3%) and meningismus (94.7%), parotitis (32.6%). Remission was obtained in all patients except one patient, and he had permanent hearing loss. Conclusion: It is emphasized that routine mumps vaccine is necessary to prevent of mumps and its complications.

Özet

Amaç: Kabakulak, genellikle iyi seyirli ve klinik olarak tam iyileşme ile sonuçlanan bir hastalık olmakla birlikte meningoensefalit gibi ciddi komplikasyonlara da yol açabilir.Bu çalışmada kabakulak meningoensefalit tanısı alan hastalarımızı inceledik. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde Ocak 1999-Aralık 2004 tarihleri arasında kabakulak meningoensefaliti tanısı ile yatırılarak izlenen 325 hasta, klinik ve laboratuar özellikleri açısından incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların 244'ü erkek (%75.1), 81'i kızdı (%24.9) ve yaş ortalamaları 7.3±2.3 (1-14) yıl olarak tespit edildi. Olgular en sık 2004 yılında (116 olgu, %35.7) başvurdu. En sık görülen şikayetler kusma (%94.1), ateş (%76.8) ve baş ağrısı (%51.3) iken, meningeal irritasyon bulguları (%94.7) ve parotis şişliği (%32.6) en sık rastlanan fizik muayene bulguları idi. Bir hastada gelişen kalıcı işitme kaybı dışında tüm hastalar tam olarak iyileşti. Sonuç: Kabakulak aşısının rutin çocukluk çağı aşılama şemasına girmesi hastalığın ve komplikasyonların gelişimini önleyecektir.
