Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency and clinical features of RSV infection among babies hospitalized with the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infection. Methods: The study is executed between January 2006 and April 2006. In 80 children between 0-24 months of age, who were hospitalized in our Pediatrics Clinic with the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infection based on clinical and laboratory findings, RSV was investigated as agent, using immunoassay method with Respi-Strip RSV (Coris Bioconcept) kit, and their clinical features were determined. Results: It was determined that 35% of the children had RSV infection. The families of RSV positive children were larger and the ages of their parents were higher. Comparing to RSV negative children, the frequency of fever and nasal mucus were significantly higher and CRP levels were more frequently positive in RSV positive children. Conclusion: Among cases of lower respiratory infections hospitalized in our clinic, we determined a high rate of RSV infections, which is concordant with literature. Determination of RSV infection in these patients can prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics, hospital infections due to viruses can be controlled more easily and antiviral therapy can be used when necessary. Because of these reasons, we planned to check RSV antigen routinely in patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infection

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hastanemize alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tanısıyla yatırılan bebeklerde RSV enfeksiyonu sıklığını ve klinik özelliklerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Çalışma prospektif olarak 1 Ocak 2006 ile 30 Nisan 2006 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Hastanemiz çocuk kliniğine klinik ve laboratuar bulguları ile alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tanısı konularak yatırılan 0-24 ay arasındaki 80 çocukta Respi-Strip RSV (Coris Bioconcept) kiti kullanılarak enzim immünoassey yöntemiyle etken olarak RSV arandı ve klinik özellikleri belirlendi. Bulgular: Olguların %35’inde RSV enfeksiyonu saptandı. RSV pozitif olarak saptanan hastaların aileleri daha kalabalık ve anne- baba yaşları daha ileriydi. RSV pozitif olgularda, RSV negatif olanlara göre ateş ve burun akıntısı semptomları anlamlı derecede daha çok ve CRP değerleri daha sık pozitifti. Sonuç: Hastanemizde alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tanısı ile yatırılan olgularda literatürle uyumlu olarak yüksek oranda RSV enfeksiyonu saptadık. Bu hastalarda RSV enfeksiyonunun tespit edilmesi ile gereksiz antibiyotik kullanımı önlenebilecek, virüse bağlı hastane enfeksiyonları daha kolay kontrol altına alınabilecek ve gerekli hastalara antiviral tedavi uygulanabilecektir. Bütün bu nedenlerle hastanemize alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tanısı ile yatırılan olgularda rutin RSV antijeni bakmayı planladık
