Abstract

The disease caused by a new type of corona virus has been named corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by WHO. Pediatric children have been infected with the virus either by close con- tact with adults with COVID-19 or by exposure to the epidemic area. The infected children may present with fever, respiratory symptoms, like dry cough, nasal discharge, sore throat and fati- gue. Pediatric patients generally have a good prognosis. COVID- 19 virus nucleic acid detection by pharyngeal swab is an impor- tant basis for diagnosis. However, due to the limitation of sam- pling materials, especially in the early stage of the disease, the positive rate is relatively low. The early detection of lesions by computed tomography (CT) is conducive to early treatment for pediatric patients. In this case report, we aimed to present the findings of CT together with the literature overview of a 16-year- old male patient diagnosed with COVID-19.

Özet

Yeni tip korona virüsün neden olduğu hastalığa Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından korona virüs hastalığı (COVID-19) adı verildi. Pediyatrik hastaların patojen virüs ile enfekte olması; COVID 19 öyküsü bulunan yetişkinler ile yakın temas veya epidemik bölge- lerde bulunması ile gerçekleşmektedir. Enfekte çocuklar; ateş, kuru öksürük, burun akıntısı, boğaz ağrısı ve yorgunluk gibi solu- num sistemi semptomları gösterebilir. Genel olarak, pediatrik hastalar iyi bir prognoza sahiptir. Farengeal sürüntüde virüs nük- leik asitinin tespiti, tanı için önemli bir temel standarttır. Bununla birlikte, örnekleme materyallerinin, özellikle hastalığın erken ev- resindeki sınırlılığı nedeniyle pozitiflik oranı nispeten düşüktür. Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile lezyonların erken tespiti pediatrik hastalar için erken tedaviye olanak sağlar. Bu olgu sunumunda, COVID-19 tanısı konan 16 yaşında erkek hastada BT bulgularını literatür verileri ile birlikte sunmayı amaçladık.
