Abstract

Aim: Coughing is a common symptom in childhood. The cough last for over 4 to 6 weeks and also which makes patients the family and the doctor feel discomfort is called chronic cough. If this cough last long and repeats, it has to be investigated. After a detailed history and physical examination, distinctive studies have to be made. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patients, which have been made flexible bronchoscopy because of chronic cough, by their clinical, laboratory and bronchoscopic findings. Material and Method: In this study we evaluated 23 patients with chronic cough; which were examined between January 2002 and December 2006 in Pediatric Chest Unit of Hacettepe University. Patients have cough for over 4 to 6 weeks, without specific chest X Ray findings, gastroesophageal reflux and problem with their immunologic system were and because of all these reasons they have been made bronchoscopy. The patients files are analyzed retrospectively by their demographic, clinic and bronchoscopic findings. Results: The study consisted of 23 patients: (12 males/11 females). The age of the patients vary between 1 and 13,8 years (mean age: 5 years). All patient’s radiological findings were normal without one patient. This patient’s have bronchial abnormalities in sanal bronchoscopy. When it is observed with flexible bronchoscopy ten patients have abnormal findings. Two patients have foreing body aspiration in their left main bronchus, two patients have tracheomalasia, three patients have hyperemia and secretions infection and two have bronchial abnormalites.In six patients’ bronchoalveolar lavage microorganism grew. Three patients have lipid laden macrophage and two patients whose previous gastroesophageal reflux scintigraphie were negative then found in and started treatment Conclusion: Although flexible bronchoscopy is an invasive technique, it evaluates respiratory system’s functional, anatomic characteristics well and it is a valuable technique in finding the etiology of chronic cough.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik öksürük, çocukluk çağında sık karşılaşılan, hasta ve aileyle birlikte hekimi de huzursuz eden bir bulgudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; merkezimizde kronik öksürük nedeni ile araştırılan ve şeksible bronkoskopi (FB) yapılan hastaların klinik, laboratuar ve bronkoskopik bulgular açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hacettepe Çocuk Göğüs Hastalıkları Ünitesinde Ocak 2002- Aralık 2006 tarihleri arasında kronik öksürük nedeniyle izlenen, 4-6 haftadan beri öksürüğü olan, akciğer grafi bulguları spesifik olmayan bu nedenle FB yapılan 23 hasta çalışılmaya alındı. Hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak demografik, klinik ve bronkoskopik bulgular açısından incelendi. Gastroözofagial reşü veya immün yetmezliği olan hastalar çalışmadan çıkarıldı. Bulgular: Kronik öksürük nedeniyle bronkoskopi yapılan 23 hastanın 12’i erkek, 11’i kızdı. Yaşları 1-13,8 yıl arasında değişiyordu. Ortalama yaş 5 yıl idi. Bir hasta hariç tüm hastaların radyolojik incelemesi normaldi. Bir hastada sanal bronkoskopide bronş anomalisi saptandı. Yirmi üç hastanın FB ile değerlendirilmesinde 10 hastada normalin dışında bulgu saptandı. iki hastada sol ana bronşta yabancı cisim ve granülasyon dokusu, 2 hastada trakeomalazi, 3 hastada enfeksiyonla uyumlu olan hiperemi ve sekresyon, 1 hastada mantar enfeksiyonu düşündüren trakeada beyaz plaklar saptandı. iki hastada ise bronş anomalisi saptandı. Şeksible bronkoskopi de patoloji tesbit edilen hastaların 6’ında da BAL kültürlerinde üreme tesbit edildi. Üç hastada Bronkoalveolar lavaj (BAL) da lipid yüklü makrofaj tesbit edildi ve daha önce gastroözofageal reşü (GÖR) sintigrafisi normal olan iki hastanın tekrarlanan GÖR sintigrafisi pozitif olarak bulunup reflü tedavisi başlandı. Sonuç: Fleksible bronkoskopi invaziv bir girişim olmasına rağmen solunum sisteminin fonksiyonel, anotomik özelliklerini iyi değerlendiren, kronik öksürükte nedeni aydınlatmakta tanıya yardımcı bir yöntemdir.
