Abstract

Objective: Leishmaniasis is a common vector-borne infection affecting 12 million people in 98 countries. The most frequently used method in diagnosis is the microscopic investigation of the leishmania smears. The diagnostic value of this method varies according to the experience of the evaluator. In this prospective study, it was aimed to emphasize the importance of experience in the evaluation of lesional smears used in the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Methods: In this study, patients who were admitted to Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital Dermatological and Venereal Diseases Outpatient Clinic between January and December 2016 and who had lesions with suspicious cutaneous leishmaniasis were included. For all the cases, both in the routine microbiology laboratory and in the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, separate smears were performed by an experienced specialist and evaluated independently from each other. Results: In 70 of 98 cases studied, the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis was confirmed by laboratory evaluations. The rate of positivity was significantly higher in the smears analyzed by experienced specialist in the clinical and diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (95.7%) than in the smears analyzed by the routine microbiology laboratory (42.9%) (p<0.001). Conclusion: The data in our study showed that smears should be performed and evaluated by experienced specialists in the clinical and diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Özet

Amaç: Leishmaniasis, 98 ülkede 12 milyon insanı etkileyen vektör kaynaklı yaygın birenfeksiyondur. Tanıda en sık kullanılan yöntem leishmania yaymaların mikroskobikincelemesidir. Bu yöntemin tanısal değeri değerlendiricinin deneyimine göredeğişkenlik gösterir. Bu çalışmada kutanöz leishmaniasis tanısında lezyonal yaymalarındeğerlendirilmesinde deneyimin ne kadar önemli olduğunun saptanması amaçlandı.Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 2016 yılının Ocak ve Aralık ayları arasında Dicle Üniversitesi TıpFakültesi Hastanesi Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Polikliniği’ne başvuran ve deri leishmaniasisikuşkusu uyandıran lezyonlara sahip hastalar alındı. Bu hastaların tümünden hemrutin mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarında hem de kutanöz leishmaniasisin klinik ve tanısındadeneyimli uzman tarafından olmak üzere ayrı yaymalar yapıldı ve birbirlerinden bağımsızolarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 98 olgunun 70’inde kutanöz leishmaniasis tanısı laboratuvardeğerlendirmeleri ile doğrulandı. Kutanöz leishmaniasisin klinik ve tanısında deneyimliuzman tarafından yapılan yaymaların pozitifliği (%95,7) rutin mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarıtarafından yapılan yaymaların pozitifliğinden (%42,9) yüksekti (p<0,001).Sonuç: Çalışmamızdaki veriler gösterdi ki kutanöz leishmaniasis tanısı için yaymalarkutanöz leishmaniasisin klinik ve tanısında deneyimli uzmanlar tarafından yapılmalı vedeğerlendirilmelidir.
