Özet
Sydenham koresi çocukluk çağı akut başlangıçlı korenin en sık nedeni olup kliniğine sıklıkla psikiyatrik bulgu ve belirtiler eşlik eder. Sydenhan koreli hastalar, motor ve kardiyak belirtilerden sonra kliniğe en sık obsesif kompulsif belirtiler, anksiyete, depresyon, dikkat sorunları ve duygusal oynaklık ile getirilmektedirler. Bununla birlikte, literatürde intihar düşünceleri olan veya intihar girişiminde bulunmuş bir olguya ulaşılamamıştır. Ayrıca kliniğine eşlik eden psikiyatrik bulgu ve belirtilerin nasıl tedavi edileceğine ilişkin yeterli veri olmamakla birlikte, tedavide kullanılan ilaçların da psikiyatrik bulgu ve belirtileri artırma riski olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda akut Sydenham koresi tanısı konmuş, tedavi ile psikiyatrik bulgu ve belirtilerinde artış gözlenmiş, intihar girişiminde bulunmuş, dokuz yaşındaki bir erkek hasta üzerinden bu konuya dikkat çekilmesi ve tartışılması hedeflenmiştir.
