Abstract

Objective: Community acquired pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, especially for small children. There is a wide range of etiological agents varying according to age. As conventional culture methods require longer test times for viral and atypical pathogens, nucleic acid tests with higher sensitivity and specificity are advantageous for rapid detection. Due to detection of several different agents in the same sample, multiplex polymerase chain reaction poliymerase chain reaction test offers rapid diagnosis. Case: In this paper, a 4-year-old boy was presented with a severe course of pneumonia/pleural effusion. The presence of the co-infection of H1N1 virus and human metapneumovirus has been demonstrated by poliymerase chain reaction methods.Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of detection of viral causes in the etiology of pneumonia, especially with poliymerase chain reaction to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use.

Özet

Amaç: Toplumda kazanılmış pnömoni, tüm dünyada özellikle küçük çocuklarda, ölümlerin en sık nedenlerinden birisidir. Etiyolojide yaşa göre değişen çok çeşitli etkenler bulunmaktadır. Konvansiyonel kültür yöntemleri, viral ve atipik patojenler için uzun zaman gerektirdiğinden, nükleik asid testleri yüksek sensivite ve spesifite özelliklerine ek olarak hızlı tanı avantajı sağlamaktadır. Aynı örnekte çeşitli farklı etkenleri tespit edebilmesi nedeniyle multipleks polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu metodu ile hızlı teşhis sağlanmaktadır. Olgu: Bu yazıda 4 yaşında bir erkek çocukta ağır seyirli bir pnömoni/plevral effüzyon olgusu sunulmuştur. Hastada etken olarak H1N1 virüsü ve human metapnömovirusun eşzamanlı varlığı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu metodları ile ortaya konmuştur.Sonuç: Bu vaka, pnömoni etyolojisinde viral nedenlerin araştırılmasının, özellikle polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile gereksiz antibiyotik kullanımından kaçınılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
