Abstract

There are several kinds of tick-born diseases. Lyme disease, riketsial spotted fever and ehrlichiosis common tickborn diseases with rare pulmonary involvement. Our case, 73-year-old, applied to our department with the complaints of cough, fever, lethargy, weakness, anorexia, headache, nausea, vomiting. On physical examination there were petechial maculopapular rashes all over the body. After finding the tick attached inside on her right thight she was thought to be a tick-borne disease clinically and radiologically. It was difficult to state the diagnosis with serology at laboratuary conditions in our country. The tick-born dieases with rare pulmonary involvement and our laboratory limitations in order to state the diagnosis are discussed with this patient on the light of the literature.

Özet

Keneyle bulaşan pek çok hastalık bilinmektedir. Bu hastalıklar arasında nadiren pulmoner tutulum yapan ve sık görülenler; Lyme hastalığı, riketsiyal benekli ateş grubu hastalıklar ve ehrlichiosistir. Sunulan olgu 73 yaşında, öksürük, ateş, uykuya eğilim, halsizlik, iştahsızlık, baş ağrısı, bulantı, kusma, tüm vücutta makülopapüler ve yer yer peteşiyel döküntülerle başvurdu ve fizik bakıda sağ uyluk iç kısmında kenenin görülmesiyle, radyolojik ve klinik olarak keneyle bulaşan hastalıklar düşünüldü. Bu olguya yaklaşımımız ve ülkemiz koşullarında serolojik olarak tanı koymakta karşılaştığımız sorunlar, pulmoner tutulum yapan kene kaynaklı akciğer hastalıkları ile birlikte ilgili literatür ışığında tartışıldı.
